2-3 HOW TO SET THE JUMPERS
You can configure your board by setting the 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 har dware configurati on by "opening" or "closing" 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 loo ks.
JUMPERS AND CAPS
For example, if a jumper has three pins, 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 t hrough 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-680 P-II/P-III Embedded Card is
equipped with the BIOS for system chipset from Award Software Inc. This
page briefl y explains the function of a BIOS in managing t he special
features of your system. T he following pages de scribe 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:

EDO DRAM SPEED SELECTION:
The DRAM timing is controlled by the DRAM Timing Registers. The
timings programmed into this register are dependent on the system design.
Slower rates may be required in certain system designs to support loosse
layouts or slower memory.
EDO CASx# MA WAIT STATE:
You can select the timing control type of EDO DRAM CAS MA. (memory

The choice: 1,2.
EDO RASx# WAIT STATE:
You can select the timing control type of EDO DRAM RAS MA (memory
address bus).
SDRAM RAS-to-CAS DELAY:
You can select RAS to CAS Delay time in HCLKs of 2/2 or 3/3. The
system board designer should set the values in this field, depending on the
DRAM installed. Do not change the values in this field unless you change
specifications of the installed DRAM or the installed CPU.
SDRAM RAS PRECHARGE TIME:
Defines the length of time for Row Address Strobe is allowed to precharge.

performance. However, if any program writes to this memory area, a system
error may result.
8 BIT I/O RECOVERY TIME:
The recovery time is the length of time, measured in CPU clocks, which the
system will delay after the completion of an input/output request. This
delay takes place becaue the CPU is operating so much faster than the
input/output bus that the CPU must be delayed to allow fro the completion
of the I/O. This item allows you to determine the recovery time allowed for
8bit I/O.
16 BIT I/O RECOVERY TIME:
This item allows you to determine the recovery time allowed for 16bit I/O.
MEMORY HOLE AT 15-16M:
In order to improve performance, certain space in memory can be reserved
for ISA cards. This memory must be mapped into the memory space below
16MB.
PASSIVE RELEASE:
When Enabled, CPU to PCI bus accesses are allowed during passive
release. Otherwise, the arbiter only accepts another PCI master access to
local DRAM.
DELAYED TRANSACTION:
The chipset has an embedded 32-bit posted write buffer to support delay
transactions cycles. Select Enabled to support compliance with PCI
specification version 2.1.

Appendix C Trouble Shooting
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 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 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
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 reconfigure the memory configuration. In ISA
mode enter Setup and enter the new memory size in the memory fields.

PC-680 USER′S MANUAL
Page: C-3
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.
TROUBLE SHOOTING FOR POST CODES
When you power on your PC, and the screen display nothing. You have to
insert the POST Card for test. The address for ISA POST port is 80h. Make
sure the card is in correct slot. The lists below indicate you the error
messages. Please follow the instruction to adjust your system. If the error
still occurred, please contact with your distributor for maintenance.
