3.01 STATIC ELECTRICITY PRECAUTIONS
Static electricity can damage a board ; the following precautions should be taken
whenever you handle the TEK-AT4LVG:
• Keep the board in its anti-static package, until you are ready to install it.
• Touch a grounded surface before removing the board from its package or wear a
grounding wrist strap; this will discharge any static electricity that may have built
upon your body.
• Handle the board by the edges.
• When handling the board, touch a grounded surface often or wear a grounding wrist
strap.

Page 26
3.02 72-PIN SIMM CONFIGURATION AND LOCATION
The location of the two 72-pin vertical SIMM sockets appears on Diagram 3-1 ; they are
labeled U22 and U23.
At least 1MB of system memory must be installed on the TEK-AT4LVG for proper
operation. Memory can be configured from 1 to 64 MB on the TEK-AT4LVG board using
36-bit SIMM devices.
Each of the 72-pin SIMM sockets on the board can accept the following 36-bit modules:
256K x 36-bit = 1MB module 2M x 36-bit = 8MB module
512K x 36-bit = 2MB module 4M x 36-bit = 16MB module
1M x 36-bit = 4MB module 8M x 36-bit = 32MB module
SIMM modules can be installed in either one of two 72-pin sockets (U22 and U23). If you
install one SIMM, it must be located in socket U23.
FF If you are installing 72-pin SIMMs, do not install any 30-pin SIMMs.
Consult Table 3-1 on the following page to see which SIMM configurations are supported
by the TEK-AT4LVG with 72-pin vertical SIMMs.
DRAM devices with parity bit and page mode at 70ns maximum access time are
recommended. Consult the following list for examples of recommended DRAM devices.
Users are encouraged to check with their local distributors for compatible substitutes.

3.03 30-PIN SIMM CONFIGURATION AND LOCATION
The TEK-AT4LVG is equipped with an alternate means of implementing DRAM. 30-pin
SIMM socket are included on the board for customers who wish to use their 30-pin
devices.
Since this SBC is targeted for use in upgrade application, the overall cost of the upgrade is
reduced by allowing reuse of older DRAM technology.
The location of the four 30-pin SIMM sockets is illustrated in Diagram 3-2. They are
labeled U24, U25, U26 and U27.
At least 1MB of system memory must be installed on the TEK-AT4LVG for proper
operation. Memory can be configured from 1 to 16 MB on the TEK-AT4LVG board using
9-bit SIMM devices.
The four SIMM sockets accept either 256KB, 1MB or 4MB modules.
SIMM modules must be installed in all four 30-pin sockets: U24, U25, U26 and U27.
FF If you are installing 30-pin SIMMs, do not install 72-pin SIMMs.
Note that all SIMMs installed must be of the same capacity.
Consult Table 3-2 on the following page to see which 30-pin SIMM configurations are
supported by the TEK-AT4LVG.
DRAM devices with parity bit and page mode at 70ns maximum access time are
recommended. Consult the following list to see examples of recommended DRAM
devices. Users are encouraged to check with their local distributors for compatible
substitutes.

3.04 SIMM INSTALLATION
When you are ready to install the SIMMs in the sockets, follow the steps outlined below.
• With the board flat on the table, turn it so that the sockets are at the end of the board
farthest from you.
• Hold the module with the notch on the bottom left facing you, and insert the SIMM
Module into the socket at a 70° angle from the board. Always start inserting the
module in the socket nearest the center of the board. Then work your way by inserting
the other modules, one by one, towards the exterior edge of the board.
• Snap the module to a vertical position in the socket. The module is fully inserted when
the retaining pegs snap into the holes at each end of the module.
To remove the SIMMs from the sockets, pull on the retaining clips, located on each side
of the SIMM socket. Once the module has snapped out of the socket, pull gently on it.

- In Standard Setup, set the date and time.
- In other menu choices, set other options (if necessary).
3. Exit CMOS setup. The system will continue the boot procedure.
4. Once the boot procedure is completed, reboot the system to make sure everything
works properly.
If you should encounter a problem, verify the following items:
• Make sure that all connectors are properly connected. On the standard flat ribbon
cable used for the floppy connector, pin 1 is indicated by small red stripe. Verify that
this red stripe is located adjacent to pin 1 of the connector (On soldering side of the
board, connector pin 1 is designated by a square pad instead of being round).
• Verify your boot diskette. It must be a system disk and it must be in proper working
order.
• If the system still does not start up correctly, remove all the connectors except the
power cord and the video monitor, and try again (this configuration is the minimum
required to see if the board is working).
• If you still are not able to get your board up and running, contact our Technical
Support department for assistance.

