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 configuration 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 all through this manual. The fi gure 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-1670 Embedded Board 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:

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 determine 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 BI OS is the most frequent user of this
RAM area since this is where it shadows RAM.

Select Enabled allows caching of the video BIOS ROM at C0000hF7FFFh, resulting in better video performance. However, if any program
writes to this memory area, a system error may result.
VIDEO RAM CACHEABLE:
Select Enabled allows caching of the video RAM, resulting in better
system performance. However, if any program writes to this memory
area, a system error may result.
8 Bit I/O RECOVERY TIME:
The recovery time is the length of time, measured in CPU clocks, which
the system will delay after the completion of an input/output request.
This delay takes place because the CPU is operating so much faster than
the input/output bus that the CPU must be delayed to allow fro the
completion of the I/O. This item allows you to determine the recovery
time allowed for 8bit I/O.
16 Bit I/O RECOVERY TIME:

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 APERTURE SIZE (MB) :
The aperture is a portion of the PCI memory address range dedicated for
graphics memory address space. Host cycles that hit the aperture range
are forwarded to the AGP without any translation.
AUTO DETECT DIMM/PCI CLK :
To reduce the occurrence of electromagnetic interference (EMI), the
BIOS detect the presence or absence of components in DIMM and PCI
slots and turns off system clock generator pulses to empty slots.
SPREAD SPECTRUM :
When the system clock generator pulses, the extreme values of the pulse
generate excess EMI. Enabling pulse spectrum spread modulation
changes the extreme values from spikes to flat curves, thus reducing
EMI. This benefit may in some cases be outweighed by problems with
timing-critical devices such as a clock-sensitive SCSI device.
CPU WARNING TEMPERATURE :
Select the combination of lower and upper limits for the CPU
temperature. If the CPU temperature extends beyond either limit, any
warning mechanism programmed into your system will be activated.
