Caution
Some components on POS-370N are very sensitive to static discharges.
To protect it from unintended damage, be sure to follow these
precautions:
1. Ground yourself to remove any static charge before touching your
POS-370N. You can do it by using a grounded wrist strap at all times
or by frequently touching any conducting materials that is connected to
the ground.
2. Handle your POS-370N by its edges. Don’t touch IC chips, leads or
circuitry if not necessary.
3. Do not plug any connector or jumper while the power is on.
4. Do not put your POS-370N unprotected on a flat surface, as the board
has components on both sides.

User Mode OSD Feature
The 3115T R3 has user mode on screen display (OSD) adjustment controls. The
following table describes each function of the OSD controls.
Table 3–16. User Mode OSD Feature
Feature Description
Auto-Adjustment This feature will automatically adjust the H/V position, frequency,
phase, and black level.
Auto Phase This feature will automatically adjust the sampling.
Brightness This function will adjust the offset value of ADC. Setting this value too
high or too low will decrease the quality of images.
Contrast This option is used to adjust the contrast level on the screen and will
adjust the gain value of ADC. Adjusting this value too high or too low
will decrease the quality of images.
DOS/GFX This option is used to select the VGA input signal in either text or
graphic mode. (This option is only available on resolutions of
720/640x400 or 720/640x350). Standard IBM modes 350 and 400
have the same Hsync. and Vsync. Values. The display control circuit
cannot differentiate between the Hsync. And Vsync. values
automatically, so the user should adjust them manually to match the
proper VGA mode .
H. Position This option is used to adjust horizontal display position of image.
V. Position This option is used to adjust vertical display position of image.
Language This option is used to select the language used on the OSD display.
The display control circuit can support 2 languages on the OSD
display. English is the default language.
Revert This option is used to reset the original parameters to the factory’s
OSD data area of the system EEPROM (24c16) device. When the
user over-adjusts the OSD data and sees no improvement in the
quality, then the user can select this feature and the display control
circuit will reload default BIOS setting and re-initialize the system.
Save This option is used to save the parameters into the EEPROM
(24c16) system’s user OSD adjustment data area and close the
OSD. Whenever the user adjusts any parameters, this option will
save the changed data on to the EEPROM (24c16) so that the MPU
will use the stored data to initialize the display control circuit system
on future re-boots.
Main Menu Each level of the OSD has an item named Main Menu, which allows
the user to exit the current level and return to the main menu.
Exit Press the EXIT key to exit the OSD menu when you are finished.

Award BIOS Setup
This section describes the Award Setup program built into the ROM BIOS. The
setup program allows users to modify the basic system configuration. This special
information is then stored in battery-backed RAM so that it retains the Setup
information when the power is turned off.
Starting Setup
The Award BIOS is immediately activated when you first power on the computer.
The BIOS reads the system information contained in the CMOS and begins the
process of checking out the system and configuring it. When it finishes, the BIOS
will seek an operating system on one of the disks and then launch and turn control
over to the operating system.
While the BIOS is in control, the Setup program can be activated in one of two ways:
1. By pressing <Del> immediately after switching the system on, or
2. By pressing the <Del> key when the following message appears briefly at the
bottom of the screen during the POST (Power On Self Test).
Press DEL to enter SETUP.
If the message disappears before you respond and you still wish to enter Setup,
restart the system to try again by turning it OFF then ON or pressing the "RESET"
button on the system case. You may also restart by simultaneously pressing <Ctrl>,
<Alt>, and <Delete> keys. If you do not press the keys at the correct time and the
system does not boot, an error message will be displayed and you will again be asked
to...

Using Setup
In general, you use the arrow keys to highlight items, press Enter to select, use the
PgUp and PgDn keys to change entries, press F1 for help and press Esc to quit. The
following table provides more detail about how to navigate in the Setup program
using the keyboard.

Getting Help
Press F1 to pop up a small help window that describes the appropriate keys to use
and the possible selections for the highlighted item. To exit the Help Window press
Esc or the F1 key again.
If, after making and saving system changes with Setup, you discover that your
computer no longer is able to boot, the Award BIOS supports an override to the
CMOS settings, which resets your system to its defaults.
The best advice is to only alter settings that you thoroughly understand. To this end,
we strongly recommend that you avoid making any changes to the chipset defaults.
These defaults have been carefully chosen by both Award and your systems
manufacturer to provide the absolute maximum performance and reliability. Even a
33 141876(E)
Page 38
3115T Thin Line Industrial Flat Panel PC Chapter 3 – POS-370 Control Board and BIOS Setup
seemingly small change to the chipset setup has the potential for causing you to use
the override.
Main Menu
Once you enter the AwardBIOS™ CMOS Setup Utility, the Main Menu will appear
on the screen. The Main Menu allows you to select from several setup functions and
two exit choices. Use the arrow keys to select among the items and press Enter to

Figure 3–6. CMOS Setup Utility
This section allows you to configure the system based on the specific features of the
installed chipset. This chipset manages bus speeds and access to system memory
resources, such as DRAM and the external cache. It also coordinates
communications between the 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 your system.
Advanced DRAM Control 1/2 Settings
The first chipset settings deal with CPU access to dynamic random access memory
(DRAM). The default timings have been carefully chosen and should only be altered
if data is being lost. Such a scenario might well occur if your system had mixed
speed DRAM chips installed so that greater delays may be required to preserve the
integrity of the data held in the slower memory chips.

