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.
SBC-776 Safety precautions Warning! Always completely disconnect the power cord from your chassis whenever you are working on it. Do not make connections while the power is on because sensitive electronic components can be damaged by the sudden rush of power. Only experienced electronics personnel should open the PC chassis. Caution! Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before touching the CPU card. Modern electronic devices are very sensitive to static electric charges.
Installing A CPU To install the CPU, follow the instructions that came with it. If no documentation was provided, the general procedures for installing a CPU are outlined below: 1. Lubricate the pins on the CPU with lubricant for PGA devices. This makes the CPU slide in much easier and greatly reduces the chance of damaging the pins and other components. 2. Carefully align the CPU so that it is parallel to the socket.
SBC-776 Installing DRAM (DIMMs) System Memory The SBC-776 contains three sockets for 168-pin dual inline memory module (DIMM). The socket uses 3.3 V unbuffered synchronous DRAM (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 SBC-776 single board computer between 16 and 512 MB of memory. Supplementary information about DIMM SBC-776 can accept PC-133 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.
Setup keys These keys helps you navigate in Award BIOS: Up arrow Down arrow Left arrow Right arrow Esc PgUP/+ PgDn/F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 F6 F7 F8 F9 F10 44 SBC-776 User Manual Move to previous item Move to next item Move to the item in the left hand Move to the item in the right hand Main Menu: Quit and not save changes into CMOS RAM Other pages: Exit current page and return to Main Menu Increase the numeric value or make changes Decrease the numeric value or make changes General help, only for Status Page Se
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. In Case of Problems 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 that resets your system to its default configuration.
Main Setup Menu Standard CMOS Features Use this menu for basic system configuration. (Date, time, IDE, etc.) Advanced BIOS Features Use this menu to set the advanced features available on your system. Advanced Chipset Features Use this menu to change the values in the chipset registers and optimize your system’s performance. Integrated Peripherals Use this menu to specify your settings for integrated peripherals. (Primary slave, secondary slave, keyboard, mouse etc.
PnP/PCI Configuration This entry appears is your system supports PnP/PCI. 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 frequency/ voltage control. Load Fail-Safe Defaults Use this menu to load the BIOS default values for the minimal/ stable performance for your system to operate.
Standard CMOS Features 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).
The BIOS can automatically detect the specifications and optimal operating mode of almost all IDE hard drives. When you select type AUTO for a hard drive, the BIOS detects its specifications If you do not want to select drive type AUTO, other methods of 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.
- LBA (Logical Block Addressing): During drive access, 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 No diskette drive installed 360K, 5.25 in 5-1/4 inch PC-type standard drive; 360 kilobyte capacity 1.2M, 5.
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 nonfatal error, POST stops and prompts you to take corrective action.
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.
Advanced BIOS Features 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.
CPU Internal Cache/External Cache Cache memory is additional memory that is much faster than conventional DRAM (system memory). CPUs from 486-type on up contain internal cache memory, and most, but not all, modern PCs have additional (external) cache memory. When the CPU requests data, the system transfers the requested data from the main DRAM into cache memory, for even faster access by the CPU. The External Cache field may not appear if your system does not have external cache memory.
Swap Floppy Drive This field is effective only in systems with two floppy drives. Selecting enabled assigns physical drive B to logical drive A, and physical drive A to logical drive B. Boot Up Floppy Seek When Enabled, the BIOS tests (seeks) floppy drives to determine whether they have 40 or 80 tracks. Only 360-KB floppy drives have 40 tracks; drives with 720 KB, 1.2 MB, and 1.44 MB capacity all have 80 tracks.
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 Security Option If you have set a password, select whether the password is required every time the System boots, or only when you enter Setup. OS Select For DRAM>64MB-Select the operating system that is running with greater than 64MB or RAM on the system.
HDD S.M.A.R.T Capability Hard disk drives have built in problem detection capability (Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology). If a foreseen problem is about to take place, the computer will give a you a warning signal. The choice: Enable, Disable Report No FDD For WIN 95- Report no FDD for Win 95 or not.
Advanced Chipset Features SDRAM CAS Latency Time When synchronous DRAM is installed, the number of clock cycles of CAS latency depends on the DRAM timing. Do not reset this field from the default value specified by the system designer. SDRAM Cycle Time Tras/Trc Select the number of SCLKs for an access cycle. The choices: 5/7, 7/9 disable. SDRAM RAS-to-CAS Delay This field lets you insert a timing delay between the CAS and RAS strobe signals, used when DRAM is written to, read from, or refreshed.
SDRAM RAS Precharge Time If an insufficient number of cycles is allowed for the RAS to accumulate its charge before DRAM refresh, the refresh may be incomplete and the DRAM may fail to retain date. Fast gives faster performance; slow gives more stable performance. This field applies only when synchronous DRAM is installed in the system. System BIOS Cacheable Selecting Enabled allows caching of the system BIOS ROM at F0000hFFFFFh, resulting in better system performance.
