1-4. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Following messages are safety reminders on how to protect your systems from
damages. And thus, helps you lengthen the life cycle of the system.

1. Check the Line Voltage

a. The operating voltage for the power supply should cover the range of

100VAC-240VAC, otherwise the system may be damaged.

2. Environmental Conditions

a. Place your PS3100 on a sturdy, level surface. Be sure to allow enough

room on each side to have easy access.

b. Avoid extremely hot or cold places to install your PS3100 Book-sized

PC.

c. Avoid exposure to sunlight for a long period of time (for example in a

closed car in summer time. Also avoid the system from any heating
device.). Or do not use PS3100 when it‘s been left outdoors in a cold
winter day.

d. Bear in mind that the operating ambient temperature is from 0°C up to

+35°C.

e. Avoid moving the system rapidly from a hot place to a cold place or vice

versa because condensation may come from inside of the system.

f. Place PS3100 against strong vibrations, which may cause hard disk

failure.

g. Do not place the system too close to any radio active device. Radio-

active device may cause interference.

h. Always shutdown the operation system before turning off the power.

3. Handling

a. Avoid putting heavy objects on top of the system.
b. The power of COM1 and COM1_1 are co-layout. While using COM1_1

for embedded thermal printer, please be sure COM1 is set at RI mode.
Moreover, COM1 and COM1_1 can not be used simultaneously.

c. If the system isn’t full system in DOS mode, please adjust BIOS setting

as following instruction.

Advanced Chipset Feature => Boot display => choose “LFP”

4. Good Care

a. When the outside of the case is stained, remove the stain with neutral

washing agent with a dry cloth.

b. Never use strong agents such as benzene and thinner to clean the system.

Chapter 1 Introduction

PS3100 SERIES USER′S MANUAL

Page: 1-11

c. If heavy stains are present, moisten a cloth with diluted neutral washing

agent or with alcohol and then wipe thoroughly with a dry cloth.

d. If dust has been accumulated on the outside, remove it by using a special

made vacuum cleaner for computers.

e. Please don't contact the surface of capacitive touch before entering your

operation system, or capacitive touch may have position problem for
electrostatics interference.

’S MANUAL

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.

4-1. INTRODUCTION

This chapter will show you the function of the BIOS in managing the
features of your system. The PS-3100LF is equipped with the BIOS for
system chipset from Phoenix -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:

IDE CHANNEL 0/2/3 Master:
IDE CHANNEL 0/2/3 Slave:

The BIOS can automatically detect the specifications and optimal operating
mode of almost all SATA hard drives. When you select type AUTO for a
hard drive, the BIOS detect its specifications during POST, every time system
boots.

If you do not want to select drive type AUTO, other methods of selecting
drive type are available:

1. Match the specifications of your installed SATA hard drive(s) with

the preprogrammed values for hard drive types 1 through 45.

2. Select USER and enter values into each drive parameter field.

3. Use the SATA HDD AUTO DETECTION function in Setup.

Here is a brief explanation of drive specifications:

Type: The BIOS contains a table of pre-defined drive types. Each
defined drive type has a specified number of cylinders, number of heads,
write precompensation factor, landing zone, and number of sectors.
Drives whose specifications do not accommodate any predefine type are
classified as type USER.

• Size: Disk drive capacity (approximate). Note that this size is usually

greater than the size of a formatted disk given by a disk-checking
program.

• Cyls: number of cylinders.

• Head: number of heads.

• Precomp: write precompensation cylinders.

• Landz: landing zone.

• Sector: number of sectors.

• Mode: Auto, Normal, Large or LBA.

Auto: The BIOS automatically determines the optimal mode.

 Normal: Maximum number of cylinders, heads, sectors

supported are 1024, 16 and 63.

 Large: For drives that do not support LBA and have more

than 1024 cylinders.

S MANUAL

 LBA (Logical Block Addressing): During drive accesses, the

SATA controller transforms the data address described by
sector, head and cylinder number into a physical block
address, significantly improving data transfer rates. For
drives greater than 1024 cylinders.

VIDEO:

This category selects the type of video adapter used for the primary system
monitor. Although secondary monitors are supported, you do not have to

Chipset Features Setup Screen

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
using your system.

DRAM TIMEING SELECTABLE:

The value in this field depends on performance parameters of the installed
memory chips (DRAM). Do not change the value from the factory setting
unless you install new memory that has a different performance rating than
the original DRAMs.

CAS LATENCY TIME:

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

DRAM 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.
The choices are 2 and 3.

DRAM 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. The choices are 2 & 3.

PRECHARGE DEALY (tRAS):

Precharge Delay This setting controls the precharge delay, which
determines the timing delay for DRAM precharge

SYSTEM MEMORY FREQUENCY:

Allow to choose different frequency of memory module.

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.
