System Installation
WADE-8056 & 8556 User’s Manual 3-5
3.3.1 Chipset Component Driver
The chipset used on WADE-8056 & 8556 is relatively new which operating systems
might not be able to recognize. To overcome this compatibility issue, for Windows
Operating Systems such as Windows-2000/XP, please install its INF before any of
other Drivers are installed.
3.3.2 Intel Integrated Graphics GMCH Chip
Using Intel® Q965 GMCH with Media Accelerator (GMA) 3000 High performance
graphic integrated chipset is aimed to gain an outstanding graphic performance. It is
accompanied by shared up to 384MB video memory with Intel DVMT 4.0. This
combination makes WADE-8056 an excellent piece of multimedia hardware.
With no additional video adaptor, this onboard video will usually be the system
display output. By adjusting the BIOS setting to disable on-board VGA, an add-on
PCI VGA card can take over the system display.

3.4 Clear CMOS Operation
The following table indicates how to enable/disable Clear CMOS Function hardware
circuit by putting jumpers at proper position.
JP3 Function
1-2 Short Normal Operation Ì
2-3 Short Clear CMOS contents
To correctly operate CMOS Clear function, user must turn off the system, move JP3
jumper to short pin 2 and 3. To clear CMOS contents, please turn the power back on
and turn it off again for AT system, or press the toggle switch a few times for ATX
system. Move the JP3 back to 1-2 position (Normal Operation) and start the system.
System will then produce a “CMOS Check Sum Error” message and hold up. Users
may then follow the displayed message to load BIOS default setting.
3.5 WDT Function
The working algorithm of the WDT function can be simply described as a counting
process. The Time-Out Interval can be set through software programming. The
availability of the time-out interval settings by software or hardware varies from
boards to boards.
WADE-8056 allows users control WDT through dynamic software programming. The
WDT starts counting when it is activated. It sends out a signal to system reset or to
non-maskable interrupt (NMI), when time-out interval ends. To prevent the time-out
interval from running out, a re-trigger signal will need to be sent before the counting
reaches its end. This action will restart the counting process. A well-written WDT
program should keep the counting process running under normal condition. WDT
should never generate a system reset or NMI signal unless the system runs into
troubles.
System Installation
WADE-8056 & 8556 User’s Manual 3-7
The related Control Registers of WDT are all included in the following sample
program that is written in C language. User can fill a non-zero value into the
Time-out Value Register to enable/refresh WDT. System will be reset after the
Time-out Value to be counted down to zero. Or user can directly fill a zero value into
Time-out Value Register to disable WDT immediately. To ensure a successful
accessing to the content of desired Control Register, the sequence of following
program codes should be step-by-step run again when each register is accessed.
Additionally, there are maximum 2 seconds of counting tolerance that should be
considered into user’ application program. For more information about WDT, please
refer to Winbond W83627HG-AW data sheet.
There are two PNP I/O port addresses that can be used to configure WDT,
1) 0x2E:EFIR (Extended Function Index Register, for identifying CR index number)
2) 0x2F:EFDR (Extended Function Data Register, for accessing desired CR)
Below are some example codes, which demonstrate the use of WDT.
//Step1. Enter W83627HG configuration registers mode:
outportb(0x2E, 0x87);
outportb(0x2E, 0x87);
//* Step2. Pin89 to be WDTO
outportb(0x2E, 0x2b);
outportb(0x2E + 1, 0x04);
//* Step3. Select logic device 8:
outportb(0x2E, 0x07);
outportb(0x2E + 1, 0x08);
//* Step4. Config WDT using second to be unit:
outportb(0x2E, 0xf5);
outportb(0x2E + 1, 0x00);
//* Step5. Set WDT time-out time:
outportb(0x2E, 0xf6);
outportb(0x2E + 1, time_out);
//* Step6. Exit configuration registers mode:

3.6 GPIO
The WADE-8056 & 8556 provides 8 programmable input or output ports that can be
individually configured to perform a simple basic I/O function. Users can configure
each individual port to become an input or output port by programming register bit
of I/O Selection. To invert port value, the setting of Inversion Register has to be
made. Port values can be set to read or write through Data Register.

