CHAPTER Installation 2 This chapter describes how to set up the main board hardware, including instructions on setting jumpers and connecting peripherals, switches, and indicators. Be sure to read all the safety precautions before you begin the installation procedure.
Setting jumpers You can configure your card to match the needs of your application by setting jumpers. A jumper is the simplest kind of electric switch. It consists of two metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected by a plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect them. To “close” a jumper you connect the pins with the clip. To “open” a jumper you remove the clip. Sometimes a jumper will have three pins, labeled 1, 2, and 3. In this case you would connect either pins 1 and 2 or 2 and 3.
CPU installing and upgrading You can upgrade to a more powerful Celeron CPU at any time. Simply remove the old CPU, install the new one, and set the jumpers for the new CPU speed. Warning! Always disconnect the power cord from your chassis when you are working on it. Do not make connections while the power is on as sensitive electronic components can be damaged by the sudden rush of power. Only experienced electronics personnel should open the system chassis.
3. Press the lever down. The plate will slide forward. You will feel some resistance as the pressure starts to secure the CPU in the socket. This is normal and won't damage the CPU. When the CPU is installed, the lever should snap into place at the side of the socket. Note: To remove a CPU, pull the lever out to the side a little and raise it as far as it will go. Lift the CPU chip out. When you install a new CPU, be sure to adjust the board settings, such as CPU type and CPU clock.
Installing SDRAM (DIMMs) System Memory The upper edge of the MB-662 contains two sockets for 168 pins dual inline memory module (DIMM). The socket uses 3.3 V unbuffered synchronous (SDRAM). DIMM is available in capacities of 16, 32, 64, 128, or 256 MB. The socket can be filled in the DIMM of any size, giving your MB-662 single board computer between 16 and 512 MB of memory. Supplementary information about DIMM Your MB-662 can accept both regular and PC-100 SDRAM DIMM Module(with or without parity).

CHAPTER 3 Award BIOS Setup This chapter describes how to configure the BIOS for the system.
Starting setup The Award BIOS is immediately activated when you first turn on the computer. The BIOS reads system configuration information in CMOS RAM and begins the process of checking out the system and configuring it through the power-on self test (POST). When these preliminaries are finished, the BIOS seeks an operating system on one of the data storage devices (hard drive, floppy drive, etc.). The BIOS launches the operating system and hands control of system operations to it.

Power Advanced Power Management (APM) Management options. PnP/PCI Plug and Play standard and PCI Local Bus Configuration configuration options. Integrated I/O subsystems that depend on the intePeripherals grated peripherals controller in your system. Supervisor/User Change, set, or disable a password.
Load BIOS Defaults Load Setup Defaults Save & Exit Setup Exit Without Save BIOS defaults are factory settings for the most stable, minimal-performance system operations. Setup defaults are factory settings for optimal-performance system operations. Save settings in nonvolatile CMOS RAM and exit Setup. Abandon all changes and exit Setup.
Standard CMOS setup When you choose the STANDARD CMOS SETUP option from the INITIAL SETUP SCREEN menu, the screen below is displayed.
This standard setup menu allows users to configure system components such as the date, time, hard disk drive, floppy drive, display, and memory. Online help for each field can be accessed by pressing F1. Date and Time Configuration The BIOS determines the day of the week from the other date information. This field is for information only. Press the left or right arrow key to move to the desired field (date, month, year).
selecting the drive type are available: 1.Match the specifications of your installed IDE hard drive(s) with the preprogrammed values for drive types 1 through 45. 2.Select USER and enter values into each drive parameter field. 3.Use the IDE HDD AUTO DECTECTION function in Setup. Here is a brief explanation of drive specifications: •Type:The BIOS contains a table of pre-defined drive types.
- LBA (Logical Block Addressing): During drive accesses, the IDE controller transforms the data address described by sector, head, and cylinder number into a physical block address, significantly improving data transfer rates. For drives with greater than 1024 cylinders. Drive A Drive B Select the correct specifications for the diskette drive(s) installed in the computer. None 360K, 5.25 in 1.2M, 5.25 in 720K, 3.5 in 1.44M, 3.5 in 2.88M, 3.
Halt On During the power-on-self-test (POST), the computer stops if the BIOS detects a hardware error. You can tell the BIOS to ignore certain errors during POST and continue the boot-up process. These are the selections: • No errors: POST does not stop for any errors. • All errors If: the BIOS detects any non-fatal error, POST stops and prompts you to take corrective action. • All, But Keyboard: POST does not stop for a keyboard error, bus stops for all other errors.
