2.2JUMPER SETTING OVERVIEW
In order to select the operation modes of your system, configure and set the jumpers on the your SBC to match the need of your application. To set a jumper, a black plastic cap containing metal contacts is placed over the jumper pins as designated by the required configuration as listed in this section. A jumper is said to be “ on ” or “ 1-2 ” when the black cap has been placed on two of its pins, as show in the figure below:
A pair of needle-nose pliers is recommended when working with jumpers. If you have any doubts about the best hardware configuration for your application, contact your local sales representative before you make any changes. In general, you simply need a standard cable to make most connections.
2.3 INSTALLING THE SODIMM MODULE:
A SODIMM module simply snaps into a socket on the system board. Pin1 of the SODIMM module must correspond with Pin1 of the socket.
1.Position the SODIMM above the socket with the “notch” in the module aligned with
the “key” on the socket.
2. Seat the module 15 degree into the bank. Make sure it is completely seated. Push
down it to lock the two sides.

CHAPTER 3. AWAR
D BIOS SETUP
Award‘ s ROM BIOS provides a built-in Setup program that allows the user to modify the basic system configuration and settings. The modified data will be stored in a battery­backed CMOS RAM so that this data will be retained even when the power is turned off. In general, the information saved in the CMOS RAM will stay unchanged unless there is a configuration change in the system, such as hard drive replacement or new equipment is installed.
3.1 RUNNING AWARD BIOS
The Setup Utility is stored in the BIOS ROM. When the power of the computer system is turned on, a screen message appears to give you an opportunity to call up the Setup Utility; while the BIOS will enter the Power On Self Test (POST) routines. The POST routines perform various diagnostic checks while initializing the board hardware. If the routines encounter an error during the tests, the error will be reported in either of two different ways, a series of short beeps will be heard or an error message on the screen will be displayed. There are two kinds of errors: fatal and non-fatal. The system can usually continue the boot up sequence with non-fatal errors. Non-fatal error messages usually appear on the screen along with the following instructions:
“ Press <F1> to RESUME ”
Write down the message and press the F1 key to continue the boot up sequence. After the POST routines are completed, the following message appears:
“ Press DEL to enter SETUP ”
Entering Setup
Turn on the power of the computer system and press <Del> immediately. If you don’ t have the chance to respond, reset the system by simultaneously pressing the <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Delete> keys, or by pushing the ‘ Reset ’ button on the system cabinet. You can also restart the computer by turning the system OFF then ON.

The Standard CMOS Setup utility is used to configure the following components such as date, time, hard disk drive, floppy drive, display, and memory. Once a field is highlighted, on-line help information is displayed in the left bottom of the Menu screen.
Set Date : Month, Date, Year.
Set Time : Hour, Minute and Second. Use 24 Hour clock format (for p.m. time, add 12
to the hour number, you would enter 4:30p.m. as 16:30)
Hard Disks: There are four hard disks listed: “Primary Master”, “Primary Slave”, “Secondary Master” and “Secondary Slave”. For each IDE channel, the first device is the “Master” and the second device is “Slave”. Hard disk types from 1 to 45 are the
AWARD BIOS SETUP
EM-350 / 30
standard ones. To select or change the configuration, move the cursor to the desired position and press <Page Up> or <Page Down> to change the option: (1) Press “Auto” for IDE HDD auto detection, (2) Press “User” for user definable, and Press “None” for not installed (e.g. SCSI). There are six categories of information that you must enter for a HDD: “CYLS”. for (number of cylinders), “HEADS” for (number of heads), “PRECOMP” for (write pre-compensation), “LANDZ” for (landing zone), “SECTOR” for (number of sectors) and ”MODE“ for (Normal, LBA, LARGE and AUTO). The hard disk vendor‘ s or system manufacturer’ s documentation should provide you with the drive specifications. For an IDE hard drive, you can set “TYPE” to “Auto” or use the “IDE HDD AUTO DETECTION” utility in the main program screen to enter the drive specifications.
The AWARD BIOS supports three HDD modes: NORMAL, LBA and LARGE.
NORMAL mode: This is a Generic Access mode in which neither the BIOS nor the IDE controller will make any transformation during the accession. The maximum HDD size is supported by the NORMAL mode that is 528 Megabytes.
