RS-232. When an optional touch -screen is ordered with PPC, serial com port can
connect to a serial or an optional touch -screen. One optional COM port supports
RS232/422/485 choice through jumper setting.

2.2.4 Internal VGA

The Motherboard has one VGA port that can be connected to an external CRT/ LCD
monitor. Use VGA cable to connect to an external CRT / LCD monitor, and connect
the power cable to the outlet . The VGA connector is a standard 15 -pin D-SUB
connector.

2.2.5 Ethernet interface

The Motherboard is equipped with Realtek RTL8111B + Realtek RTL8111B chipset
which is fully compliant with the PCI 10/100 /1000 Mbps Ethernet protocol
compatible. It is supported by major network operating systems. The Ethe rnet ports
provide two standard RJ-45 jacks.

2.2.6 USB ports

Eight USB devices (four with pin headers) may be connected to the system though an
adapter cable. Various adapters may come with USB ports. USB usually connect the
external system to the system. The U SB ports support hot plug -in connection.
Whatever, you should install the device driver before you use the device.

7.1 BIOS Introduction

Award BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) installed in your computer system’s ROM

supports Intel processors. The BIOS provides critical low -level support for a standard
device such as disk drives, serial ports and parallel ports. I t also adds virus and
password protection as well as special s upport for detailed fine -tuning of the chipset
controlling the entire system.

7.2 BIOS Setup

The Award BIOS provides a Setup utility program for specifying the system
configurations and setting s. The BIOS ROM of the syste m stores the Setup utility. As
you turn on the computer, the Award BIOS is immediately activated. Pressing the
<Del> key immediately allows you to enter the Setup utility. If you are a little bit late
pressing the <Del> key, POST (Power On Self Test) will continue with its test
routines, thus preventing you from invoking the Setup. If you still wish to enter Setup,

restart the system by pressing the ”Reset” button or simultaneously pressing the

<Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Delete> keys. Yo u can also restart by turning the system Off and
