Embedded Controller AEC-6911 Chapter 3 Award BIOS Setup Chapter 3 Award BIOS Setup 3-1
Embedded Controller AEC-6911 3.1 System Test and Initialization These routines test and initialize board hardware. If the routines encounter an error during the tests, you will either hear a few short beeps or see an error message on the screen. There are two kinds of errors: fatal and non-fatal. The system can usually continue the boot up sequence with non-fatal errors.
Embedded Controller AEC-6911 3.2 Award BIOS Setup Awards BIOS ROM has a built-in Setup program that allows users to modify the basic system configuration. This type of information is stored in battery-backed CMOS RAM so that it retains the Setup information when the power is turned off. Entering Setup Power on the computer and press immediately. This will allow you to enter Setup. Standard CMOS Features Use this menu for basic system configuration. (Date, time, IDE, etc.
Embedded Controller AEC-6911 PC Health Status This menu allows you to set the shutdown temperature for your system. Frequency/Voltage Control Use this menu to specify your settings for auto detect DIMM/PCI clock and spread spectrum. Load Fail-Safe Defaults Use this menu to load the BIOS default values for the minimal/stable performance for your system to operate. Load Optimized Defaults Use this menu to load the BIOS default values that are factory settings for optimal performance system operations.

Embedded Controller AEC-6911 Appendix A Programming the Watchdog Timer Appendix A Programming the Watchdog Timer A-1
Embedded Controller AEC-6911 A.1 Programming AEC-6911 utilizes ITE 8712 chipset as its watchdog timer controller. Below are the procedures to complete its configuration and the AAEON intial watchdog timer program is also attached based on which you can develop customized program to fit your application. Configuring Sequence Description After the hardware reset or power-on reset, the ITE 8712 enters the normal mode with all logical devices disabled except KBC.
Embedded Controller AEC-6911 There are three steps to complete the configuration setup: (1) Enter the MB PnP Mode; (2) Modify the data of configuration registers; (3) Exit the MB PnP Mode. Undesired result may occur if the MB PnP Mode is not exited normally. (1) Enter the MB PnP Mode To enter the MB PnP Mode, four special I/O write operations are to be performed during Wait for Key state.
Embedded Controller AEC-6911 WatchDog Timer Configuration Registers Configure Control (Index=02h) This register is write only. Its values are not sticky; that is to say, a hardware reset will automatically clear the bits, and does not require the software to clear them.