LBA mode: This is a Logical Block Addressing mode which is a HDD accessing method to overcome the 528 Megabytes restriction. The number of cylinders, heads and sectors that are shown in setup may not be the physical number contained in the HDD.
During the HDD accessing, the IDE controller will transform the logical address that is described by the cylinder, head and sector numbers into its own physical address as contained inside the HDD. The maximum HDD size that is supported by the LBA mode is 8.4 Gigabytes.
LARGE mode: Some IDE HDD’ s contain more than 1024 cylinders without the LBA support. This access mode tricks DOS (or other OS) with the number of cylinders that is less than 1024 by dividing it by 2. At the same time, the number of heads is multiplied by 2. A reverse transformation process will be made inside the INT13H in order to access the right HDD address. The maximum HDD size that is supported by the LARGE mode is 1 Gigabyte.
Note : 1. To support LBA or LARGE mode, there is software located in the AWARD HD
Service Routine“INT13H”. It may fail to access a HDD with LBA or LARGE modes selected if you are running under an Operating System that replaces the whole INT13H service routine.

The following explains the options for each of the features as listed in the above menu:
Virus Warning: The default setting of the Virus Warning is “Disabled”. When it is enabled, any attempt to write to the boot sector and partition table will halt the system and cause a warning message to appear. If this happens, you can use an anti-virus utility on a virus free, bootable floppy diskette to reboot, to clean and to investigate your system.
CPU Internal Cache: The default setting is “Enabled”. This setting enables the CPU internal cache.
AWARD BIOS SETUP
EM-350 / 34
Quick Power On Self Test: The default setting is “Enabled”. This speeds up the Power On Self Test (POST) by skipping some items that are normally checked during the full POST. If your system is functioning normally, you can choose this feature to speed the booting process.
Boot Sequence: The default setting is “C:, A:”; the other options are “CDROM, C, A” and “A, C” and “C, CDROM, A”. This setting determines where the computer looks first for an operating system, the hard disk, or the floppy disk, … or other. The BIOS will load the operating system from the disk drives in the sequence as selected here.
Swap Floppy Drive: The default setting is “Disabled”. This setting gives you an option to swap A and B floppy disks. Normally, the floppy drive A is the one at the end of the cable and drive B is at the other end. If you set this option to “Enabled”, the Drive A will function as Drive B, and vice-versa under the DOS.
Boot Up Floppy Seek: The defaults setting is “Disabled”. When enabled, the BIOS will check whether there is a floppy disk drive installed.
Boot Up Numlock Status: The default setting is “On”. If set “Off”, the cursor controls will function on the numeric keypad.
Boot Up System Speed: The default setting is “High”. This sets the CPU speed at boot up.
Gate A20 Option: The default setting is “Fast”. This is the optimal setting for the CPU card. The other option is “Normal”.
Memory Parity Check: Select “Enabled”,”Disabled”,or “Auto”. In Auto mode, the BIOS enabled memory checking automatically when it detects the presence of ECC or parity DRAM.
Typematic Rate Setting: The default setting is “Disabled”. If enabled, you can set the typematic rate and typematic delay.
Typematic Rate (Chars/Sec): This setting controls the speed at which the system registers the repeated keystrokes. The choices range from 6 to 30 Chars/Sec. The default setting is “6” Chars/Sec.

Resources Controlled By: The other option is “Default Setting” which allows you to control IRQ’ s and DMAs individually. The defaults setting is “Auto” which will control all IRQ’ s and DMAs automatically.
Reset Configuration Data: The default setting is “Disabled”. When set to “Enabled”, the content of the ESCD block in flash BIOS will be cleared.
IRQ assigned to and DMA assigned to: If there is a legacy ISA device which uses an IRQ or a DMA, set the corresponding IRQ or DMA to “ Legacy ISA”; otherwise you should set to PCI/ISA PnP.
PCI IRQ Activated By: Options are “Level” or “Edge”. The default setting is ”Level“, this option is used to select the IRQ‘ s trigger method.