AGP Graphics Aperture Size Select the size of Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) aperture. The aperture is a portion of the PCI memory address range dedicated for graphics memory address space. Host cycles that hit the aperture range are forwarded to the AGP without any translation. The choices: 32M, 64M. Display Cache Frequency Display cache frequency will allow for the level the of the share memory provided by the Intel 815E chipset to be adjusted. The settings are 100MHz and 133 MHz.
Integrated Peripherals On-Chip Primary PCI IDE The system chipset contains a PCI IDE interface with support for two IDE channels. Select Enabled to activate the primary and/or secondary IDE interface. Select Disabled to deactivate this interface, if you install a primary and/or secondary add-in IDE interface. On-Chip Secondary PCI IDE The chipset contains a PCI IDE interface with support for two IDE channels. Select Enabled to activate the secondary IDE interface.
IDE Primary/Secondary Master/Slave UDMA Ultra DMA/33 implementation is possible only if your IDE hard drive supports it and the operating environment includes a DMA driver (Windows 95 OSR2 or a third-party IDE bus master driver). If your hard drive and your system software both support Ultra DMA/33, select Auto to enable BIOS support. The choices: Auto, disable USB Controller Select Enabled if your system contains a Universal Serial Bus controller and you have USB peripherals.
16-bit I/O Recovery Time The I/O recovery mechanism adds bus clock cycles between PCIoriginated I/O cycles to the ISA bus. This delay takes place because the PCI bus is much faster than the ISA bus. This field lets you add recovery time (in bus clock cycles) for 16-bit I/O. The choice: 1 SYSCLK, 2SYSCLK, 3SYSCLK, 4 SYSCLK IDE HDD Block Mode Block mode is also called block transfer, multiple commands, or multiple sector read/write.
Hot Key Power On Simply pressing on the pre-selected keyboard key the system will power on. 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 IrDA 1.0 Infrared port compliant with IrDA 1.
Onboard Serial Ports (1, 2) 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.
Watch Dog Timer You can enable the system watchdog timer, a hardware timer that generates either an NMI or a reset when the software that it monitors does not respond as expected each time the watch dog polls it ( select the time period in a separate field ) The choice: Disabled, 20 sec, 30 sec, 40 sec, 50 sec, 1 min, 2 min, 4 min.
Power Management Setup ACPI Function This item allows you to enable/disable the Advanced Configuration and Power Management (ACPI). The Choices: Enable/Disable ACPI Suspend Type This item will set which ACPI suspend type will be used. S1 (POS) The S1 sleeping state is low wake-up latency sleeping state. In this state, no system context is lost (CPU or chip set) and hardware maintains all system context.
Power Management This category allows you to select the type ( or degree ) of power saving and is directly related to the following modes: 1. HDD Power Down 2. Doze Mode 3. Suspend Mode Disable (Default) No power management. Disable all four modes. Min. Power Saving Minimum power managemen. Doze mode = 1 hour. Standby mode = 1 hour. Suspend mode = 1 hour. HDD Power Down =15 minutes. Max.Power Saving Maximum power management- - O NLY AVAI LABLE FO R SL CPU’S. Dose mode = 1 min., Standby mode = 1 min.
Video Off In Suspend 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. In this case the video hardware can be selected to shut off after a period of system inactivity. This determines the manner in which the monitor is blanked. Suspend Type Select the suspend type. The choice: PWRON suspend, Stop Grant MODEM use IRQ This determines the IRQ in which the MODEM can use.
USB KB Wake-up From S3 This option is used to Enabled/Disabled USB keyboard wake up with suspend to RAM. The Choice: Enabled/Disabled Power On after Power Fail After initial power failure, the system will attempt to power up again in the setting that the end user has selected. The Choice: ON/OFF/Former status CPU Thermal-Throttling Select the CPU Thermal-Throttling rate for your system. The choice: 12.5%, 25%, 37.5%, 50%, 62.5% 75%, 87.
PM events are I/O events whose occurrence can prevent the system from entering a power saving mode or can awaken the system from such a mode. In effect, the system remains alert for anything which occurs to a device which is configured as Enabled, even when the system is in a power down mode.
PnP/PCI Configurations PNP OS Installed This item allows you to determine whether the PnP OS is installed or not. Select Yes if the system operating environment is Plug and Play aware. The settings are Yes or No. Reset Configuration Data Normally, you leave this field disabled. Select enabled to reset Extended System Configuration Data (ESCD) when you exit Setup if you have installed a new add-on and the system reconfiguration has caused such a serious conflict that the operating system can not boot.
Resources Controlled By The Award Plug and Play BIOS has the capacity to automatically configure all of the boot and Plug and Play compatible devices. However, this capability means absolutely nothing unless you are using a Plug and Play operating system such as Windows ® 95. If you set this field to “manual” choose specific resources by going into each of the sub menu that follows this field ( a sub menu is proceeded by a “>”. The choices: Auto, Manual.
