2-3. HOW TO SET THE JUMPERS

You can configure your board by setting 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 "open" or "close" 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 examples, 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 figure below shows what the manual
diagrams look and what they represent.

3-7. WATCHDOG TIMER CONFIGURATION

This board has watchdog timer function for monitoring whether the system
is still work or not after a period of time. The user can select watchdog
timer to system reset or NMI (Non Maskable interrupt) depending on the
jumper set in chapter 2. This is defined at I/O port 443H. When you want to
enable the watchdog timer, please write I/O port 443H, and then the system
will either reset itself or perform the NMI function. Likewise, when you
want to disable the function, write I/O port 441H, the system will run the
command to stop the Watchdog function.

In Prox-1640 watchdog function, you must write your program so when it
writes I/O port address 443 for enable watchdog and write I/O port address
441 for disable watchdog. The timer's intervals have a tolerance of 25% so
you should program an instruction that will refresh the timer about every
second.

The following program shows you how to program the watch timer in your
program.

Watchdog enable program:

MOV AX, 000FH (choose the values you need; start from 0)

MOV DX, 443H

OUT DX, AX

Watchdog disable program:

MOV AX, 000FH (this value can be ignored)
MOV DX, 441H
OUT DX, AX

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-1640 Socket 370 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:

Chapter 4 Award BIOS Setup

This parameter allows you to configure the system based on the specific
features of the installed chipset. The chipset manages bus speed and
access to system memory resources, such as DRAM and the external cache.

It also coordinates communications between conventional ISA bus and the
PCI bus. It must be stated that these items should never need to be altered.
The default settings have been chosen because they provide the best opera­ting conditions for the system. The only time you might consider making
any changes would be if you discovered that data was being lost while
using your system.

SDRAM CAS LATENCY TIME:

You can select CAS latency 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 filed unless you change
specifications of the installed DRAM or the installed CPU.

SDRAM CYCLE TIME TRAS/TRC:

This item set the number of SCLKs for an access cycle.

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.

SYSTEM BIOS CACHEABLE:

This item allows you to enable caching of the system BIOS ROM at F0000h­FFFFFh, resulting in better system performance. However, if any program
writes to this memory area, a system error may result.

VIDEO BIOS CACHEABLE:

Select Enabled allows caching of the video BIOS ROM at C0000h-F7FFFh,
resulting in better video performance. However, if any program writes to this
memory area, a system error may result.

S MANUAL

MEMORY HOLE AT 15M-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.

CPU LATENCY TIMER:

When enabled this item, the CPU cycle will only be deferred after it has been
held in a “Snoop Stall” for 31 clocks and another ADS# has arrived. When
disabled, the CPU cycle will be deferred immediately after the GMCH
receives another ADS#.

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.

AGP GRAPHIC APERTURE SIZE:

This field determines the effective size of the Graphic Aperture used for a
particular GMCH configuration. It can be updated by the GMCH-specific
BIOS configuration sequence before the PCI standard bus enumeration
sequence takes place. If it is not updated then a default value will select an
aperture of maximum size.

DISPLAY CACHE FREQUENCY:

You can use this item to select the frequency of the display cache.

POWER SUPPLY TYPE:

This allows you to select the power supply type.

ON-CHIP VIDEO WINDOW SIZE:

Select the on-chip video window size for VGA drive use.

RESOURCE CONTROLLED BY:

The Award Plug and Play Bios can automatically configure all of the booth
and Plug and Play-compatible devices. However, this capability means
absolutely nothing unless you are using a Plug and Play operating system
such as Windows 95. By choosing “manual”, you are allowed to
configure the IRQ Resources, DMA Resources and Memory Resources.
The choices are Auto (ESCD) and Manual.

IRQ RESOURCES:

You may assign each system interrupt a type, depending on the type of
device using the interrupt.

DMA RESOURCES:

When resources are controlled manually, assign each system DMA channel
a type, depending on the type of device using the DM channel.

PCI/VGA PALETTE SNOOP:

Leave this field at disabled.

TROUBLE SHOOTING FOR ERROR MESSAGES

The following information gives you the error messages and the trouble­shooting. 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 kinds of beep codes in BIOS. 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 two short beeps. The other code indicates that
your DRAM error has occurred. This beep code consists of a single long
beep repeatedly.

CMOS BATTERY HAS FAILED :

This message informs you that the CMOS battery is no longer functional.
The user should replace it.

CMOS CHECKSUM ERROR :

This message informs you that the CMOS is incorrect. This error may
have caused by a weak battery. Check the battery and replace if necessary.

DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER :

No boot device was found. This could mean that either a boot drive was
not detected or the drive does not contain proper system boot files. Insert a
system disk into Drive A: and press < Enter >. If you assumed the system
would boot from the hard drive, make sure the controller is inserted
correctly and all cables are properly attached. Also make sure the disk is
formatted as a boot device. Then reboot the system.

DISKETTE DRIVES OR TYPES MISMATCH ERROR - RUN SETUP :

Type of diskette drive installed in the system is different from the CMOS
definition. Run Setup to reconfigure the drive type correctly.

Appendix D Trouble Shooting

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.

DISPLAY TYPE HAS CHANGED SINCE LAST BOOT :

Since last powering off the system, the display adapter has been changed.
You must configure the system for the new display type.

EISA CONFIGURATION CHECKSUM ERROR
PLEASE RUN EISA CONFIGURATION UTILITY :

The EISA non-violatile RAM checksum is incorrect or cannot correctly
read the EISA slot. This can indicate either the EISA non-volatile
memory has become corrupt or the slot has been configured incorrectly.
Also be sure the card is installed firmly in the slot.

EISA CONFIGURATION IS NOT COMPLETE
PLEASE RUN EISA CONFIGURATION UTILITY :

The slot configure information stored in the EISA non-volatile memory is
incomplete.
Note: When either of these errors appear, the system will boot in ISA mode,
which allows you to run the EISA Configuration Utility.

ERROR ENCOUNTERED INITIALIZING HARD DRIVE :

Hard drive cannot be initialized. Be sure 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 :

Cannot initialize controller. Make sure the cord is correctly and firmly
installed in the bus. Be sure the correct hard drive is selected in Setup. Also
check to see if any jumper needs to be set correctly on the hard drive.

FLOPPY DISK CNTRLR ERROR OR NO CNTRLR PRESENT :

Cannot find or initialize the floppy drive controller. Make sure the
controller is installed correctly and firmly. If there are no floppy drives
installed, be sure the Diskette Drive selection in Setup is set to NONE.

INVALID EISA CONFIGURATION
PLEASE RUN EISA CONFIGURATION UTILITY

:

The non-volatile memory containing EISA configuration information was
programmed incorrectly or has become corrupt. Re-run EISA configuration
utility to correctly program the memory.
Note: When this error appears, the system will boot in ISA mode, which
allows you to run the EISA Configuration Utility.

KEYBOARD ERROR OR NO KEYBOARD PRESENT

:

Cannot initialize the keyboard. Make sure that the keyboard is properly
attached 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 AT ... :

Indicates a memory address error at a specific location. You can use this
location along with the memory map for your system to find and replace the
bad memory chips.

MEMORY PARITY ERROR AT ... :

Indicates a memory parity error at a specific location. 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 SINCE LAST BOOT :

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.
