2-3. HOW TO SET THE JUMPERS

You can configure your board by setting jumpers. Jumper is consist s 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 "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 a ll through this manual. The figure below shows what the manual
diagrams look and what they represent.

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 port
enable the watchdog timer, please write I/O port
will either reset itself or perform the NMI function. Likewise, when you
want to disable the function, write I/O port
command to stop the Watchdog function.

In Prox-1695 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.

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-1695 Socket 370 Embedded 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:

EDO DRAM SPEED SELECTION:

The DRAM timing is controlled by the DRAM Timing Registers. The
timings programmed into this register are dependent on the system design.
Slower rates may be required in certain system designs to support loose
layouts or slower memory. The choices are 50ns, and 60ns.

EDO CASx# MA WAIT STATE:

You can select the timing control type of EDO DRAM CAS MA. (memory
address bus). The choices are 1 and 2.

EDO RASx# WAIT STATE:

You can select the timing control type of EDO DRAM RAS MA (memory
address bus). The choices are 1 and 2.

SDRAM RAS-to-CAS DELAY:

You can select RAS to CAS Delay time in HCLKs of 2/2 or 3/3. The system
board designer should set the values in this field, depending on the DRAM
installed. Do not change the values in this field unless you change
specifications of the installed DRAM or the installed CPU.
The choices are 2 and 3.

SDRAM RAS PRECHARGE TIME:

Defines the length of time for Row Address Strobe is allowed to precharge.

SDRAM CAS LATENCY TIME:

You can select CAS latency time in HCLKs of 2/2 or 3/3. The system board
designer should set the values in this field, depending on the DRAM
installed. Do not change the values in this filed unless you change
specifications of the installed DRAM or the installed CPU.

SDRAM PRECHARGE CONTROL:

SYSTEM BIOS CACHEABLE :

Select Enabled allows caching of the system BIOS ROM at F000h-FFFFFh,
resulting in better system performance. However, if any program wr ites to
this memory area, a system error may result.

VIDEO BIOS CACHEABLE:

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 for 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:

This item allows you to determine the recovery time allowed for 16bit I/O.
Choices from NA, 1 to 4 CPU clocks.

The four IDE PIO (Programmed Input/Output) fields let you set a PIO
mode (0-4) for each of the four IDE devices that the onboard IDE
interface supports. Mode 0 through 4 provide successively increased
performance. In Auto mode, the system automatically determines the
best mode for each device.

IDE PRIMARY/SECONDARY MASTER/SLAVE UDMA:

Ultra DMA-33 implementation is possible only if your IDE hard drive
supports it and the operating environment includes a DMA driver
(Windows 95 OSR2 or a third-party IDE bus master driver). If your hard
drive and your system software both support Ultra DMA/33, select Auto to
enable BIOS support.

ON-CHIP PRIMARY/SECONDARY PCI IDE:

The integrated peripheral controller contains an IDE interface with support
for two IDE channels. Select Enabled to activate each channel separately.

ONBOARD PCI SCSI CHIP:

Select Enabled if your system contains a PCI SCSI chip and yo u have a
PCI SCSI card.

USB KEYBOARD SUPPORT:

Select Enabled if your system contains a Universal Serial Bus (USB)
controller and you have a USB keyboard.

INIT DISPLAY FIRST:

This item allows you to decide to active whether PCI Slot or on-chip VGA
first.

ONBOARD FDC CONTROLLER:

This should be enabled if your system has a floppy disk drive (FDD)
installed on the system board and you wish to use it. Even when so
equipped, if you add a higher performance controller, you will need to
disable this feature.

ONBOARD SERIAL PORT 1/PORT 2:

This item allows you to determine access onboard serial port 1 or port 2
controller with which I/O address.

Appendix C Trouble Shooting

TROUBLE SHOOTING FOR ERROR MESSAGES

The following information informs 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 kinds 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 the CMOS battery is out of work or has run out, the user has to
replace the whole unit.

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 when 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:

When you can‘t find the boot device, insert a system disk into Drive A and
press < Enter >. Make sure both the controller and cables are all in proper
positions, also make sure the disk is formatted correct device. Then reboot
the system.

DISKETTE DRIVES OR TYPES MISMATCH ERROR :

When the diskette drive type is different from CMOS, please run setup or
configure the drive again.

ERROR ENCOUNTERED INITIALIZING HARD DRIVE :

When you can‘t initialize the hard drive. Assure 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 :

When this error occurs. Be sure the cord is exactly installed in the bus.
Make sure the correct hard drive type is selected in Setup. Also check
whether all of the jumpers are set correctly in the hard drive.

FLOPPY DISK CONTROLLER ERROR OR
NO CONTROLLER PRESENT :

When you cannot find or initialize the floppy drive controller, please check
the controller whether in proper Setup. If there are no floppy drive installed,
Ensure 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 :

When the memory address indicates error. 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 :

Memory has been added or removed since the last boot. In EISA mode use
Configuration Utility to re-configure the memory configuration. In ISA
mode enter Setup and enter the new memory size in the memory fields.

MEMORY VERIFYING ERROR :

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 MISSING :

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

REBOOT ERROR :

When this error occurs that requires you to reboot.. Press any key and the
system will reboot.

SYSTEM HALTED :

Indicates the present boot attempt has been aborted and the system must be
rebooted. Press and hold down the CTRL and ALT keys and press DEL.
