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.

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-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:

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.

You may choose to select to set either supervisor or user password, or both
of them. The differences is that the supervisor password can enter and
change options of the setup menus while user password can only enter setup
menu but does not have any rights to change any settings.

TO SET A PASSWORD

If you want to enable this item you should choose the〝PASSWORD
SETTING〞option from the main menu, the following message will appear
at the center of the screen to assist you in creating a password.

Enter Password:

Type the password up to eight characters, and press the < Enter > key. You
will be asked to confirm the password. Type the password again and
press < Enter >. You may also press < Esc > to abort the selection and not
enter a password.

To change the original password, enter CMOS setup Menu again, you will
be asked to enter the original password, then select 〝PASSWORD

password, then you may enter new password and re-type new password for

confirmation.

User should bear in mind that when a password is set, you will be ask



to enter the password whenever you enter CMOS setup Menu. This
can prevent an unauthorized person from changing any part of your
system configuration.

You may determine when the password is required within the BIOS
Features Setup Menu and its Security Option. If the Security Option is
set to “System”, the password will be required both at boot and at entry to
Setup. If set to “Setup”, prompting only occurs when trying to enter
Setup.

TROUBLE SHOOTING FOR ERROR MESSAGES

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
consists 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 CMOS battery is no longer functional. The user should replace it.

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 if 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, 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 < E nte r >. 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 TY PES M ISM ATCH ERROR - RUN SET UP :

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

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. Make sure to select the
right hard drive type in Setup.

ERROR INITIALIZING HARD DISK CONTROLLER :

Cannot initialize controller. Make sure the cord is correctly and firmly
installed in the bus. Make sure to select the right hard drive type in Setup.
Also check whether all of the jumpers are set correctly in the hard drive.

FLOPPY DISK CONTROLLER ERROR OR
NO CONTROLLER PRESENT :

Cannot find or initialize the floppy drive controller. Make sure the
controller is installed properly and firmly. If there are no floppy drives
installed, make sure 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 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.

MEMORY VERIFYING ERROR AT ... :

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 NOT FOUND :

This message is used in conjunction with the I/O CHANNEL CHECK
and RAM PARITY ERROR messages when the segment that has
caused the problem cannot be isolated.

OFFENDING SEGMENT :

This message is used in conjunction witht he I/O CHANNEL CHECK
and RAM PARITY ERROR messages when the segment that has caused
the problem has been isolated.

PRESS A KEY TO REBOOT :

This will be displayed at the bottom screen when an error occurs that
requires you to reboot. Press any key and the system will reboot.

PRESS F1 TO DISABLE NMI, F2 TO REBOOT :

When BIOS detects a Non-maskable Interrupt condition during boot,
this will allow you to disable the NMI and continue to boot, or you can
reboot the system with the NMI enabled.

RAM PARITY ERROR - CHECKING FOR SEGMENT ... :

Indicates a parity error in Random Access Memory.