Used MEM base addr: Because BIOSes fail to auto detect some specific ISA Legacy cards with requested memory space below 1M address, we have added the “Used MEM base addr” and “Used MEM Length” to support such kind of cards. Now, with these two functions, users can define where the used memory address is located and its length of the legacy area correspondingly. Based on this, the BIOS will skip the UMB area that is used by the legacy device to avoid the memory space conflict. For example, if the user selects “D000” for “Used MEM base addr” and “16K” for “Used MEM Length” that means the address region D0000H-D3FFFH is occupied by ISA legacy cards, and the BIOS will not assign this region for PnP/ISA and PCI cards.

the lower mode (e.g. From Mode 3 to Mode 2). All IDE drives should work with PIO mode 0.
IDE Primary Master UDMA, IDE Primary Slave UDMA: Ultra DMA/33 implementation is possible only if your IDE hard drive supports it and the operating environment includes a DMA driver (Windows 95, OSR2, or a third-party IDE bus master driver). If your hard drive and your system software both support Ultra DMA/33, select Auto to enable BIOS support.
Onboard FDC Controller: Select Enabled if your system has a floppy disk controller (FDC) installed on the system board and you wish to use it. If you install an add-in FDC or the system has no floppy drive, select Disabled in this field.
Onboard Serial Port 1 / 2: These options are used to assign the I/O addresses for the two on-board serial ports. They can be assigned as follows: Auto [Default]
3F8 / IRQ4 2F8 / IRQ3 3E8 / IRQ4 2E8 / IRQ3 Disabled (Disable the onboard serial port)
Onboard Parallel Port : This option is used to assign the I/O address for the onboard parallel port. The options are “378/IRQ7” (defaults), “278/IRQ7”, “3BC/IRQ7” and “Disabled” (disable the onboard parallel port). Note: Printer port always use IRQ7 when set to “378/IRQ7” or “278/IRQ7”, or from “3BE/IRQ7” to “Enabled”.
Parallel Port Mode: There are four options “Normal” (default), “ECP”, “ECP/EPP” and “EPP/SPP”. Change the mode from “Normal” to the enhanced mode only if your peripheral device can support it. When it is set to ECP mode, the printer port always uses DMA3.
3.11 SUPERVISOR/USER PASSWORD
The “SUPERVISOR/USER PASSWORD” utility sets the password. The SBC is shipped with the password disabled. If you want to change the password, you must first enter the current password, then at the prompt -- enter your new password. The password is case sensitive, and can be up to 8 alphanumeric characters. Press <Enter> after you have finished typing in the password. At the next prompt confirm
AWARD BIOS SETUP
EM-350 / 45
the new password by re-typing it and pressing <Enter> again. When you are done the screen automatically reverts to the main screen. Remember that when you use this feature, the “Security Option” line in BIOS FEATURES SETUP will determine when entering the password will be required.
To disable the password, press the <Enter> key instead of entering a new password when the “Enter Password” in the dialog box appears. A message will appear confirming that the password is disabled.
If you have set both supervisor and user passwords, only the supervisor password will allow you to enter the BIOS SETUP PROGRAM.
Note : If you forget your password, the only way to solve this problem is to discharge
the CMOS memory by turning the power off and placing a shunt on the S1 (open pad) for 5 seconds, then removing the shunt.
3.12 IDE HDD AUTO DETECTION
If your system has an IDE hard drive, you can use this utility to detect its parameters and enter them into the Standard CMOS Setup automatically.
If the auto-detected parameters displayed do not match the ones that should used for your hard drive, do not accept them. Press the <N> key to reject the values and enter the correct ones manually on the Standard CMOS Setup screen.
Note : If you are setting up a new hard disk drive (with nothing on it) that supports LBA
mode, more than one line will appear in the parameter box, choose the line that lists LBA for an LBA drive.
Do not choose Large or Normal if the hard disk drive is already fully formatted when you install it, choose the mode “HDD Low Level Format” to format it.

4.2 AWARD BIOS FLASH INSTRUCTIONS
It is important to have the system boot cleanly before executing a flash BIOS upgrade since it should not be run under any protected mode environments. (make sure that EMM386.EXE is not being loaded in your config.sys file)
If you have a Windows 95 startup diskette, make a copy of it. Use this new copy to flash the BIOS. Proceed to step (4).
If you do not have a Windows 95 startup diskette, here are the instructions to make one:
l Insert a blank floppy in the A: drive.
