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

DC 15V~24V, otherwise the system may be damaged.

2. Environmental Conditions

a. Place your PPC 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 PPC.
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 PPC 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

+45°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 PPC against strong vibrations, which may cause hard disk failure.
g. Do not place the system too close to any radio active device. Radioactive

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.

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 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.

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 Selection” found 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, and 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 PPC-360 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, 443H
OUT DX, AX

4-1. INTRODUCTION

This chapter will show you the function of the BIOS in managing the
features of your system. The PPC-360 Panel 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 Primary Master / Slave:
IDE Secondary Master / 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:

x 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.

x 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.

x Cyls: number of cylinders.

x Head: number of heads.

x Precomp: write precompensation cylinders.

x Landz: landing zone.

x Sector: number of sectors.

x Mode: Auto, Normal, Large or LBA.

x 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

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 AND DRIVE B:

Select the type of floppy disk drive installed in your system. The available
options are 360KB 5.25in, 1.2KB 5.25in, 720KB 3.5in, 1.44MB 3.5in,

S MANUAL

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.

 Please be aware that if select the wrong panel type, it may cause the

abnormal display of the LCD.

DRAM TIMING 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.

DRAM CLOCK :

This item allows you to control the DRAM speed at either equal to or one­half of the SYSCLK (system clock signal) speed. While speed is always
desirable, choosing the higher setting may prove to be too fast for some
components.

SDRAM CYCLE LENGTH:

When synchronous DRAM is installed, the number of clock cycles of CAS
latency depends on the DRAM timing. Do not reset this field from the
default value specified by the system designer.

MEMORY HOLE:

In order to improve performance, certain space in memory is reserved for ISA
cards. This memory must be mapped into the memory space below 16MB.

P2C/C2P CONCURRENCY:

This item allows you to enable/ disable the PCI to CPU, CPU to PCI
concurrency.

Chapter 4 Award BIOS Setup

PPC-360 USERcS MANUAL

Page: 4-13

SYSTEM BIOS CACHEABLE:

Selecting Enabled allows 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 RAM CACHEABLE:

Selecting Enabled allows caching of the video BIOS ROM at C0000h to
C7FFFh, resulting in better video performance. However, if any program
writes to this memory area, a system error may result.

VIDEO BIOS CACHEABLE:

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

ONCHIP USB :

This should be enabled if your system has a USB installed on the system
board and you want to use it. Even when so equipped, if you add a higher
performance controller, you will need to disable this feature.

USB KEYBOARD SUPPORT :

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

ONCHIP SOUND :

This item allows you to control the onboard AC 97 audio.

CPU TO PCI WRITE BUFFER :

When this field is Enabled, writes from the CPU to the PCI bus are buffered,
to compensate for the speed differences between the CPU and the PCI bus.
When Disabled, the writes are not buffered and the CPU must wait until the
write is complete before starting another write cycle.

PCI DYNAMIC BURSING :

When Enabled, every write transaction goes to the write buffer. Burstable
transactions then burst on the PCI bus and nonburstable transactions don’t.

PCI MASTER 0 WS WRITE :

When Enabled, writes to the PCI bus are executed with zero wait states.

PCI 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.

PCI#2 ACCESS #1 RETRY :

When disabled, PCI#2 will not be disconnected until access finishes (default).
When enabled, PCI#2 will be disconnected if max retries are attempted
without success.

SOFT-OFF BY PWR-BTTN:

Pressing the power button for more than 4 seconds forces the system to
enter the Soft-Off state when the system has “hung”. The choices are
Delay 4 Sec and Instant-Off.

PM EVENTS:

PM events are I/O events whose occurrence can prevent the system from
entering a power saving mode or can awaken the system from such a mode.
In effect, the system remains alert for anything, which occurs to a device
which is configured as Enabled, even when the system is in a power down
mode. (1) Primary IDE 0 (2) Primary IDE 1 (3) Secondary IDE 0 (4)

This section 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.
