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 like.
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.

5-1. INTRODUCTION
This chapter will show you the function of the BIOS in managing the features
of your system. The Prox-1660 Socket 370 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 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:

BASE MEMORY :
The POST will determine the amount of base (or conventional) memory
installed in the system. The value of the base memory is typically 512K
for systems with 512K memory installed on the motherboard, or 640K for
systems with 640K or more memory installed on the motherboard.
EXTENDED MEMORY :
The BIOS determines how much extended memory is present during the
POST. This is the amount of memory located above 1MB in the CPU’s
memor y address map.
OTHER MEMORY :
This refers to the memory located in the 640K to 1024K address space.
This is memory that can be used for different applications. DOS uses this
area to load device drivers in an effort to keep as much base memory free
for application programs. The BIOS is the most frequent user of this RAM
area since this is where it shadows RAM.

IDE PRIMARY MASTER/SLAVE PIO:
The four IDE PIO fields allow you to set a PIO mode (0-4) for each of the four
IDE devices that the onboard IDE interface supports. Modes 0 through 4
provide successively increased performance. In Auto mode, the system
automatically determines the best mode for each device.
IDE PRIMARY MASTER/SLAVE UDMA:
UDMA, also known as Ultra DMA, is a DMA data transfer protocol that
utilizes ATA commands and the ATA bus to allow DMA commands to
transfer data at a maximum burst rate of 33 MB/s. When you select Auto in the
four IDE UDMA fields, the system automatically determines the optimal data
transfer rate for each IDE device.
ON-CHIP PRIMARY PCI IDE:
The Integrated peripheral controller contains an IDE interface with support for
two IDE channels. Select Enabled to activate each channel separately.
USB KEYBOARD SUPPORT:
Select Enabled if you have a USB Keyboard.
INIT DISPLAY FIRST:
Initialize the AGP video display before initializing any other display device on
the system. Thus the AGP display becomes the primary display.
ONBOARD FDC CONTROLLER:
Select Enabled unless you installed an add-in FDC.
ONBOARD SERIAL PORT 1/PORT 2:
Select a logical COM port name and matching address for the first and second
serial ports. Select an address and corresponding interrupt for the first and
second serial ports.
ONBOARD PARALLEL PORT:
Select a logical LPT port address and corresponding interrupt for the physical
parallel port.
PARALLEL PORT MODE:
Select an operating mode for the onboard parallel (printer) port. Select Normal,
Compatible, or SPP unless you are certain your hardware and software both
support one of the other available modes.
