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 configura tion 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 b elow 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 belo w 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-560-G5 Pentium Embedded Card is
equipped with the BIOS for system chipset from Award Software Inc.
This page b riefly explains the func tion of a BIOS in managing the special
features of your system. T he 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:

TROUBLE­SHOOTING

This section outlines the errors messages that may occur when you
operate the system. It also gives you some tips on how to solve the
problems.

Sections include:

! Troubleshooting for Error Messages

! Troubleshooting for POST Code

Page: C-1

Appendix C Troubleshooting

TROUBLESHOOTING FOR 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.

POST BEEP :

Currently there are two kind 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 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 :

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 Troubleshooting

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 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
memor y 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-560-G5 USER′S MANUAL

Page: C-3

Appendix C Troubleshooting

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.
