2.2 Preface
The software engineering specification is a deployment from product marketing specification. It should outline majo r
tasks to be implemented in a specific model. For any model which has been defined from product marketing division, there
should have a product marketing specification comes out.
The purpose of this specification i s to be a n impl ementati on guideline for engi neers who a re respon sible for t he model. It
intends to avoid ambiguity about function definitions so as to allow engineers to shorten their implementation period.
The specification covers all the bundled software components which including BIOS, Micro-Controller, device drivers
and applications. The target Operating Systems will be Windows XP. The device drivers and applications are options based on
per-customer’s requirements. The engineers should make sure that these drivers and application could run without any
difficulties on the target PC2001 model.
The readers of this specification are assumed to have enough experiences and knowledge to understand whatever in the
context. The specification will not intend to explain any detail of specific topic.

INPUT :
Input voltage range : 9V~17Vdc (Battery) or 18V~21.5Vdc (Adaptor).
Adapter: 20V @ 3.25A,65W constant voltage mode .
Battery: Main Battery: 4 Cells (4S1P) DC 14.8V 2200mA 3 Cells(3S2P) DC 11.1V 2200mA/2000mA
Second Battery: 3 Cells(3S1P) DC 11.1V(Option) 2200mA
2.5.1 General Requirement
The purpose of the Power Management (PM) is trying to reduce the power consumption of the system and extent the
battery life, increase the time without recharging the battery. The Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)
specification is the latest and better PM method and will replace the traditional APM and PNP functions. ACPI is a kind of
Operating System Directed Power Management (OSPM), that is, the OS will control the system/devices to enter proper
power-saving mode and determine when to do it.
The BIOS shall provide the ACPI table that is written by ASL language, to tell the OS how to setup and control the
system/device configuration and the power-saving mode. So the system H/W, BIOS and drivers must be meet the ACPI
specification:
ACPI 1.0b compliant

2.6.2 Uniwill Smart Power Function
The purpose of Smart Power is to save the power consumption during the system is not busy. This function not only save the
power of Battery to extend the Notebook’s battery working time, but also reduce the the temperature of CPU / Chip and keep
system working in a lower temperature to extend the CPU and whole system’s life. Reduce temperature will also keep
Operation System work stable.

lower level 4 when battery mode detected (ex. Banias 1.7G 6 point will keep maximum at level 2, Dothan
1.8G 7 point will keep maximum at level 3). This option can be enabled/disabled by CMOS setup.
2.6.2.3 Silent Mode: The FAN will stop or run at very low speed to keep system slient. In Windows XP
OS press Instant On button will toggle Silent mode. CPU FSB 400 ext. clock will decrease to 80MHz,
CPU FSB 533 ext. clock will decrease to 90MHz CPU bus ratio will keep at the minimun no matter AC
mode or Battery mode when Silent mode enabled.
2.6.3 CPU Fan Control
In the system use the fan as the active cooling device. It is not necessary always turn on full speed, so following will
depict the method and specification of fan speed control. Before it we would like to define the fan speed:
Please refer to SmartPower Management Software Designer’s Guide
Because fan will consume some power and make some noise, the system will try to keep the fan in low speed and keep the
system in high performance as possible. Unfortunately, there are some trade-off among some factors: thermal, noise and CPU
performance, so we increase the fan speed as active cooling method and triger the CPU clock throttling as passive cooling
method. The CPU clock and fan speed is controlled depend on the CPU temperature from hardwire thermal monitor.
2.6.4 The backlight control of LCD
The LCD panel is another key parts that will consume more power of the notebook system, so there is a way to reduce the
power consumption on battery only, e.i. reduce the brightness of backlight when end-user unplug the AC adaptor.
The backlight is controled through the KBC controller, and it is divide into 8 levels from darkest to brightest. The KBC
bios know the status of power source and the current backlight’s brightness any time. When the AC adaptor unplug, the KBC
will reduce the brightness one or two level automatically.
There is another approach to control the backlight, it will be turn off when LCD cover is close (LID switch), conversely,
it will be turn on when LCD cover is open
The Fn+F6/Fn+F7 adjusted the backlight. And BIOS keep it temporality. The next boot will go to the default
setting of backlight.
When internal keyboard and touchpad have not data input Embedded Controller about 10 minutes the LCD
Backlight will reduce. If embedded controller has input from keyboard or touchpad the backlight will recover.

2.7 Crisis Disk
Crisis Disk function can recover the BIOS back if flash BIOS fail and can’t boot up due to lost power while BIOS flashing or
any other situations. Operation as below:
2.7.1 Crisis Disk options: There’re 3 kinds of Crisis Disk options (Press Key Conbine) as below
2.7.1.1 Ctrl-Home: NVRAM data (DMI string) will be preserved, CMOS data will be destroyed after
flash.
2.7.1.2 Ctrl-PageDown: both NVRAM and CMOS data will be preserved.
2.7.1.3 Ctrl-PageUp: both NVRAM and CMOS data will be destroyed.
2.7.1.4 The correct way to press these combine key is, Press and Hold “Ctrl” key, then Press and
release the second key (ex. Home) several times.
2.7.2 Prepare a Floppy Disk contain BIOS ROM file
2.7.2.1Complete Format a Floppy Disk, to make sure there’s no bad sector
2.7.2.2 Rename the BIOS ROM filename to “AMIBOOT.ROM” and copy this file into the Floppy Disk
2.7.2.3Insert the Floppy Disk into USB Floppy Disk Drive
2.7.2.4Insert the USB Floppy Disk Drive into any USB port
2.7.3Start to flash BIOS with Crisis Disk Function
2.7.3.1 Insert AC adaptor, in case the Battery is too low to shutdown during flashing BIOS
2.7.3.2 Press Power Button to turn on power
2.7.3.2 Press “Crisis Disk option key” (ex. Ctrl-Home) several times
2.7.3.3 Watch the USB Floppy Disk Drive is accessing a while
2.7.3.4 Screen will show a “Starting FLASH Recovery.” message while flashing BIOS

The setup function only can be invo ked by pressing F2 key during POST that provide a appr oach to change some set ting and
configuration the user prefer, and the changed values will save in the battery backup RAM of CMOS RTC and will take effect
after the system rebooted. The setup uses a menu interface to allow the user to configure their system and the features are briefly
