AR-B1690 User’s Guide 2.2 SYSTEM SETTINGS Jumper pins allow you to set specific system parameters. Set them by changing the pin location of the jumper blocks. (A jumper block is a small plastic-encased conductor that slips over the pins.) To change a jumper setting, remove the jumper from its current location with your fingers or small needle-nosed pliers. Place the jumper over the two pins designated for the desired setting. Press the jumper evenly onto the pins. Be careful not to bend the pins.

AR-B1690 User’s Guide 5.3 ADVANCED CMOS SETUP The option consists of configuration entries that allow you to improve your system performance, or let you set up some system features according to your preference. Some entries here are required by the CPU board’s design to remain in their default settings. Advanced CMOS Setup Quick Boot This category speeds up Power On Self Test (POST) after you power on the computer. BIOS will shorten or skip some check items during POST.
AR-B1690 User’s Guide PS/2 Mouse Support The setting of Enabled allows the system to detect a PS/2 mouse on boot up. If detected, IRQ12 will be used for the PS/2 mouse. IRQ 12 will be reserved for expansion cards if a PS/2 mouse is not detected. Disabled will reserve IRQ12 for expansion cards and therefore the PS/2 mouse will not function. Primary Display The option is used to set the type of video display card installed in the system.
AR-B1690 User’s Guide 5.4 ADVANCED CHIPSET SETUP This option controls the configuration of the board’s chipset. Control keys for this screen are the same as for the previous screen. Advanced Chipset Setup Configure SDRAM Timing by SPD SPD is the abbreviation Serial Presence Detect. SPD takes accord the chip types, capacity, timing, voltage data. The system can auto adjust memory according to the data to reach the best situation.
AR-B1690 User’s Guide 5.5 POWER MANAGEMENT This section is used to configure power management features. This option allows you to reduce power consumption. This feature turns off the video display and shuts down the hard disk after a period of inactivity. Power Management ACPI Aware O/S The option YES is for ATX power, the option NO is for AT Power.
AR-B1690 User’s Guide 5.6 PCI/PLUG AND PLAY This section is used to configure PCI / Plug and Play features. The option configures the PCI bus slots. All PCI bus slots on the system use INTA#, thus all installed PCI cards must be set to this value. PCI / Plug And Play Plug and Play Aware O/S Set this option to Yes if the operating system installed in the computer is Plug and Play-aware. The BIOS only detects and enables PnP ISA adapter cards that are required for system boot.
AR-B1690 User’s Guide 5.7 PERIPHERAL SETUP This section is used to configure peripheral features. Peripheral Setup OnBoard FDC This option enables the floppy drive controller on the AR-B1690.
