2-3 HOW TO SET THE 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 configuration 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 example, 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 all through this manual. The figure below shows what
the manual diagrams look and what they represent.

5-1. INTRODUCTION
This chapter will show you the function of the BIOS in managing the
features of your system. The PC-430 Embedded Card is equipped with the
BIOS for system chipset from Award Software Inc. This page briefly
explains the function of the 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 the 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:

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
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)

-------------------------------------- Total: 1 Giga byte
REMARKS
:
To support LBA or LARGE mode of HDDs, there must be some software
involved. All these software 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.

check the 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.

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.