1. Go to Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel.
2. Click on the Start Menu and highlight Settings.
3. From the next menu click on Control Panel.
4. Click on Add/Remove Programs. (1) Select the Startup Disk tab at the top of the screen. (2) Place a blank formatted diskette in the A:\drive. (3) Click on Create Disk. (4) Copy awardflash.exe (5) Copy bios file.*bin form driver CD-ROM into diskette.
How to create a startup disk from DOS: Insert a blank floppy in the A: drive. Type "Format a: /s"
l Reboot your system with the bootable floppy disk in your A: drive.(You might have
to change the boot up sequence (in BIOS setup) from C:A: to A:C: before reboot.)
EM-350 / 48
l Confirm the BIOS filename on the diskette matches the name on the manual.
To confirm the bios filename do a directory command on the A: drive (DIR A: /W <return>) You should see a filename that matches the name on the disk label. (ex: filename fem-350a.BIN)
l Make a note of the filename with the .BIN extension. l Run the Award flash program AWARDFLASH.EXE
l Type “awardflash xxxxxxxx.bin /cc/sn/cp”
Ex: you want change to FEM-350B.BIN,”awardflash FEM-350B.bin)
l Follow the on screen instructions and it will ask for the name of theBIOS file
(filename.bin)to program.Enter the entire filename and press Enter.The program will ask you to confirm that you want to program the bios. press Enter.
Make sure when it is programming that you do not turn off or reset thecomputer or else your bios will be damaged. You should see a progres sbar and the lower half of the screen and then it will prompt you to reset.
l You should be able to see new BIOS version display on the screen when you
reboot your system. Press <del> and setup your bios again.

GLOSSARY
8-Bit Bus –
Data is transmitted to expansion slots and other components on the bus
only along 8 parallel data line.
10Base-T – It is a 10Mbps IEEE 802.3/Ethernet standard that uses unshielded twisted pair cable specification. 10Base-T supports network configuration using the CSMA/CD access method over a twisted pair transmission system up to 100 meters in length without the use of repeater.
16-Bit Bus or ISA Bus –
Data is transmitted along either 8 or 16 data lines, depending on what kind of adapter card is used in an expansion slot. ISA is the abbreviation of Industry Standard Architecture.
100Base-TX – It is a 100Mbps IEEE 802.3/Ethernet standard that uses UTP cable. Also called Fast Ethernet, it uses RJ-45 connectors and EIA/TIA T568B pinning. Maximum cable length from hub to node is 100 meters without a repeater.
Adapter –
It is also called an expansion board, expansion card, or adapter card. It is a small circuit board that is installed in the expansion slots on the motherboard. You can install a particular adapter that connects a new device such as internal modem, sound card, and scanner.
AGP (Accelerated Graphic Port ) – is a 32-bit, 66MHz data bus that transmit a maximum of 528MB of data.
bps – Bits per second. Also often preceded by K (kilo/thousands), Kbps – Kilo bytes per second, and M (mega/million), Mbps – Mega bytes per second.
BIOS (Basic Input /Output System) –
This is a chip on the motherboard that contains
the instructions for starting up, or booting, the computer, and more.
Bus –
Data that travels in a computer along the circuits on the motherboard are called buses. Although three main buses (data bus, address bus, and control bus) manage the computer’ s operation, often these are collectively called the bus. The bus carries instructions back and forth between the CPU and other devices in the system. ISA, EISA, VL-Bus, PCI and SCSI are examples of PC buses.
EM-350 / 53
Bus Mastering – A method of transferring data through a bus in which the device takes over the bus and directly controls the transfer of data to the computer’ s memory. Bus mastering is a method of Direct Memory Access (DMA) transfer.
Cache –
Cache RAM is an extra holding area for program instructions that need to be frequently used by the CPU or swapped in and out of RAM. Your CPU can usually access those instructions from the cache more quickly than it could from a hard disk or even RAM, so a cache helps the system work more efficiently. Most systems sold today offer either 256K or 512K cache.
CPU (Central Processing Unit) –
executes all commands and controls the flow of data, providing the “ brain ” that enables the PC to calculate and perform the operations like sorting information more quickly than a human is able to. The CPU makes perhaps the greatest contribution to a PC’ s speed and power. Note: Any additional information is subject to change without prior revision from the supplier.
