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 figure below shows what the manual
diagram looks like and what they represent.

3-6. 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 “Reset/NMI/Clear Watchdog Selection” found 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-1675 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

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-1675 Socket 370 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:

Setup.

System The system will not boot and access to Setup will be

denied if the correct password is not entered at the
prompt.

Setup The system will boot, but access to Setup will be

denied if the correct password is not entered at the
prompt.

 To disable security, select PASSWORD SETTING at Main Menu and

then you will be asked to enter password. Do not type anything and just

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.

DRAM CLOCK:

This item allows you to control the DRAM speed.

SDRAM CYCLE LENGTH:

When synchronous DRAM is installed, the number of clock cycles of CAS
latency depends on the DRAM timing. Do not reset this field from the
default value specified by the system designer.

MEMORY HOLE:

In order to improve performance, certain space in memory is reserved for ISA
cards. This memory must be mapped into the memory space below 16MB.

P2C/C2P CONCURRENCY:

This item allows you to enable/disable the PCI to CPU, CPU to PCI
concurrency.

FAST R-W TURN AROUND:

This item controls the DRAM timing. It allows you to enable/disable the fast
read/write turn around.

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 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.

CPU TO PCI WRITE BUFFER:

When this field is Enabled, writes from the CPU to the PCI bus are buffered,
to compensate for the speed differences between the CPU and the PCI bus.
When Disabled, the writes are not buffered and the CPU must wait until the
write is complete before starting another write cycle.

S MANUAL

PCI DYNAMIC BURSTING:

When Enabled, every write transaction goes to the write buffer. Burstable
transactions then burst on the PCI bus and non-burstable transaction don’t.

PCI MASTER 0 WS WRITE:

When Enabled, writes to the PCI bus are executed with zero wait states.

PCI DELAY 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.

PCI#2 ACCESS #1 RETRY:

When disabled, PCI#2 will not be disconnected until access finishes. When
Enabled, PCI#2 will be disconnected if max retries are attempted without
success.

AGP MASTER 1 WS WRITE:

When Enabled, writes to the AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) are executed
with one wait state.

AGP MASTER 1 WS READ:

When Enabled, read to the AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) are executed
with one wait state.