RAM Setup will be restored from Flash during each power up, as long as the battery is
good. If the battery fails, the system returns to the power on default configuration.
However, when the battery is replaced, the CMOS RAM Setup is restored from Flash
(only the time and date could be lost).
Please note that modifying and saving the CMOS RAM Setup in AWARD Setup does
not change the Flash copy; to update Flash, you must return to the VIP-UP Setup and
update it while "Use Flash To Store CMOS RAM SETUP" is set to "Yes".

7.03 CACHE MEMORY
There are two separate Caches in the Host subsystem: Internal Cache and External Cache.
The Cache inside the processor (Internal Cache) is referred to as the first level Cache (also
primary Cache). The External Cache (called System Cache in this manual) comprises the
System Controller’s Cache control circuitry and associated external memory array; it is
referred to as the second level Cache (also secondary Cache). The second level Cache is
unified, which means that both CPU data and instructions are stored in the Cache.
7.03.1 SYSTEM CACHE
System Cache is located at U48, U49, U50, U51, U60, U61, U62 and U63 (#7) on
Diagram 7-1; it accepts 0KB, 128KB, 256KB or 512KB of standard asynchronous
SRAMs. The tag RAM is external to the System Controller and is situated at U36.
System Cache copies the most recently accessed data and places it in an area of high speed
memory called SRAM (Static RAM). Cache SRAM is positioned between System Memory
(DRAM) and the CPU. Data is transferred from System Memory to Cache and then from
Cache to the CPU.
Since most program executions are sequential and repetitive, the likelihood is great that
the CPU will find data already stored in either Cache. When the CPU retrieves data from
Cache, a Cache hit occurs. On the other hand, when the CPU must access data from
System Memory, a Cache miss occurs.
System Cache is enabled in the AWARD Setup program.
1. From AWARD’s Main Menu, select the BIOS Features Setup option.
2. In the BIOS Features Setup Menu:
- Select the CPU Internal Cache option, or
- Select the External Cache option.
In both cases, you will have the option to choose between Disabled and Enabled
(Disabled is the default value).

7.04 BOOT SELECTIONS
The Flash EPROM BIOS and the EPROM BIOS are factory installed. The Flash EPROM
BIOS appears on Diagram 7-1 at U56 (#5) and the EPROM BIOS at U55 (#6).
By default the TEK-AT4LVG boots from the Flash EPROM BIOS. This is set by the J13
Emergency BIOS boot selection jumper, as follows:

7.05 SUPERVISOR CIRCUIT
7.05.1 FIELD PROGRAMMABLE GATE ARRAY
Component #2 on Diagram 7-1 is defined as Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA);
this memory device contains registers, one of which is described below.
TEKNOR computers utilize address space 190H, 290H or 390H (depending on the setting
of W16 jumper for I/O base address) to enable special features (see Table 7-3 below).

7.05.2 ONBOARD POWER DETECTION
An onboard device which is part of the reset circuit constantly monitors the voltage which
powers the board. Normally, the board is powered with 5V. If the supply voltage drops
below 4.65V (a typical threshold), the onboard circuitry will reset the board and the
system. This reset has the same effect on the system as the reset button.
Installing and Working With System Components 7-9
Page 73
7.05.3 POWER FAIL DETECTION CIRCUIT
The Power Failure Detector monitors:
• The backup battery to warn of a low battery condition, and
• The +5V power supply to detect when it falls below 4.75V.
If either of the two above conditions occur, the PFO (Power Fail Output signal) goes low.
In turn, the PFO is connected to the IOCHK* line to generate a non-maskable interrupt
(NMI).
Power fail monitoring is enabled by using the W29 jumper. W29 is described in Section 49 (Setting Jumpers).
Installing and Working With System Components 7-10