Table 1 -- CPU Speeds
Processor type Speed ratings (MHz)
486DX2 66, 80 486DX2 75, 100, 120 Pentium 90, 100, 120, 133, 166, 200, 233 Pentium MMX 166, 200, 233, 266 Pentium Pro 166, 180, 200 Pentium II 233, 266, 300
EIDE (Enhanced IDE) –
It is a hard drive controller that enables your system to be able
to handle fast hard disk drives at a speed of 10Mbps.
EISA or MCA Bus –
Data is transmitted along 32 data lines to adapter cards designed specifically to work with the 32-bit buses. MCA expansion slots cannot accept 8-bit or 16-bit adapter cards. EISA stands for Extended Industry Standard Architecture, while MCA stands for MicroChannel Architecture. MCA is architecture used in IBM Microcomputer.
EM-350 / 54
Expansion slots –
Expansion slots are plug-in connectors that allow you to insert additional circuit boards that attach to the rest of the PC through special circuitry called the
bus
. By inserting the right circuit board -- usually called an
adapter
or an
expansion card
– you can increase the resolution and the number of colors used by the display, or you can transform your PC into a machine for recording and playing music.
Fast SCSI – The common nomenclature associated with SCSI-2, the second generation of SCSI offering mandatory parity checking improvements over SCSI-1.
IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) –
It was developed from ST-506 type hard drive interface, utilizes BIOS INT 13h hard drive secondary software and supports two hard drives (Master and Slave). Do not need extra software to drive since it is directly initiated in the BIOS. Data transfer rate is 4.1 Mbps. Take note that this interface cannot support other drive like CD-ROM drive.
IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers) – It is an international professional society that issues its own standard, and is a member of ANSI and ISO. Popular known standards is:
IEEE802.3 is a physical layer standard for 10Base-T,
100Base-T, Ethernet, and StarLAN.
IEEE802.5 is a physical layer standard for Token Ring. IEEE802.11 – is a physical layer standard for Wireless
LAN/WAN compatibility.
IEEE802.12 – is a physical layer standard for 100VG AnyLAN.
LAN (Local Area Network) – A data communications network spanning a limited area.
It provides communications between three or more computers and peripherals, in most cases using a high-speed media as it’ s backbone.
Keyboard –
This is a component that comes in direct contact for you with your PC. The mechanism of keyboard converts a key cap’ s movement into a signal sent to the computer. The most common key mechanisms are “
capacitate
” and “
hard
contact
”. Capacitate keyboard has a spring that causes the plastic and the metal plunger to move nearer to two pads that have large plates (plated in tin, nickel, and copper). These pads are connected to the keyboard’ s printed circuit board. Hard contact keyboard causes the key cap to collapse a foam rubber dome that presses against a sheet of plastic on the bottom of which is metallic area connected to the rest
EM-350 / 55
of the keyboard’ s circuit board.
LDCM (LANDesk Client Manager) – With the help of LDCM, PCs that are either stand­alone or on a network can not escape the control of a system administrator. Alerts will be sent to the user if an abnormal condition is encountered in a PC. It allows the administrator to give each PC a thorough check-up. Additionally, this feature is available to multiple OS’ s on the market today. LDCM Key Features include the
following : ¬Health Monitoring¡A-Real-Time Alerting¡A®Remote Accessibility¡A ¯Extensive Instrumentation. This is a product from Intel.
Mouse –
The keyboard is a barrier to learn how to use a computer. Xerox Corporation first developed the concept of a pointing device, something a computer user could move with his or her hand, causing a corresponding move on screen. Because of its size and tail like cable, the device was named for the mouse. Apple Computer made the mouse a standard feature of its Macintosh computers, and with the popularity of Windows, a mouse is becoming standard equipment on all PCs, as well. “
Trackballs
” have survived more awkward methods of navigating with the keyboard.
Digitizing tablets
” are popular with architects and engineers who must translate precise movements of a pen into lines on the screen. “ Touch screens “, on which you press either your finger and a special light pen to control the software, are too tiring to use for any length of time.
