Follow the messages below to avoid your systems from damage:
Chapter 1 Introduction
1. Avoid your system from static electric on all occasions.
2. Stay safe from the electric shock. Don‘t touch any components of this card
when the card is on. Always disconnect power when the system is not in use.
3. Disconnect power when you change any hardware devices. For instance,
when you connect a jumper or install any cards, a surge of power may
damage the electronic components or the whole system.

2-3 HOW TO SET JUMPERS
You can configure your board by setting jumpers. A jumper consists of two or
three metal pins with a plastic base mounted on the card, and a small plastic
“cap”( with a metal contact inside) to connect the pins. So you can set up your
hardware confi guration by “open” or “close” the pins.
The jumper can be combined into sets which called jumper blocks. When the
jumpers are all in the block, you have to put them together to set up the
hardware configuration. The figure below shows how this looks.
JUMPERS AND CAPS
If a jumper has three pins, for examples, labelled PIN1, PIN2, and PIN3. You
can connect PIN1 & PIN2 to create one setting and shorting. You can either
connect PIN2 & PIN3 to create another setting. The same jumper diagrams are
applied a ll through this manual. The figure below shows what the manual
diagrams look and what they represent.

The watchdog timer can reset the system automatically. It is defined at I/O port
443H. When you want to enable the watchdog timer, please write I/O port
443H, then the system will reset itself. When you want to disable the function,
write I/O port 441H, the system will run the command to stop the Watchdog
function.
The PC-310 watchdog function : write I/O port address 0443 to enable
watchdog and write I/O port address 441H to disable watchdog. The timer's
intervals have a tolerance of 25%, so you should program an introduction that
will refresh the timer about every second.
The following program shows you how to program the watch timer in your
program.
Watchdog enable program:
MOV AX, 000FH (choose the values you need; start from 0)
MOV DX, 443H
OUT DX, AX
Watchdog disable program:

Chapter 4 AMI BIOS Setup
4-1. INTRODUCTION
This chapter will show you the function of a BIOS in managing the features
of your system. The PC-310-G3 Embedded Card is equipped with the BIOS
for system chipset from AMI Software Inc. This page briefly explains the
function of a BI OS in managing the special features of your system. The
following pages describe how to use the BIOS for system chipset Setup
menu.
Your application programs (such as word processing, spreadsheets, and
games) rely on an operating system such as DOS or OS/2 to manage such
things as keyboard, monitor, disk drives, and memory.
The operating system relies on a BIOS (Basic Input and Output system), a
program stored on a ROM (Read-only Memory) chip, to initialize and
configure your computer's hardware. As the interface between the hardware
and the operating system, the BIOS enables you to make basic changes to
your system's hardware without having to write a new operating system.
The following diagram illustrates the interlocking relationships between the
system hardware, BIOS, operating system, and application program:

drivers, hard disk drivers, video display, memory, date, and time, and to make
setting in the ALI chipset. The SETUP program can only be accessed when the
CPU Card has been installed in your system and all necessary power, drive,
and display connections have been made. When you turn on your comp uter,
the system will run a memory check, and you can see it counting through the
memory on your screen. The following display will also appear on your screen:

TROUBLE SHOOTING FOR SYSTEM ERROR MESSAGE
The following information inform you the error messages and the trouble shooting.
Please adjust your systems according to the messages below. And make sure all the
components and connectors are in proper position and firmly attached. If the errors
still encountered, please contact with your distributor for maintenance.
BEEP 1: REFRESH FAILURE
The memory refresh circuitry is faulty. Reseat the memory SIMMs or DIPs. If
the system still beeps, replace the memory.
BEEP 2: PARITY ERROR
Parity error in the base memory ( the first 64 KB block) of memory. Reset the
memory SIMMs or DIPs. If the system still beeps, replace the memory.
BEEP 3: BASE 64 KB Memory Failure
Memory failure in the first 64 KB. Reset the memory SIMMs or DIPs. If the
system still beeps, replace the memory.
BEEP 4: TIMER NOT OPERATIONAL
A memory failure in the first 64 KB of memory, or Timer 1 is not functioning.
The CPU Card must be replaced.
BEEP 5: PROCESSOR ERROR:
Faulty CPU. The CPU must be replaced.
BEEP 6: 8042-Gate A20 Failure:
