2-3 HOW TO SET THE JUMPERS
You can configure your board by setting the jumpers. A jumper is consists
of two or three metal pins with a plastic base mounted on the card. By
using a small plastic “cap” (with a metal contact inside), you may 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 the 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. Or you
may also connect PIN2 & PIN3 to create another setting. The same jumper
diagrams are applied all 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-1510 NS-Geode CPU 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:

GATE 20A OPTION:
This entry allows you to select how the gate A20 is handled. The gate A20
is a device used to address memory above 1Mbytes. Initially, the gate A20
was handled via a pin on the keyboard. Today, while keybo ards still provide
this support, it is more common and much faster for the system chipset to
provide support for gate A20.
MEMORY PARITY CHECK:
This entry allows to detect the memory parity.
TYPEMATIC RATE SETTING:
Enabled this item if you wish to be able to configure the characteristics of
your keyboard. “Typematic” refers to the way in which characters are entered
repeatedly if a key is held down. For example, if you press and hold down the
"A" key, the letter "a" will repeatedly appear on your screen until you release
the key.
TYPEMATIC RATE (CHARS-SEC):
You can use this item to define the typematic rate delay of your keyboard, i.e.
the rate at which characters will be repeated when a key held down.
TYPEMATIC DELAY (MSEC):
You can use this item to define the period after which the typematic function
become active i.e. how long after you press a key the characters will be
repeated.
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.

16-BIT I/O RECOVERY (CLK):
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 because the CPU is operating so much faster than the input/output
bus that the CPU must be delayed to allow for the completion of the I/O. This
item allows you to determine the recovery time allowed for 16bit I/O.
8-BIT I/O RECOVERY (CLK):
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 because the CPU is operating so much faster than the input/output
bus that the CPU must be delayed to allow for the completion of the I/O. This

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 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 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.

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.