Chapter 4 – Maintenance
The 3115T R3 is designed to withstand the harsh environment of the factory floor.
Routine maintenance can help keep your system in good operating condition.
Preventive maintenance consists of several basic procedures that will greatly
reduce the chance of system malfunction. Schedule preventive maintenance along
with the regular equipment maintenance to minimize down time.
General Preventive Maintenance
Here are some preventive measures you can take:
••••
Clean the monitor screen using a non-residue cleaner such as a mild window
cleaning solution or CRT screen cleaner. Take care not to scratch the screen
face.
••••
Remove dust and dirt from PC components. If dust builds up on heat sinks and
circuitry, an obstruction of heat dissipation could cause the unit to malfunction.
If dust reaches the electronic boards, a short circuit could occur.
••••
Check the connections to I/O modules, especially in environments where
vibration could loosen the connections. Check to see that all plugs, sockets,
terminal strips, and module connections are solid.
••••
Remove unnecessary articles, such as drawings or manuals, from the unit. They
can obstruct airflow and create hot spots, which cause the system to malfunction.
••••
Do not place noise-generating equipment near the 3115T R3 unit.
Fuse Replacement
The 3115T R3 unit has no accessible fuse. Return the unit to the factory for fuse
replacement.
Recommended Hard Drive Preventive Maintenance
Xycom Automation has recognized that hard drive failures may begin to increase an
average of four to five years into the life of most computers used in industrial
applications. Therefore, it is our recommendation as a preventive maintenance
measure that all hard drives used in these types of applications be replaced before the
four to five year time period to avoid any down time related to hard drive failure.
The purpose of this message is to merely bring this to our customer’s attention, to
offer alternative solutions, and to provide all of our customers with the excellent
service they deserve.
Any questions regarding this issue may be directed to our support center at
Please note: Xycom recommends frequent backups of your hard drive, especially before beginning
preventive maintenance procedures.

Diagnostic Testing
If you suspect that you are having hardware problems with your 3115T R3, you can
use the Xycom diagnostic utility to check out the PC’s various ports and subsystems.
The diagnostic utility is on the Documentation and Support Library CD that was
included with the your unit.
The first step is to create a diagnostic diskette. The following steps can be done on
any computer with a CD-ROM drive:
1. Create a DOS-bootable diskette
2. Create a temporary folder on the computer hard drive
3. There is a self-extracting zip file on the Documentation and Support Library CD
located in:
DRIVERS\Computer Diagnostics 99290-001\DOS\xydiag
Run that program and extract the files to the temporary folder you just created.
4. Copy the extracted files onto the DOS-bootable diskette.
When you have created the diskette, insert it into the 3115T R3 unit’s floppy drive
and re-boot the unit. The menu in Figure 5–2, Main Menu, will appear following
boot-up. Additional information on the tests is included in the .txt files on the
diskette.
Perform the following steps before starting the system tests:
1. Place the CPU board jumpers and switches to the factory set positions.
2. Plug the female end of the AC power cable into the side of the unit and the male
end into a properly grounded outlet.
3. Connect the serial loopback connector(s) and the printer cable to the appropriate
connectors, and connect a PC/AT or PS/2 keyboard. Figure 5–1, Serial Loopback
Connections, illustrates the wiring necessary for the loopback connection.
4. Default the CMOS setup to the factory settings.

Installing Drivers
This section describes how to install the drivers associated with the system.
For further assistance, contact Xycom Automation technical
support at 734-944-0482 or [email protected].
Video Drivers
Video drivers and the expansion utilities are on the Documentation and Support
Library CD included with the documentation kit.
Choose the video driver for your operating system from the following directory on
the Documentation and Support Library CD:
\DRIVERS\VIDEO\POS370N\SIS\630
Video Expansion
This section deals with the hardware expansion capability of the video controller

Note
66 141876(E)
Page 71
3115T R3 Thin Line Industrial Flat Panel PC Chapter 5 – Troubleshooting
Note
It is not necessary to read this section if you are a Windows or
OS/2® user and do not plan to run DOS applications.
Unlike a CRT monitor, a flat panel display has a fixed horizontal and vertical
resolution. There are many DOS video modes whose resolution is less than that of a
flat panel display. In order to more efficiently make use of the flat panel display’s
active area, it is necessary to employ an expansion technique, which stretches the
lower resolution information to fill the higher resolution of the display.
For example, DOS defaults to VGA video mode 3+. This is an 80 column, 25-row
text only screen whose effective resolution is 640 dots x 400 scan lines. Because of
this, the 800 x 600 display of the system will be partially filled by the 640 x 400
resolution of this particular mode. The expansion function uses lower resolutions
that will better utilize the display by stretching the information in an attempt to fill
the display.
Operating systems such as Microsoft Windows 98 and Windows NT use display
drivers to handle the different flat panel displays. Here, expansion is not necessary
since there is a specific driver for each resolution display.
Expansion does not add any resolution to the existing information; it simply stretches
the information to better fit the display. Text and graphic screens can look somewhat
grainy from the process of expansion.
Touch Screen Drivers
If you have a touch screen driver that has been factory installed, you will also
receive, pre-loaded and at no extra charge: MS-DOS, Windows 98, Windows 2000,
Windows NT, and Windows XP Professional touch screen drivers.
If you ordered a system pre-loaded with an operating system, the
touch screen driver was pre-installed.
You must install the corresponding touch screen driver software if you change the
operating system. The touch screen drivers are located on the Document and
Support Library CD under:
\DRIVERS\TOUCHSREEN\TOUCHKIT
Note

