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
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 “Reset/NMI/Clear Watchdog” as described 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, 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-3680 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, 0443H
OUT DX, AX

Watchdog disable program:

MOV AX, 000FH (this value can be ignored)
MOV DX, 0441H
OUT DX, AX
The Watchdog Timer control table is as follows:

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-3680 Mainboard 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:

SDRAM CAS LATENCY TIME:

When synchronous DRAM is installed, the number of clock cycles of CAS
latency depends on the DRAM timing.

SDRAM CYCLE TIME TRAS/TRC:

This item set the number of SCLKs for an access cycle.

SDRAM RAS-TO-CAS DELAY:

This item let you insert a timing delay between the CAS and RAS strobe
signals, used when DRAM is written to, read from, or refreshed. Fast
gives faster performance; and Slow gives more stable performance. This
field applies only when synchronous DRAM is installed in the system.

SDRAM RAS PRECHARGE TIME:

If an insufficient number of cycles is allowed for the RAS to accumulate its
charge before DRAM refresh, the refresh may be incomplete and the DRAM
may fail to retain data. Fast gives faster performance; and Slow gives more
stable performance. This field applies only when synchronous DRAM is
installed in the system.

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 BIOS CACHEABLE:

This item allows you to enable caching of the video BIOS, resulting in better
system performance. However, if any program writes to this memory area,
a system error may result.

MEMORY HOLE AT 15M-16M:

You may reserve this area of system memory for ISA adapter ROM. When
this area is reserved, it cannot be cached. The user information of
peripherals that need to use this area of system memory usually discusses
their memory requirements.

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.

SHOOTING

This section outlines the error messages that may occur when you
operate the system. It also gives you the suggestions on solving the
problems.

Section includes:

z Trouble Shooting for Error Messages

z Trouble Shooting for POST Code

Page: B-1

Appendix B Trouble Shooting

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.

Page: B-2

Prox-3680 USER

S MANUAL

Appendix B Trouble Shooting

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.

Prox-3680 USER′S MANUAL

Page: B-3

Appendix B Trouble Shooting

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.

S MANUAL

Appendix B Trouble Shooting

MEMORY VERIFY ERROR AT ... :

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 with the 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.

Should be Empty But EISA Board Found
PLEASE RUN EISA CONFIGURATION UTILITY :

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.
Note: When this error appears, the system will boot in ISA mode, which
allows you to run the EISA Configuration Utility.