7.05.4 WATCHDOG TIMER
The Watchdog Timer is extremely useful in embedded systems where human supervision
is not required.
The Jumper Watchdog is set by using W24 jumper. Its setting is given in Section 4-8
(Jumper Settings).
The Watchdog must also be enabled and refreshed by software. To enable the Watchdog
by software, first write "1" in bit "0" at address 190H (or at 290H or 390H depending on
the W16 jumper setting).
When enabled, the microprocessor must refresh the Watchdog. This is done by writing
alternatively "0" and "1" to bit 1 at address 190H (or at 290H or 390H), once every 1.6
seconds (or less) to verify proper software execution.
Following a reset, the Watchdog is always disabled.
If a hardware or software failure occurs such that the Watchdog is not refreshed, a reset
pulse is generated by the Watchdog to restart the processor.
F The user program must provide the first access to address 190H (or at 290H or
390H depending on the W16 jumper setting), and must also include the refresh
routine. In addition, be certain to keep a mirror image of register 190H (or 290H
or 390H) when programming it. This is necessary since the register is a writeonly user register and, as a result, is not used by the system BIOS.

Bit 1 Read/Write Watchdog refresh
The default timeout is 1.6 seconds; however the timeout period can be changed. Shorting
C138 and leaving R152 opened changes the timeout to 100 ms. Shorting R152 and
installing a capacitor at C138 will change the timeout period according to the following
formulae:
Timeout (milliseconds) = (400/47pF) * C
or
C138 = (Timeout (milliseconds) * 47pF) / 400ms.
For instance, an external capacity of 100pF will lengthen the timeout to 851 ms and a
1000pF will bring it to 8.5 seconds.

8.01.2 IDE HOOK-UP
For hooking up either IDE connector, a 40-pin dual row header signal connector is
required. This connector handles all command, data and status I/O lines. Its recommended
maximum cable length is 18-24 inches. It connects directly with the onboard 40-pin male
header connector at J3 or J8.
The following list includes approved vendors for the J3 and J8 connectors’ mating parts:
Amp 746285-9 [optional strain relief: 499252-1],
Robinson Nugent IDS-C40PK-TG,
Thomas & Betts 622-4030 [optional strain relief: 622-4041].
(40-pin flat cable connector).
The drive itself can be mounted on any horizontal or vertical plane.

8.01.4 IDE SOFTWARE SETUP
AWARD Setup
There are two ways to configure hard disk parameters: use IDE hard disk auto detection
(available from the main menu), or enter the parameters in the Standard CMOS Setup.
The following explains how to enter the parameters in the Standard CMOS Setup:
• From the Main Menu, select the Standard CMOS Setup option.
• In the Standard CMOS Setup menu, use the arrow keys to highlight the Primary
Master:, Primary Slave:, Secondary Master:, or Secondary Slave: option (depending on
the installation of your hard drive).
• Use the PgUp or PgDn keys to select the desired value for each item associated to your
hard drive setup:
− There are 46 predefined types and a user definable type. Type 1 to Type 46 are
predefinable and Type USER is user-definable.
− Press PgUp or PgDn to select a numbered hard disk type or type the number and
press Enter. Note that the specifications of your drive must match with the drive
table. The hard disk will not work properly if you enter improper information for
this category. If your hard disk drive type is not matched or listed, you can use
Type USER to define your own drive type manually
− If you select Type USER, you will need to know the information listed below.
Enter the information directly from the keyboard and press Enter. This
information should be included in the documentation from your hard disk vendor.
CYLS Number of cylinders
HEADS Number of heads
PRECOMP Starting write precomp. cylinder
LANDZONE Landing zone
SECTORS Number of sectors
− If a hard disk has not been installed, select NONE and press <Enter>.
Once hard disk parameters are configured, you can enable/disable multiple sector
reads/writes for IDE drives, as follow:
• Return to the Main Menu and select the BIOS Features Setup option.
• In the BIOS Features Setup menu, select the IDE HDD Block Mode option and set this
option to Enabled or Disabled.