Miscellaneous Drivers
Refer to your operating system and peripheral manuals for information on installing
drivers related to these items.
Note
If you ordered a system with Windows pre-loaded, you may have to purchase
and install an external parallel port CD-ROM drive, or order your system with
a CD-ROM drive pre-installed, to be able to install Windows drivers. The
Windows operating system ships only on CD-ROM.

Appendix A – Watchdog Timer
The Watchdog Timer is a device to ensure that standalone systems can always
recover from abnormal conditions that cause the system to crash. These conditions
may result from an external EMI or a software bug. When the system stops working,
hardware on the board will perform hardware reset (cold boot) to bring the system
back to a known state.
Three I/O ports control the operation of Watch-Dog Timer.
440 (hex) Write
440 (hex) Write Disable the Watchdog Timer.
Set Watchdog Time period
Enable the refresh the Watchdog Timer.
Prior to enable the Watch-Dog Timer, user has to set the time-out period. The
resolution of the timer is 1 minute and the range of the timer is from 1 min to 255
min. You need to send the time-out value to the I/O port – 440H, and then enable it
by write data from the same I/O port – 440H(value is 01h-ffh). This activates the
timer that will eventually time out and reset the CPU board. To ensure that this reset
condition won’t occur, the Watch-Dog Timer must be periodically refreshed by write
the same I/O port 440H(the same value is 01h-ffh). This must be done within the
time-out period. (Refer to the example program.) Finally, we have to disable the
Watchdog timer by write the I/O port -- 440H (value is 0h). Otherwise, the system
could reset unconditionally.

Appendix D – How to Upgrade a New BIOS
Please contact the Xycom Automation Application Engineering Department at 734429-4971 to obtain the latest BIOS.
BIOS Update Procedure
Notes
A. This procedure will erase any prior data on that floppy, so please proceed
accordingly.
B. Typically four files will be transferred, only COMMAND.COM being visible
when running a simple directory listing.
C. Please leave the diskette un-write protected for the balance of this
procedure.
1. Make a boot disk. Go to the DOS command prompt in MS-DOS or Windows 9x
and, with an available floppy disk in "A", type "format A:/s" That will format the
floppy and transfer the needed system files to it.
2. Download the BIOS upgrade file and awdflash.exe utility from an ICP web site
to a temporary directory on your hard drive, or directly to the floppy formatted in
step 1.
3. Copy (BIOS file and awdflash.exe) files to the boot floppy disk.
4. Reboot the system to the DOS command prompt using the boot disk made in the
previous steps.
5. At the DOS command prompt, awdflash filename.xxx, (filename.xxx is the file
name of the upgraded BIOS file), press Enter.
6. The first prompted option is to save the old BIOS. It is recommended that this
option be selected in case it is later decided not to use the new version once it is
installed. To save, enter Y. To not save, enter N.
Notes
A. DO NOT save the old BIOS with the same file name as the new BIOS. If
the same file name is used, the new BIOS will write over the old BIOS with
no prompted warning.
B. If the old BIOS is not saved write down the version number of the old BIOS
and store it with your important computer documents. If not saving old
BIOS, enter N (for "no") and skip to step 9.
76 141876(E)
Page 81
3115T R3 Thin Line Industrial Flat Panel PC Appendix D – How to Upgrade a New BIOS
7. Enter a NEW name for the old BIOS file, press Enter.
8. The second prompted option will be whether you want to flash your BIOS. Enter
Y for yes, N for no.
Warning
Once the Enter key is pressed, DO NOT touch the keyboard,
reset button, or power switch while flashing is in progress. A
progress bar on the screen will show the progress of the flashing.
9. When the flashing process is complete, you will be asked to reset or power off
the system. Remove the floppy disk from the drive and reset or power off the
system.
10. Reboot the system and note that the BIOS version on the initial boot-up screen
has changed to the new BIOS version. Your BIOS upgrade is now complete.
Recovering Your Old BIOS
1. Boot the system with the floppy disk that contains the new BIOS. If you do not
have the floppy disk, repeat steps 1, 2, and 3 of the BIOS Upgrade Procedure
above for the version of the BIOS recovering.
2. Complete steps 4 and 5 (filename.xxx is the name of the recovered BIOS file).
Select N for no in step 6, and continue with steps 8, 9, and 10.
