SA-5897 USER′S MANUAL
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 by 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.

SA-5897 USER′S MANUAL
4-1. INTRODUCTION
The system SA-5897 uses an AMI Aptio BIOS that is stored in the Serial Peripheral
Interface Flash Memory (SPI Flash) and can be updated. The SPI Flash contains the
BIOS Setup program, Power-on Self-Test (POST), the PCI auto-configuration utility,
LAN EEPROM information, and Plug and Play support.
Aptio is AMI’s BIOS firmware based on the UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware
Interface) Specifications and the Intel Platform Innovation Framework for EFI. The
UEFI specification defines an interface between an operating system and platform
firmware. The interface consists of data tables that contain platform-related
information, boot service calls, and runtime service calls that are available to the
operating system and its loader. These provide standard environment for booting an
operating system and running pre-boot applications. Following illustration shows
Extensible Firmware Interface’s position in the software stack.
EFI BIOS provides an user interface allow users the ability to modify hardware
configuration, e.g. change system date and time, enable or disable a system component,
decide bootable device priorities, setup personal password, etc., which is convenient
for modifications and customization of the computer system and allows technicians
another method for finding solutions if hardware has any problems.

The BIOS Setup program can be used to view and change the BIOS settings for the
computer. The BIOS Setup program is accessed by pressing the <Del> or <F2> key
after the POST memory test begins and before the operating system boot begins. The
settings are shown below.

WATCHDOG TIMER CONFIGURATION
The I/O port address of the watchdog timer is 2E (hex) and 2F (hex). 2E (hex) is the
address port. 2F (hex) is the data port. User must first assign the address of register by
writing address value into address port 2E (hex), then write/read data to/from the
assigned register through data port 2F (hex).
Configuration Sequence
To program W83627UHG configuration registers, the following configuration
sequence must be followed:
1. Enter the extended function mode
2. Configure the configuration registers
3. Exit the extended function mode
1. Enter the extended function mode
To place the chip into the Extended Function Mode, two successive writes of 0x87
must be applied to Extended Function Enable Registers (EFERs, i.e. 2Eh or 4Eh).
2. Configure the configuration registers
The chip selects the Logical Device and activates the desired Logical Devices through
Extended Function Index Register (EFIR) and Extended Function Data Register
(EFDR). The EFIR is located at the same address as the EFER, and the EFDR is
located at address (EFIR+1). First, write the Logical Device Number (i.e. 0x07) to the
EFIR and then write the number of the desired Logical Device to the EFDR. If
accessing the Chip (Global) Control Registers, this step is not required. Secondly,
write the address of the desired configuration register within the Logical Device to the
EFIR and then write (or read) the desired configuration register through the EFDR.
3. Exit the extended function mode
To exit the Extended Function Mode, writing 0xAA to the EFER is required. Once the
chip exits the Extended Function Mode, it is in the normal running mode and is ready
to enter the configuration mode.

Flash BIOS Update
I. Before System BIOS update
1. Prepare a bootable media (ex. USB storage device) which can boot system to
DOS prompt.
2. Download and save the BIOS file (ex. B8970TQ4.bin) to the bootable device.
3. Copy AMI flash utility – AFUDOS.exe (v3.02) into bootable device.
4. Make sure the target system can first boot to the bootable device.
a. Make sure the target system can first boot to the bootable device.
Connect the bootable USB device.
b. Turn on the computer and press <F2> or <Del> key during boot to enter
BIOS Setup.
c. System will go into the BIOS setup menu.
d. Select [Boot] menu.
e. Select [Hard Drive BBS Priorities], set the USB bootable device to be the
1st boot device.
f. Press <F4> key to save configuration and exit the BIOS setup menu.

II. AFUDOS Command for System BIOS Update
AFUDOS.exe is the AMI firmware update utility; the command line is shown as
below:
AFUDOS <ROM File Name> [option1] [option2]…
You can type AFUDOS /? to see all the definition of each control options. The
recommended options for BIOS ROM update consist of following parameters:
/P: program main BIOS image
/B: program Boot Block
/N: program NVRAM
/X: don’t check ROM ID

SA-5897 USER′S MANUAL
Page: A-19
III. BIOS update procedure
1. Use the bootable USB device to boot up system into the MS-DOS command
prompt.
2. Type in AFUDOS B897xxxx.bin/p/b/n/x and press enter to start the flash
procedure. (Note that xxxx means the BIOS revision part, i.e. 0P01)
3. During the update procedure, you will see the BIOS update process status and its
percentage. Beware! Do not turn off system power or reset your computer if the
whole procedure are not complete yet, or it may crash the BIOS ROM and make
system unable to boot up next time.
4. After BIOS update procedures is complete, the messages should be like the
figure shown below:
5. You can restart the system and boot up with new BIOS now.
6. Update is complete after restart.

7. Verify during following boot that the BIOS version displayed at initialization
screen has changed.
