2-3. HOW TO SET THE JUMPERS

You can configure your board by setting the jumpers. Jumper is consists of
two or three metal pins with a plastic base mounted on the card, and by using
a small plastic "cap", Also known as the jumper cap (with a metal contact
inside), you are able to connect the pins. So you can set-up your hardware
configuration by "opening" or "closing" the pins.

The jumper can be combined into sets that 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 like.

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 figures on the next following page will
show you what the manual diagrams look like 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-620-G4 Socket 370 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:

IDE PRIMARY MASTER/SLAVE PIO:
IDE SECONDARY MASTER/SLAVE PIO:

The four IDE PIO fields allow you to set a PIO mode (0-4) for each of the
four IDE devices that the onboard IDE interface supports. Modes 0 through 4
provide successively increased performance. In Auto mode, the system
automatically determines the best mode for each device.

IDE PRIMARY MASTER/SLAVE UDMA:
IDE SECONDARY MASTER/SLAVE UDMA:

UDMA, also known as Ultra DMA, is a DMA data transfer protocol that
utilizes ATA commands and the ATA bus to allow DMA commands to
transfer data at a maximum burst rate of 33 MB/s. When you select Auto in
the four IDE UDMA fields, the system automatically determines the optimal
data transfer rate for each IDE device.

ON-CHIP PRIMARY PCI IDE:

TROUBLE SHOOTING FOR ERROR MESSAGES

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 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 :

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.

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 adap ter 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 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.