3.6.2 WADE-8056 & 8556 GPIO Programming Guide
There are 8 GPIO pins on WADE-8056. These GPIO pins are from SUPER I/O
(W83627GH-AW) GPIO pins, and can be programmed as Input or Output direction.
J15 pin header is for 8 GPIO pins and its pin assignment as following :
J15_Pin1=GPIO0:from SUPER I/O_GPIO10 with Ext. 4.7K PH
J15_Pin2=GPIO1:from SUPER I/O_GPIO11 with Ext. 4.7K PH

System Installation
WADE-8056 & 8556 User’s Manual 3-9
There are several Configuration Registers (CR) of W83627HG-AW needed to be
programmed to control the GPIO direction, and status(GPI)/value(GPO). CR00h ~
CR2F are common (global) registers to all Logical Devices (LD) in W83627HG. CR07h
contains the Logical Device Number that can be changed to access the LD as needed.
LD7 contains the GPIO10~17 registers.
Programming Guide:
Step1: CR2A_Bit [7.2]. P [1,1,1,1,1,1]; to select multiplexed pins as GPIO10~17 pins
Step2: LD7_CR07h.P [07h]; Point to LD7
Step3: LD7_CR30h_Bit0.P1; Enable LD7
Step4: Select GPIO direction, Get Status or output value.
LD7_CRF0h; GPIO17 ~ 10 direction, 1 = input, 0 = output pin
LD7_CRF2h.P [00h]; Let CRF1 (GPIO data port) non-invert to prevent from confusion
LD7_CRF1h; GPIO17~10 data port, for input pin, get status from the related bit, for
output pin, write value to the related bit.
For example,
LD7_CRF0h_Bit4.P0; Let GPIO14 as output pin
LD7_CRF2h_Bit4.P0; Let CRF1_Bit4 non-inverted
LD7_CRF1h_Bit4.P0; Output “0” to GPIO14 pin (J25_Pin6)
LD7_CRF0h_Bit0.P1; Let GPIO10 as input pin
LD7_CRF2h_Bit0.P0; Let CRF1_Bit0 non-inverted
Read LD7_CRF1h_Bit0; Read the status from GPIO10 pin (J25_Pin1)
How to access W83627HG CR?
In WADE-8056, the EFER = 002Eh, and EFDR = 002Fh.
EFER and EFDR are 2 IO ports needed to access W83627HG-AW CR.
EFER is the Index Port, EFDR is the Data Port.
CR index number needs to be written into EFER first,
Then the data will be read/written from/to EFDR.
To R/W W83627HG-AW CR, it is needed to Enter/Enable Configuration Mode first.
When completing the programming, it is suggested to Exit/Disable Configuration
Mode.
Enter Configuration Mode: Write 87h to IO port EFER twice.
Exit Configuration Mode: Write AAh to IO port EFER.

4.13 Supervisor/User Password Setting
Either supervisor or user password can be setup, or both of then. The differences
between are:
Set Supervisor Password : can enter and change the options of the setup menus.
Set User Password : just can only enter but do not have the right to change the
options of the setup menus. When selecting this function, the following message will
appear at the center of the screen to assist you in creating a password.
ENTER PASSWORD
Type the password, up to eight characters in length, and press <Enter>. The
password typed now will clear any previously entered password from CMOS
memory. You will be asked to confirm the password. Type the password again and
press <Enter>. You may also press <Esc> to abort the selection and not enter a
password.
To disable a password, just press <Enter> when prompted to enter the password. A
message will confirm the password will be disabled. Once the password is disabled,
the system will reboot and Setup can be entered freely.
PASSWORD DISABLED
When a password has been enabled, user will be prompted to enter it every time user
tries to enter Setup. This prevents an unauthorized person from changing any part of
your system configuration.
Additionally, when a password is enabled, you can also require the BIOS to request a
password every time your system is rebooted. This would prevent unauthorized use
of the computer.
User may determine when the password is required within the BIOS Features Setup
Menu and its Security option (see Section 3). If the Security option is set to “System”,
the password will be required both at boot and at entry to Setup. If set to “Setup”,
prompting only occurs when trying to enter Setup.

