1-3. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Follow the messages below to protect your systems and yourself fr om
damage:

1. Beware of the static electric charges on your computer on all occasions.

Wearing a wrist belt to absorb static charges is found a very protective
way.

2. Don‘t touch any components of this card when the computer 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 card with the computer on, 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 hard ware 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 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 all through this manual. The figure below shows what
the manual diagrams look and what they represent.

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-510 Pentium 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:

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

LARGE mode

:

Some IDE HDDs contain more than 1024 cylinder without LBA support
(in some cases, user does 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.

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 an operating system which replaces
the whole INT 13h.

Appendix C Trouble Shooting

C-1 TROUBLE SHOOTING FOR ERROR MESSAGE

The following information informs 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 are still encountered, please contact your
distributor for maintenance.

POST BEEP :

Currently there are two kinds of beep codes in BIOS. The one code in­dicates that a video error has occurred and the BIOS cannot initialize the
video screen to display any additional information. This beep code con­sists 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 has broken down or run out, the user has to
replace the whole unit.

CMOS CHECKSUM ERROR :

This error informs 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 :

Display switch on the motherboard can be set to either monochrome or
color. This indicates the switch is set to a different setting than indicated in
Setup. Determine which setting is correct, and then either turn off the
system and change the jumper, or enter Setup and change the video
selection.

DISK BOOT FAILURE:

When you can‘t find the boot device, insert a system disk into Drive A and
press < Enter >. Make sure both the controller and cables are all in proper
positions, also make sure the disk is formatted correct device. Then reboot
the system.

Appendix C Trouble Shooting

DISKETTE DRIVES OR TYPES MISMATCH ERROR :

When the diskette drive type is different from CMOS, please run setup or
configure the drive again.

ERROR ENCOUNTERED INITIALIZING HARD DRIVE :

When you can‘t initialize the hard drive. Assure the adapter is installed
correctly and all cables are correctly and firmly attached. Also be sure the
correct hard drive type is selected in Setup.

ERROR INITIALIZING HARD DISK CONTROLLER :

When this error occurs. Be sure the cord is exactly installed in the bus.
Make sure the correct hard drive type is selected in Setup. Also check
whether all of the jumpers are set correctly in the hard drive.

FLOPPY DISK CONTROLLER ERROR OR
NO CONTROLLER PRESENT :

When you cannot find or initialize the floppy drive controller, please check
whether the connector is in proper Setup. If there is 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.

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.