MMX –
CPU’ s with MMX technology are optimized to run multimedia applications, and therefore, offer faster multimedia playback than standard CPUs. However, when manufacturers introduce any new hardware technology, the software makers need to catch up. At this time of compilation, most applications can’ t yet take advantage of MMX capabilities.
Parallel port –
Parallel ports (labeled
LPT1, LPT2
, and so on) are usually for plugging
in printers. It is also often called a
Centronics port
– has been almost synonymous
with
printer port
. Although a serial port can also be used to send data from a PC to some models of printers, the parallel port is faster. A serial port sends data one bit at a time over a single one-way wire; a parallel port can send several bits of data across eight parallel wires simultaneously. Take note that a serial connection sends a single bit, a parallel port send an entire byte.
PCI Bus (Peripheral Component Interconnect) – It is a connection slot in a motherboard that supports 32-bit bus transfer rates. The now standard PCI Local
EM-350 / 56
Bus carries data along at least 32 lines, that is, at least 32 bits at a time. Local bus computer designs add special buses so the CPU can communicate directly with key components like the monitor, resulting in much better performance. You should look for PCI local bus capabilities in any system you buy, especially PCI local bus video (which helps the monitor display more quickly).
POST (Power-On Self-Test) –
is the first thing your PC does when you turn it on, and it’ s your first warning of trouble with any of the components. When the POST detects an error from the display, memory, keyboard, or other basic components, it produces an error warning in the form of a message on your display and — in case your display is part of the problem — in the form of a series of beeps.
RAM (Random Access Memory) –
consists of a bank of chips that act as “ working memory ”, holding program instructions and data only while your computer’ s turned on. Unless the instructions and data are saved to a disk, RAM forgets them when you turn your computer off. RAM is measured in megabytes (M). Most computers today come with 32M of RAM, though some sell with only 16M installed. There are a few different types and speeds of RAM as well. One of the most prominent today is Extended Data Output ( EDO) RAM but, an even faster type of RAM that has just hit the market is called
SyncDRAM
.
Serial port –
Serial ports are also sometimes called
COM
(short for COMmunications)
ports, and are labeled
COM1, COM2
, and so on. It is simple in concept: one line to send data, another line to receive data, and a few other lines to regulate how data is sent over the other two lines – from commonplace modems and printers to plotters and burglar alarms. The most common use for serial port is with a
mouse
or
modem
. The reason for this is that a serial port is not a very efficient way to transfer data, so little data that speed is not crucial, and perfect for modems because with current technology, phone lines cannot transport more than one signal at a time anyway. The
serial port
is often referred to as an
RS-232 port
.
SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) – An intelligent bus for transmitting data commands between a variety of devices. There are many implementations of SCSI, including Fast SCSI, Wide SCSI, Fast Wide SCSI, Fast-20, and Fast-40.
SCSI-2 – The second generation of SCSI; includes many improvements to SCSI-1, including Fast SCSI, Wide SCSI, and mandatory parity checking.
EM-350 / 57
SCSI-3 – The third generation of SCSI; introduces Fast-20 and Fast-40 as improvements to the parallel bus. The standard also includes a number of specifications for high-speed serial bus architectures such as SSA, Fiber Channel, and IEEE 1394. Also known as Ultra SCSI.
Ultra SCSI – Also known as SCSI-3, is a third generation SCSI standard that introduced parallel bus speed improvements (FAST-20 and FAST-40), an the miniaturized 68-pin micro connector.
USB (Universal Serial Bus) – USB consolidates serial, parallel, keyboard, mouse, and game ports into one asynchronous and isochronous communications port with bandwidth for data transfer speeds up to 12 Mbps without termination. By daisy­chaining USB hubs, up to 127 I/O devices can be connected to one USB port on the PC. USB is completely plug-and play meaning peripherals can be correctly detected and configured automatically as soon as they are connected.
UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) – Twisted pair cable with neither individual nor overall shielding. Twisted Pair are two wires twisted together to reduce susceptibility to RF crosswalk.
VGA (Video Graphics Array) – A video adapter that supports 640x480 pixels color resolution. The Windows OS provides medium text & graphics standard.
VL-Bus – It is also known as Local Bus; this is an I/O interface that is directly connected and depended of the system CPU. The VL-Bus is an abbreviation of VESA Local Bus.
