WADE-8070 is equipped with the AWARD BIOS stored in Flash ROM. These BIOS
has a built-in setup program that allows users to modify the basic system
configuration easily. This type of information is stored in CMOS RAM so that it is
retained during power-off periods. When system is turned on, WADE-8070
communicates with peripheral devices and checks its hardware resources against the
configuration information stored in the CMOS memory. If any error is detected, or
the CMOS parameters need to be initially defined, the diagnostic program will
prompt the user to enter the SETUP program. Some errors are significant enough to
abort the start-up.

4.11 Default Menu
Selecting “Defaults” from the main menu shows two options which are described
below,
Load Fail-Safe Defaults
When <Enter> is pressed, a confirmation dialog box with a message similar to:
Load Fail-Safe Defaults (Y/N) ? N
Pressing ‘Y’ loads the BIOS default values for the most stable, minimal-performance
system operations.
Load Optimized Defaults
When <Enter> is pressed, a confirmation dialog box with a message similar to:
Load Optimized Defaults (Y/N) ? N
Pressing ‘Y’ loads the default values that are factory settings for optimal performance
system operations.
4.12 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.
BIOS Setup Information
WADE-8070 User’s Manual 4-27
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.
4.13 Exiting Selection
Save & Exit Setup
Pressing <Enter> on this item asks for confirmation:
Save to CMOS and EXIT (Y/N)? Y
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-8070 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
ATX Power Setting
WADE-8070 supports ATX only. Therefore, there is no other setting that really needs
to be set up. However, there are only two connectors that must be connected—J26
(20pins Power Connector). Portwell wants to provide customer better performance
and more reliable system. By using this CPU Supplementary will enhance the power
drawing to the motherboard. However, J27, +12V CPU Supplementary Power
connector must be connected all the time. Otherwise, the system will fail to boot up.
Serial ATA and IDE Hard Disk Setting
Unlike IDE bus, each Serial ATA channel can only connect to one SATA hard disk at a
time; there are total two connectors, J14 and J15. 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.
Troubleshooting
WADE-8070 User’s Manual 5-2
5.2 BIOS Setting
It is assumed that users have correctly adopted modules and connected all the
devices cables required before turning on DC 12V power. 200-pin DDR2 SDRAM,
keyboard, mouse, SATA hard disk, VGA connector, device power cables, ATX
accessories 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-8070, 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-8070 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 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 serial port to release IRQ #4
Disable COM2 serial port to release IRQ #3
Etc…
A quick review of the basic IRQ mapping is given below for your reference.
IRQ# Description
IRQ #0 System Timer
IRQ #1 Keyboard Event
IRQ #2 Usable IRQ
IRQ #3 COM2
IRQ #4 COM1
IRQ #5 Usable IRQ
IRQ #6 Diskette Event
IRQ #7 Usable IRQ
IRQ #8 Real-Time Clock
IRQ #9 Usable IRQ
IRQ #10 Usable IRQ
IRQ #11 Usable IRQ
IRQ #12 IBM Mouse Event
IRQ #13 Coprocessor Error
IRQ #14 Hard Disk Event
IRQ #15 Usable IRQ
It is then very easy to find out which IRQ resource is ready for additional peripherals.
If IRQ resource is not enough, please disable some devices listed above to release
further IRQ numbers.
