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

115VAC-230VAC, otherwise the system may be damaged.

2. Environmental Conditions

a. Place your PS-8931 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 PS-8931 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 PS-8931 when it‘s been left outdoors in a cold

Chapter 1 Introduction

PS-8931 USER′S MANUAL

Page: 1-7

winter day.

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

+40°C (32°F~104°F).

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 PS-8931 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.

3. Handling

a. Avoid putting heavy objects on top of the system.
b. Do not turn the system upside down. This may cause the floppy drive

and hard drive to mal-function.

c. Do not remove the diskette from the Floppy drive while the light is still

on. If you remove the diskette while the light is on, you may damage

the information on the diskette.
d. Do not allow foreign objects to fall into this product.
e. If water or other liquid spills into this product, unplug the power cord

immediately.

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.
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.

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.

4-1. INTRODUCTION

This chapter will show you the function of the BIOS in managing the
features of your system. The PS-8931 Book Size PC 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:

IDE Channel 0/1/2/3 Master:
IDE Channel 0/1/ Slave:

The BIOS can automatically detect the specifications and optimal operating
mode of almost all IDE 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 IDE 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 IDE 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.

Chapter 4 Award BIOS Setup

Page: 4-6

PS-8931 User’s Manual

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

IDE 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.

DRIVE A: None

Not to support Legacy Floppy.

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
select the type in Setup. Available Options are as follows:

EGA/VGA Enhanced Graphics Adapter/Video Graphics Array.

For EGA, VGA, SEGA, SVGA or PGA monitor

adapters.
CGA 40 Color Graphics Adapter, power up in 40 column mode.
CGA 80 Color Graphics Adapter, power up in 80 column mode.
MONO Monochrome adapter, includes high resolution

monochrome adapters.

HALT ON:

This category allows user to choose whether the computer will stop if an error
is detected during power up. Available options are “All errors”, “No errors”,
“All, But keyboard”, “All, But Diskette”, and “All But Disk/Key”.

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.

AUTO DETECT PCI CLK:

This item allows you to enable or disable auto detect PCI Clock.

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.

have the authority to change the options of the setup menus.

TO SET A PASSWORD

When you select this function, the following message will appear at the
center of the screen to assist you in creating a password.

Enter Password:

Type the password up to eight characters in length, and press < Enter >.
The password typed now will clear any previously entered password from
CMOS memory. You will be asked to confirm the password. Type the
password again and press the < Enter > key. You may also press < Esc >
to abort the selection and not enter a password.

 User should bear in mind that when a password is set, you will be

asked to enter the password everything you enter CMOS setup Menu.

TO DISABLE THE PASSWORD

To disable the password, select this function (do not enter any key when
you are prompt to enter a password), and press the <Enter> key and a
message will appear at the center of the screen:

PASSWORD DISABLED!!!

Press any key to continue...

Press the < Enter > key again and the password will be disabled. Once the
password is disabled, you can enter Setup freely.
