2-3. HOW TO SET THE JUMPERS
You can configure your board by setting the 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
configuratio n by "opening" or "closing" 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 l ike.
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 appli ed all through this manua l. The figure below shows what the manual
diagram looks like and what they represent.

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 “Reset/NMI/Clear Watchdog Selection” as described 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, 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-1650 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, 0443H
OUT DX, AX
Watchdog disable program:

Chapter 5 Award BIOS Setup
5-1. INTRODUCTION
This chapter will show you the function of the BIOS in managing the features
of your system. The Prox-1650 Socket 370 Mainboard 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:

SHOOTING
This section outlines the error messages that may occur when you
operate the system. It also gives you the suggestions on solving the
problems.
Section includes:
z Trouble Shooting for Error Messages
z Trouble Shooting for POST Code
Page: C-1
Page 98
Appendix C Trouble Shooting
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 C 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.

Appendix C Trouble Shooting
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.
