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 fi gure 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 bel ow shows what the manual
diagrams look and what they represent.

The VGA interface for PC-410 CPU Card can support a great range of

displays, such as SVGA, STN, TFT, EL.....etc. You can display CRT and

LCD Panel simultaneously on this board, but make sure that the modes for
both CRT and LCD Panel must be the same. If not, only CRT can be
displayed.

This card encloses with one Utility Disk; it contains two files: VGA.EXE
and AWDFLASH.EXE. The directions are as follows:

Before you change any setup for VGA and system BI OS, you have to install
your utility disk first, then the file will self-decompress and create sub­directory on your hard driver.

Chapter 5 Award BIOS Setup

5-1. INTRODUCTION

This chapter will show you the function of a BIOS in managing the features
of your system. The PC-410 Embedded Card is equipped with the BIOS for
system chipset from Award Software Inc. This page briefly explains the
function of a BIOS 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:

BIOS setup will display all possible modes that supported by the HDD
including NORMAL, LBA, & LARGE.

If HDD does not support LBA mode, ‘LBA’ option will be shown.

If no of cylinders is less then or equal to 1024, no ‘LARGE’ option will be
shown.

User can select a mode which is appropriate for then.

PC-410 USER‘S MANUAL

HDD MODE

The Award BIOS supports 3 HDD mode: NORMAL, LBA, & LARGE

NORMAL mode:

Generic access mode in which neither the BIOS nor the IDE controller will
make any transformations during accessing.

The maximum number of cylinders, heads & sectors for NORMAL mode are
1024, 16, &63.

no. Cylinder (1024)
x no. Head ( 16)
x no. Sector ( 63)
x no. Per sector ( 512)

--------------------------------------­ Total: 528 Mega byte

If user set his HDD to NORMAL mode, the maximum accessible HDD size
will be 528 Megabytes even though its physical size may be greater than that.

LBA (logical Block Addressing) mode:

A new HDD accessing method to overcome the 528 Megabyte bottleneck. The
number of cylinders. head & sectors shown in setup may not be the number
physically contained in the HDD.

During HDD accessing, The IDE controller will transform the logical address
described by sector, head & cylinder number into its own physical address
inside the HDD.

The maximum HDD size supported by LBA mode is 8.4 Gigabyte which is
obtained by the following formula:

no. Cylinder (1024)
x no. Head ( 255)
x no. Sector ( 63)
x no. Per sector ( 512)

--------------------------------------­ Total: 8.4 Giga byte

Chapter 5 Award BIOS Setup

PC-410 USER‘S MANUAL

Chapter 5 Award BIOS Setup

LARGE mode

:

Some IDE HDDs contain more than 1024 cylinder without LBA support (in
some cases, user do not want LBA). The BIOS provides another alternative to
support these kinds of HDD.

CYLS HEADS SECTOR MODE

----------------------------------------------------------------­ 1120 16 59 NORMAL
560 32 59 LARGE

BIOS tricks DOS (or other OS) that the number of cylinder is less than 1024
by dividing it by 2. At the same time, the number of heads is multiplied by 2.
A reverse transformation process will be made inside INT 13h in order to
access the right HDD address the right HDD address.

Maximum HDD size:

no. Cylinder (1024)
x no. Head ( 32)
x no. Sector ( 63)
x no. Per sector ( 512)

--------------------------------------­ Total: 1 Giga byte

REMARKS

:

To support LBA or LARGE mode of HDDs, there must be some softwares
involved. All these softwares are located in the Award HDD Service Routine
(INT 13h). It may be failed to access a HDD with LBA(LARGE) mode
selected if you are running under a Operating System which replaces the whole
INT 13h.

that a video error has occurred and the BIOS cannot initialize the video screen
to display any additional information. This beep code con-sists of a single long
beep followed by three short beeps. The other one code indicates that your
DRAM error has occurred. This beep code consists of a single long beep
repeatedly.

CMOS BATTERY FAILURE :

When the CMOS battery is out of work or has run out, the user has to replace
the whole unit.

CMOS CHECKSUM ERROR :

This error inform you that the CMOS is corrupted. When the battery runs weak,
this situation might happen. Please check the battery and change a new one
when necessary.

DISPLAY SWITCH IS SET INCORRECTLY :

controller whether in proper Setup. If there are no floppy drive installed,
Ensure the Diskette Drive selection in Setup is set to NONE.

KEYBOARD ERROR OR NO KEYBOARD PRESENT :

When this situation happens, please check keyboard attachment and no keys
being pressed during the boot. If you are purposely configuring the system
without a keyboard, set the error halt condition in Setup to HALT ON ALL,
BUT KEYBOARD. This will cause the BIOS to ignore the missing keyboard
and continue the boot.

MEMORY ADDRESS ERROR :

When the memory address indicates error. You can use this location along
with the memory map for your system to find and replace the bad memory
chips.

MEMORY SIZE HAS CHANGED :

Memory has been added or removed since the last boot. In EISA mode use
Configuration Utility to re-configure the memory configuration. In ISA mode
enter Setup and enter the new memory size in the memory fields.

PC-410 USER‘S MANUAL

Appendix C Trouble Shooting

MEMORY VERIFYING ERROR :

It indicates an error verifying a value already written to memory. Use the
location along with your system's memory map to locate the bad chip.

OFFENDING ADDRESS MISSING :

This message is used in connection with the I/O CHANNEL CHECK and
RAM PARITY ERROR messages when the segment that has caused the
problem cannot be isolated.

REBOOT ERROR :

When this error occurs that requires you to reboot.. Press any key and the
system will reboot.

SYSTEM HALTED :

Indicates the present boot attempt has been aborted and the system must be
rebooted. Press and hold down the CTRL and ALT keys and press DEL.
