1. Introduction

1. Introduction

The IPC-BX/M360(PCI)C is an IBM PC/AT compatible, box computer designed for industrial use based on the Ultra Low Voltage Intel(R) Celeron(R) Processor 400MHz, to operate as a completely nature-cooled (fanless) system.

The IPC-BX/M360(PCI)C is smaller in size than the IPC-BX/M400(PC)H while providing assorted interfaces such as USB 2.0, 100BASE-TX, and RS-232C. It can be a compact platform based on an OS for general-purpose PCs. As this series incorporates handpicked components such as the embedded types of CPU and chipset, it excels in environmental resistance and remains in stable supply for an extended period of time. You can therefore use the box computer under severe operating conditions such as FA with ease.

For the components of this package, refer to the bundled product guide. If you discover damaged or missing items, contact your retailer.

4. BIOS Setup

Supervisor/User Password Setting

You can set either supervisor or user password, or both of then. The differences between are:

SUPERVISOR PASSWORD: can enter and change the options of the setup menus.

USER PASSWORD: just can only enter but do not have the right to change the options of the setup menus. When you select this function, the following message will appear at the center of the screen to assist you in creating a password.

ENTER PASSWORD:

Enter a password within eight characters and press the <Enter> key, and you will be prompted to confirm the password. Type the password again and press <Enter>. You may also press <Esc> to abort the selection and not enter a password.

To disable a password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to enter the password. A message will confirm the password will be disabled. Once the password is disabled, the system will boot and you can enter Setup freely.

PASSWORD DISABLED.

When a password has been enabled, you will be prompted to enter it every time you try to enter Setup.

This prevents an unauthorized person from changing any part of your system configuration.

You can also set up the password so that you are prompted to enter it whenever the system is rebooted.

This would prevent unauthorized use of your computer.

You determine when the password is required within the BIOS Features Setup Menu and its Security option. If the Security option is set to “System”, the password will be required both at boot and at entry to BIOS Setup. If set to “Setup”, prompting only occurs when trying to enter BIOS Setup.

4. BIOS Setup

Save & Exit Setup

Pressing <Enter> on this item asks for confirmation:

Save to CMOS and EXIT (Y/N)? Y

Pressing the <Y> key saves the changes made on the Setup screen to CMOS (EEPROM).

Pressing “Y” stores the selections made in the menus in CMOS(EEPROM) – a special section of memory that stays on after you turn your system off. The next time you start up your computer, the BIOS configures your system according to the value stored in CMOS(EEPROM). After saving the values the system is restarted again.

Exit Without Saving

Pressing <Enter> on this item asks for confirmation:

Quit Without Saving (Y/N)? N

Pressing the <Y> key quits Setup without saving the changes made on the Setup screen to CMOS

(EEPROM). Quitting Setup without saving leaves the last saved settings in effect, with which the system is rebooted after that.

POST Messages

During the Power On Self-Test (POST), if the BIOS detects an error requiring you to do something to fix, it will either sound a beep code or display a message.

POST Beep

The BIOS reports errors using two types of beeps when they cannot be reported with on-screen messages.

One is a long beep followed by two short beeps. This indicates an error in the video system.

The other is a repetition of a long beep, indicating a DRAM error.

User’s Manual

4. BIOS Setup

Error Messages

One or more of the following messages may be displayed if the BIOS detects an error during the POST.

CMOS checksum error

CMOS memory recording BIOS Setup information contains an invalid checksum.

This indicates that invalid data has been written to CMOS memory. The error occurs, for example, when the BIOS is upgraded or when the power is turned off while BIOS

Setup is saving data.

You can recover from the error by writing valid Setup data unless the error is caused by a fault in CMOS memory.

DISK BOOT failure

[INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER]

No boot device was found.

This message appears, for example, when the BIOS cannot find any drive from which to boot the system. Check whether a bootable device has been connected and whether the connectors and cables have been plugged correctly.

Error encountered initializing hard drive

Error initializing hard disk controller

Hard disk(s) fail (80)





The HDD (SDD) is abnormal.

These messages appear when the HDD (SDD) connected is detected to be abnormal in some way. If any of the messages is displayed, check the connection of the drive and its settings.

Primary IDE Channel no 80 conductor cable installed

Secondary IDE Channel no 80 conductor cable installed

These messages appear when the system unit cannot recognize a connected ATA100

IDE device as an ATA100 device. If either of the messages is displayed, check that

"HDD Select" in the "Advanced Chipset Features" menu has been set to "Auto Select."

Serial Port Interface

Serial port 1, 2(RS-232C port)

The BOX-PC is equipped with two RS-232C-compliant serial port connectors (SERIAL1: Serial port 1 and SERIAL2: Serial port 2). You can use BIOS Setup (described in Chapter 4) to configure an I/O address, interrupt and unused state for each of the ports independently. (The same I/O address and IRQ cannot be shared with any other device.)

Note that Serial Ports 1 and 2 are shared ports also available as the RS-422/485 and touch panel interfaces, respectively. The interfaces sharing each serial port are mutually exclusive. *1

To use the serial port for the interface other than RS-232C, see the relevant page.

*1 The serial ports are set as follows by default: SERIAL1: RS232C / SERIAL2: Touch Panel. To use Serial Port 2, run

BIOS Setup to set "Serial2 Select" in the "Advanced Chipset Features" menu to "RS232C". (See P33)

Watchdog Timer

The watchdog timer is started by output of A5 to I/O port address 4002h. A second output of A5 to the same port within the specified expiration time once again triggers the watchdog timer. If a time-out occurs, a reset or an interrupt is generated according to the 4004h port setting or an alarm is output according to the 4004h port setting.

The time-out period can be set between 1 and 255 seconds depending on the timer value setting for the

WDT counter port (4003h).

The watchdog timer stops by reading port 4002h. The alarm-out output is cancelled at the same time.

The alarm out is output from the RAS connector's PO2/WDT (12-pin) and cancelled when reset.

The alarm-out output can be set to BIOS startup by BIOS setup (see Chapter 4), watchdog timer startup, or watchdog timer time-up.