•Extended Memory Above the 1-MB boundary. Early IBM personal computers could not use memory above 1 MB, but current PCs and their software can use extended memory. •Other Memory Between 640 KB and 1 MB; often called High memory. DOS may load terminate-and-stay-resident (TSR) programs, such as device drivers, in this area, to free as much conventional memory as possible for applications. Lines in your CONFIG.SYS file that start with LOADHIGH load programs into high memory.
BIOS features setup By choosing the BIOS FEATURES SETUP option from the INITIAL SETUP SCREEN menu, the screen below is displayed.
The displayed configuration is based on the manufacturer's SETUP DEFAULTS settings. Virus Warning When enabled, you receive a warning message if a program (specifically, a virus) attempts to write to the boot sector or the partition table of the hard disk drive. You should then run an antivirus program. Keep in mind that this feature protects only the boot sector, not the entire hard drive. NOTE: Many disk diagnostic programs that access the boot sector table can trigger the virus warning message.
Boot Up from LAN When enabled, the BIOS attempts to boot from a LAN boot image before it attempts to boot from a local storage device. The Choice: Disabled, Enabled Boot Sequence The original IBM PCs loaded the DOS operating system from drive A (floppy disk), so IBM PC-compatible systems are designed to search for an operating system first on drive A, and then on drive C (hard disk). However, the BIOS now offers many boot sequence options.
Typematic Rate Setting- Key strokes repeat at a rate determined by the keyboard controller. When enabled, the typematic rate and typematic delay can be selected. The choice: Enabled/Disabled Typematic Rate (Chars/Sec)- Sets the number of times a second to repeat a key stroke when you hold the key down. The choice: 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 24, 30 Typematic Dealy (Msec)- Sets the delay time after the key is held down before it begins to repeat the keystroke.
Shadow Software that resides in a read-only memory (ROM) chip on a device is called firmware. The AwardBIOS permits shadowing of firmware such as the system BIOS, video BIOS, and similar operating instructions that come with some expansion peripherals, such as, for example, a SCSI adaptor. Shadowing copies firmware from ROM into system RAM, where the CPU can read it through the 16-bit or 32-bit DRAM bus. Firmware not shadowed must be read by the system through the 8bit X-bus.
CHIPSET features setup By choosing the CHIPSET FEATURES SETUP option from the INITIAL SETUP SCREEN menu, the screen below is displayed.
The displayed configuration is based on the manufacturer's SETUP DEFAULTS settings. 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 SDRAM. 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.
SDRAM Precharge Control When Enabled, all CPU cycles to SDRAM result in an All Banks Precharge Command on the SDRAM interface. DRAM Data Integrity Mode Select Non-ECC or ECC (error-correcting code), according to the type of installed DRAM. System BIOS Cacheable Selecting Enabled allows caching of the system BIOS ROM at F0000h-FFFFFh, resulting in better system performance. However, if any program writes to this memory area, a system error may result.
Memory Hole at 15M-16M You can reserve this area of system memory for ISA adapter ROM. When this area is reserved, it cannot be cached. The user information of peripherals that need to use this area of system memory usually discusses their memory requirements. Passive Release When Enabled, CPU to PCI bus accesses are allowed during passive release. Otherwise, the arbiter only accepts another PCI master access to local DRAM.
High Limit Temperature Warning When the single board computer exceeds the high limit temperature warning level, the buzzer will sound and the LED will flash. Low Limit Temperature Warning When the single board computer exceeds the low limit temperature warning level, the buzzer will sound and the LED will flash. IN0, IN1, IN2, +5V,-5V,+12V,-12V These fields display the current voltage of up to seven voltage input lines, if your computer contains a monitoring system.
Power management setup By choosing the POWER MANAGEMENT option from the INITIAL SETUP SCREEN menu, the screen below is displayed.
The displayed configuration is based on the manufacturer's SETUP DEFAULTS settings. Power Management This option allows you to select the type (or degree) of power saving for Doze, Standby, and Suspend modes. This table describes each power management mode: Max Saving User Define Min Saving Maximum power savings. Only Available for SL CPUs. Inactivity period is 1 minute in each mode. Set each mode individually. Select time-out periods in the section for each mode, below. Minimum power savings.
PM Control by APM If Advanced Power Management (APM) is installed on your system, selecting Yes gives better power savings. Video Off Method Determines the manner in which the monitor is blanked. V/H SYNC+Blank System turns off vertical and horizontal synchronization ports and writes blanks to the video buffer. DPMS Support Select this option if your monitor supports the Display Power Management Signaling (DPMS) standard of the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA).
