2-3 HOW TO SET THE JUMPERS

You can configure your board by setting the jumpers. A jumper may consists
of two or more 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 “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 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 a ll through this manual. The figure below shows what the manual
diagram looks like and what they represent.

Chapter 4 Award BIOS Setup

4-1. INTRODUCTION

This chapter will show you the function of the BIOS in managing the features
of your system. The Prox-1330 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 op erating system.

The following diagram illustrates the interlocking relationships between the
system hardware, BIOS, operating system, and application program:

This category determines if the typematic rate is to be used. When disabled,
continually holding down a key on your keyboard will generate only one
instance. In other words, the BIOS will only report that the key is down.
When typematic rate is enabled, the BIOS will report as before, but it will then
wait a moment, and, if the key is still down, it will begin the report that the key
has been depressed repeatedly. For example, if you press and hold down the
"A" key, the letter "a" will repeatedly appear on your screen on your screen
until you release the key.

TYPEMATIC RATE (CHARS-SEC):

When enabled, this selection allows you to select the rate at which the keys are
accelerated.

TYPEMATIC DELAY (MSEC):

When enabled, this selection allows you to select the delay between when the
key was first depressed and when the acceleration begins.

SECURITY OPTION:

This category allows you to limit access to the system and Setup, or just to
Setup.

System The system will not boot and access to Setup will be

denied if the correct password is not entered at the
prompt.

Setup The system will boot, but access to Setup will be

denied if the correct password is not entered at the
prompt.

 To disable security, select PASSWORD SETTING at Main Menu and then
you will be asked to enter password. Do not type anything and just press
<Enter>, it will disable security. Once the security is disabled, the system will
boot and you can enter Setup freely.

Page: C-1

Appendix C Trouble Shooting

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 still encountered, please contact with your distributor for
maintenance.

POST BEEP :

Currently there are two kind of beep codes in BIOS. The one code in-dicates
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.

Page: C-2

Prox-1330 USER‘S MANUAL

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 re-configure the memory configuration. In ISA mode
enter Setup and enter the new memory size in the memory fields.

Prox-1330 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.