8.02 FLOPPY DEVICES
8.02.1 FLOPPY JUMPERS
The TEK-AT4LVG supports the 2.88MB High Density Floppy. The W30 and W31
jumpers EDOUT and HDOUT signals. The ettings are as follows:
1- HDOUT and EDOUT left to sotware (default setting).
OR
2- HDOUT to Pin 33 (J4), and Ground to Pin 27 (J4), with
EDOUT to Pin 29 (J4), and Ground to Pin 17 (J4).
OR
3- HDOUT to Pin 27 (J4), and Ground to Pin 33 (J4), with
EDOUT to Pin 17 (J4), and Ground to Pin 29 (J4).
Please refer to Section 4 for information and about settings and location of these jumpers.
Note: Please notice that these jumpers are optional.
Since the software is smart enough to detect the different types of floppy drive,
your 2.88MB Floppy Drive will operate correctly if 2.88MB is indicated in the
BIOS Setup.
Not installing these jumpers will work for all floppy disk drives, as long as the
proper floppy type is indicated in AWARD Setup. For proper operation, we

8.02.3 FLOPPY HOOK-UP
Mechanical Floppy Disk Installation:
The installation of the Floppy drives is done via a standard IBM 34-pin flat ribbon cable
that connects to J4.
DIAGRAM 8-3: Floppy Disk Cable
The following list includes approved vendors for the J4 connector’s mating parts:
Amp 746285-8 [optional strain relief: 499252-6],
Robinson Nugent IDS-C34PK-TG,
Thomas & Betts 622-3430 [optional strain relief: 622-3441].
(34-pin flat cable connector).
Enhanced Floppy Mode:
In order to connect your 2.88MB Floppy drive, simply indicate the proper Floppy disk
drive in the AWARD Setup program. It is not necessary to set the HDOUT and EDOUT
media detection signal jumpers, explained in the following pages.

8.03 SCSI DEVICES
The SCSI Controller is optional equipment on the TEK-AT4LVG board.
The TEK-AT4LVG board provides an interface between a host or peripheral device, and
the Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) bus.
You can obtain more information regarding the SCSI Controller, SCSI devices and their
drivers in the SCSI manual available through TEKNOR's Sales or Technical Support
department.
Installing IDE, Floppy & SCSI Devices 8-13

8.03.1 INSTALLING A FIXED SCSI HARD DISK
No additional hardware or drivers are necessary if no more than two IDE/SCSI hard disks
will be present in your system.
1 - Jumpers (Power Off)
Power off your computer.
The board's initial jumper settings should be kept in most cases, unless there is a conflict
with other devices you have installed. SCSI jumpers are shown below:
W18: Selects the SCSI IRQ Channel:
W22: Sets up the SCSI I/O Port Address:
W17 & W23: Selects the DMA channel for the SCSI Controller:
* Default setting
Installing IDE, Floppy & SCSI Devices 8-14
Page 95
2 - Connect SCSI Cable (Power Off)
Make certain that both ends of the SCSI cable are terminated and that all devices in
between the ends are non-terminated. The SCSI connector on the TEK-AT4LVG board is
terminated.
The following list includes approved vendors for the J2 connector’s mating parts:
Robinson Nugent IDS-C50PK-TG,
Amp 1-746285-0 [optional strain relief: 499252-4],
Thomas & Betts 622-5030 [optional strain relief: 622-55041].
(50-pin flat cable connector).
Attach one end of the SCSI cable to the J2 SCSI 50-pin connector. Make sure line 1 of the
cable is matched with pin 1 of connector J2.
Attach the other end to your SCSI device, making sure line 1 is matched with pin 1 on
your device.
You must also install a cable from your power supply to your device.
3 - Follow Specific Device Installation Instructions (Power On)
Follow installation instructions provided with your SCSI peripheral device to install it in
the host.
FF Each device being installed must be assigned a unique identifier called a SCSI
Target ID. The lower the ID, the lower the priority level of the device in the
SCSI sub-system. The host adapter is usually assigned the highest priority
level (i.e. 7). Table 8-3 lists common SCSI Target IDs.

8.03.2 INSTALLING OTHER SCSI DEVICES
To install any of the following: CD-ROM, Magneto-Optical/Removable Disk Drive, Tape
Drive, Write Once Read Many (WORM) and scanners, you must use the EZ-SCSI
software utilities diskette which came with your board. The diskette includes a README
file in ASCII and WORD formats which contains setup and installation information. The
diskette also includes any device driver you may need.

8.03.3 REMOVABLE TERMINATION RESISTORS
The TEK-AT4LVG has three termination resistors around the SCSI controller labeled
RN12, RN21 and RN22 on the board. These red-colored resistors are removable. It is
recommended that you remove them if your board is not located at the end of the SCSI
cable.
FF RN12, RN21 and RN22 Termination Resistors should be removed when your
board is not connected at either end of the SCSI cable.
