2-3. HOW TO SET THE JUMPERS

You can configure your board by setting 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 "open" or "close" 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 examples, 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 diagrams look 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 chapter 2. This is defined at I/O por t 443H. W hen 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-1680 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 4 Award BIOS Setup

4-1. INTRODUCTION

This chapter will show you the function of the BIOS in managing the
features of your system. The Prox-1680 Dual Socket 370 Full-sized CPU
Card 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:

A brief introduction of each setting is given below.

VIRUS WARNING :

This item allows you to choose the Virus Warning feature for IDE Hard
Disk boot sector protection. If this function is enabled and someone
attempt to write data into this area, BIOS will show a warning message on
screen and alarm beep.

CPU INTERNAL CACHE:
EXTERNAL CACHE:

These two categories speed up memory access. However, it depends on
CPU/chipset design.

CPU L2 CACHE ECC CHECKING:

When you select Enabled, memory checking is enable when the external
Cache contains ECC SRAMs.

PROCESSOR NUMBER FEATURE:

This option is for Pentium® III processor only. During Enabled, this will
check the CPU Serial number. Disabled this option if you don’t want the
system to know the Serial number.

QUICK POWER ON SELF-TEST:

This item allows you to speed up Power On Self Test (POST) after power-up
the computer. When enabled, the BIOS will shorten or skip some check items
during POST.

FIRST/SECOND/THIRD/OTHER BOOT DEVICE:

The BIOS attempt to load the operating system from the devices in the
sequence selected in these items.

SWAP FLOOPY DRIVE:

This field is effective only in systems with two floppy drives. Selecting
Enabled assigns physical drive B to logical drive A, and physical drive A to
logical drive B.

BOOT UP FLOPPY SEEK:

You may enable / disable this item to define whether the system will look for
a floppy disk drive to boot at power-on, or proceed directly to the hard disk
drive.

was set, a pin in the keyboard controller controls Gate A20. And when Fast
was set, the chipset controls Gate A20.

TYPEMATIC RATE SETTING:

Enable this item if you wish to be able to configure the characteristics of
your keyboard. Typematic refers to the way in which characters are entered
repeatedly if a key is held down. For example, if you press and hold down
the "A" key, the letter "a" will repeatedly appear on your screen on your
screen until you release the key. When enabled, the typematic rate and
typematic delay can be selected.

TYPEMATIC RATE (CHARS/SEC):

This item sets the number of times a second to repeat a key stroke when you
hold the key down.

TYPEMATIC DELAY (MSEC):

The item sets the delay time after the key is held down before it begins to
repeat the keystroke.

SECURITY OPTION:

This category allows you to limit access to the system and Setup, or just to
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
press <Enter>, it will disable security. Once the security is disabled, the

This parameter allows you to configure the system based on the specific
features of the installed chipset. The chipset manages bus speed and
access to system memory resources, such as DRAM and the external cache.

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

is ready to respond to the request, it interrupts itself and performs the
service.

When set On, activity will neither prevent the system from going into a

power management mode nor awaken it.

PNP/PCI Configuration Setup Screen

The PNP/PCI Configuration Setup describes how to configure PCI bus system.
PCI, also known as Personal Computer Interconnect, is a system, which
allows I/O devices to operate at speeds nearing the speed of the CPU itself
uses when communicating with its own special components.

This section covers technical items, which is strongly recommended for
experienced users only.

absolutely nothing unless you are using a Plug and Play operating system
such as Windows 95. By choosing “manual”, you are allowed to

configure the IRQ Resources and DMA Resources.

IRQ RESOURCES:

You may assign each system interrupt a type, depending on the type of
device using the interrupt.

DMA RESOURCES:

When resources are controlled manually, assign each system DMA channel
a type, depending on the type of device using the DMA channel.

AUTO DETECT DIMM/PCI CLK:

When enabled, this item will auto detect if the DIMM and PCI socket have
devices and will send clock signal to DIMM and PCI devices. When
disabled, it will send the clock signal to all DIMM and PCI socket.

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 timing­critical devices such as a clock-sensitive SCSI device.

CPU HOST / PCI CLOCK:

Select Default or select a timing combination for the CPU and the PCI bus.
When set to Default, the BIOS uses the actual CPU and PCI bus clock
values.

CPU RATIO:

This item allows you to set up the CPU clock ratio, but this function depends
on different CPU performance. It is only effective for those clock ratio
haven’t been locked.

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.

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.

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.

A valid board ID was found in a slot that was configured as having no
board ID.
Note: When this error appears, the system will boot in ISA mode, which
allows you to run the EISA Configuration Utility.

Should Have EISA Board But Not Found
PLEASE RUN EISA CONFIGURATION UTILITY :

The board installed is not responding to the ID request, or no board ID has
been found in the indicated slot.
