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 se t up your hardware configuration by “opening” or
“closing” the pi ns.
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 c onfiguration. 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 belo w shows what
the manual diagram looks like and what they represent.

5-1. INTRODUCTION
This chapter will show you the function of BIOS in managing the features of
your system. The Prox-1550 P5/6x86 Embedded Card is equipped with the
BIOS for system chipset from Award Software Inc. This page briefly
explains the function of 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 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:

system such as Win 95. The available choices are Auto and Manual.
RESET CONFIGURATION DATA:
Normally, set this field to Disable. Select Enabled to reset Extended System
Configuration Data (ESCD) when you exit Setup if you have installed a new
add-on and the system reconfiguration has caused such a serious conflict
that the operating system cannot boot.
PCI IDE 2ND CHANNEL:
Select Disabled to deactivate the onboard PCI IDE second channel interface,
if you install a secondary add-in IDE interface.
PCI IRQ ACTIVATED BY:
This sets the method by which the PCI bus recognizes that an IRQ service is
being requested by a device. Under all circumstances, you should retain the
default configuration unless advised otherwise by your system’s
manufacturer.
PCI IDE IRQ MAP TO:
This allows you to configure your system to the type of IDE disk controller
in use. By default, Setup assumes that your controller is an ISA (Industry
Standard Architecture) device rather than a PCI controller. The more
apparent difference is the type of slot being used.
If you have equipp ed your system with a PCI controller, changing this
allows you to specify which slot has the controller and which PCI interrupt
(A, B, C or D) is associated with the connected hard drives.
Remember that this setting refers to the hard disk drive itself, rather than
individual partitions. Since each IDE controller supports two separate hard
drives, you can select INT# for each. Again, you will note that the primary
has a lower interrupt than the secondary as described in “Slot x Using INT#”
above.
Selecting “PCI Auto” allows the system to automatically determine how
your IDE disk system is configured.