Standby Mode After the selected period of system inactivity, the CPU clock stops, the hard drive enters an idle state, and the L2 cache enters a powersave mode. All other devices still operate at full speed. Suspend Mode After the selected period of system inactivity, the chipset enters a hardware suspend mode, stopping the CPU clock and possibly causing other system devices to enter power management modes.
Wake Up On LAN The motherboard enabled or disabled will execute a wake up process whenever LAN (Realtech 8139C) receives a wake up event such as a magic packet. The Choice: Disabled, Enabled IRQ8 Break [Event From] Suspend You can select Enabled or Disabled for monitoring of IRQ8 (the Real Time Clock) so it does not awaken the system from Suspend mode. Reload Global Timer Events When Enabled, an event occurring on each device listed below restarts the global timer for Standby mode.
PNP/PCI configuration setup By choosing the PNP/PCI CONFIGURATION SETUP option from the initial SETUP SCREEN menu, the screen below is displayed.
The displayed configuration is based on the manufacturer's SETUP DEFAULTS settings. NOTE: This chapter describes all fields offered by Award Software in this screen. Your system board designer may omit or modify some fields. PNP OS Installed Select Yes if the system operating environment is Plug-and-Play aware (e.g., Windows 95). Resources Controlled By The Plug and Play AwardBIOS can automatically configure all the boot and Plug and Play-compatible devices.
Load BIOS defaults/Load setup defaults LOAD BIOS DEFAULTS loads the default system values directly from ROM. The BIOS DEFAULTS provides the most stable settings, though they do not provide optimal performance. LOAD SETUP DEFAULTS, on the other hand, provides for maximum system performance. If the stored record created by the setup utility becomes corrupted (and therefore unusable), BIOS defaults will load automatically when you turn the system on.
Integrated peripherals setup By choosing the INTEGRATED PERIPHERALS option from the initial SETUP SCREEN menu, the screen below is displayed.
The displayed configuration is based on the manufacturer's SETUP DEFAULSTS settings. IDE HDD Block Mode Select Enabled only if your hard drives support block mode. IDE Primary Master/Slave UDMA UDMA (Ultra DMA) is a DMA data transfer protocol that utilizes ATA commands and the ATA bus to allow DMA commands to transfer data at a maximum burst rate of 33 MB/s.
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. UART Mode Select Select an operating mode for the second serial port: Normal RS-232C serial port Standard RS-232C serial port IrDA 1.0 Infrared port compliant with IrDA 1.
Onboard Serial Ports (1, 2, 3, 4) Normally, the main board’s I/O chips will occupy a certain portion of memory space. For each I/O device the computer provides an I/O address. The more devices attached the more address needed to organize the memory storage areas. If all the I/O devices were run through the same address, your devices would come to a near halt. By providing the end user with four serial ports this allows devices to run more efficiently if needed.
Supervisor/User password setting You can set either SUPERVISOR or USER PASSWORD, or both of them. The difference between the two is that the supervisor password allows unrestricted access to enter and change the options of the setup menus, while the user password only allows entry to the program, but not modify options.
When you select this function, a message appears at the center of the screen: ENTER PASSWORD: Type the password, up to eight characters, and press Enter. Typing a password clears any previously entered password from CMOS memory. Now the message changes: CONFIRM PASSWORD: Again, type the password and press Enter. To abort the process at any time, press Esc.
IDE HDD auto detection The IDE HDD AUTO DETECTION utility can automatically detect the IDE hard disk installed in your system. You can use it to self-detect and/or correct the hard disk type configuration.
Save & exit setup If you select this option and press , the values entered in the setup utility will be recorded in the chipset's CMOS memory. The microprocessor will check this every time you turn your system on and compare this to what it finds as it checks the system. This record is required for the system to operate.

APPENDIX A Programming the Watchdog Timer The mainboard is equipped with a watchdog timer that resets the CPU or generates an interrupt if processing comes to a standstill for whatever reason. This feature ensures system reliability in industrial stand-alone and unmanned environments.
Programming the watchdog timer How to program the WATCHDOG TIMER 1. To set the time-out interval of watchdog timer: -- output the desired value to port 0x443. Since the data is of 1 byte, the maximum value will be 255. In our design 2 ~ 255 will denote 2 ~ 255 sec. outportb(0x443, 30 ); // set watchdog to 30 seconds 2. To set the time-out event: -- output data to port 0x444, Timeout =SEC.
outportb(0x443, data); // refresh watchdog timer * note: if you want to refresh the watchdog timer, you have to disable it first.