Pressing “Y” stores the selections made in the menus in CMOS – a special section of
memory that stays on after system off. During subsequnet booting of computer, the
BIOS configures the system according to the Setup selections stored in CMOS. After
saving the values the system is restarted again.
Exit Without Saving
Pressing <Enter> on this item asks for confirmation:
Quit Without Saving (Y/N)? N
This allows user to exit Setup without storing in CMOS any change. The previous
selections remain in effect. This exits the Setup utility and restarts your computer.

Troubleshooting
This chapter provides a few useful tips to quickly get WADE-8056 & 8556 running
with success. As basic hardware installation has been addressed in Chapter 2, this
chapter will primarily focus on system integration issues, in terms of BIOS setting,
and OS diagnostics.
5.1 Hardware Quick Installation
P4 Power connector
WADE-8056 & 8556 requires power drawing from two power connectors (J14 and
J29). The CPU supplementary Power Connector (J14) has to be connected to a system
all the time. Otherwise, the system won’t boot up properly. If J14 isn’t connected, it
could cause system for failed to boot up.
Serial ATA Hard Disk Setting for IDE/RAID/AHCI
Unlike IDE bus, each Serial ATA channel can only connect to one SATA hard disk at a
time; there are total two connectors, J18, J19, J20 and J21. The installation of Serial
ATA is simpler and easier than IDE, because SATA hard disk doesn’t require setting
up Master and Slave, which can reduce mistake of hardware installation. All you
need to operate IDE, RAID and AHCI application for system, please follow up setting
guide in BIOS programming (Table 5-1); Furthermore, you can consult chapter 4
partially of “OnChip IDE Device”.

5.2 BIOS Setting
It is assumed that users have correctly adopted modules and connected all the
devices cables required before turning on ATX power. CPU, CPU Fan, 240-pin DDR2
SDRAM, keyboard, mouse, floppy drive, IDE hard disk, printer, VGA connector,
device cables, ATX accessories or 12V 4-pin power cable are good examples that
deserve attention. With no assurance of properly and correctly accommodating these
modules and devices, it is very possible to encounter system failures that result in
malfunction of any device.
To make sure that you have a successful start with WADE-8056, it is recommended,
when going with the boot-up sequence, to hit “DEL” key and enter the BIOS setup
menu to tune up a stable BIOS configuration so that you can wake up your system far
well.
Loading the default optimal setting
When prompted with the main setup menu, please scroll down to “Load Optimal
Defaults”, press “Enter” and “Y” to load in default optimal BIOS setup. This will
force your BIOS setting back to the initial factory configuration. It is recommended to
do this so you can be sure the system is running with the BIOS setting that Portwell
has highly endorsed. As a matter of fact, users can load the default BIOS setting any
time when system appears to be unstable in boot up sequence.
Auto Detect Hard Disks
In the BIOS => Standard CMOS setup menu, pick up any one from
Primary/Secondary Master/Slave IDE ports, and press “Enter”. Setup the selected
IDE port and its access mode to “Auto”. This will force system to automatically pick
up the IDE devices that are being connected each time system boots up.
Troubleshooting
WADE-8056 & 8556 User’s Manual 5-3
Improper disable operation
There are too many occasions where users disable a certain device/feature in one
application through BIOS setting. These variables may not be set back to the original
values when needed. These devices/features will certainly fail to be detected.
When the above conditions happen, it is strongly recommended to check the BIOS
settings. Make sure certain items are set as they should be. These include the COM1/
COM2/COM3/COM4 ports, USB ports, external cache, on-board VGA and Ethernet.
It is also very common that users would like to disable a certain device/port to
release IRQ resource. A few good examples are
Disable COM1/COM4 serial port to release IRQ #4
Disable COM2/COM3 serial port to release IRQ #3
Etc…
A quick review of the basic IRQ mapping is given below for your reference.
