Chapter 2 Product Overview
This introduction presents general information about the XTX Architecture and the XTX 820 Computer-
On-Module (COM). After reading this chapter you should understand:
• XTX Computer-On-Module concept
• XTX 820 architecture and features
• Major components
• Connectors
• Specifications
ETX
®
Concept and XTX
™
Extension
The Embedded Technology eXtended (ETX) module concept is an off the shelf, multi vendor, singleboard-computer that integrates all the core components of a common PC and is mounted onto an application specific baseboard. ETX modules have a standardized form factor of just 95 mm x 114 mm and use an identical pin compatible connector on the four system connectors. The ETX module provides most of the PC functional requirements for any application. These functions include, but are not limited to, graphics, sound, keyboard/mouse, IDE, Ethernet, parallel, serial and USB ports. Four ruggedized connectors provide the baseboard interface and carry all the I/O signals to and from the ETX module.
Baseboard designers can utilize as little or as many of the I/O interfaces as deemed necessary. The baseboard can therefore provide all the interface connectors required to attach the system to the application specific peripherals. This versatility allows the designer to create a dense and optimized package, which results in a more reliable product while simplifying system integration. Most importantly ETX applications are scalable, which means once a product has been created there is the ability to diversify the product range through the use of different performance class ETX modules.
Simply unplug one module and replace it with another, no redesign is necessary.
XTX™ is an expansion and continuation of the well-established and highly successful ETX standard.
XTX offers the newest I/O technologies on this proven form factor. Currently, the ISA bus is found less often in modern embedded applications that offer a greater array of features. Consequently, the X2 connector for XTX replaces ISA with features that are currently not found on the ETX platform. These features include new serial high speed buses such as PCI Express™, ExpressCard, AC'97 HD audio, and
Serial ATA®. XTX also provides the AC'97 High Definition Audio (HDA) and two additional USB 2.0
ports, bringing the USB total to six USB ports. The USB 2.0 and PCI Express interfaces can also support the next generation PCMCIA card in the ExpressCard. All the other signals found on the X1,
X3, and X4 connectors remain the same in accordance with the ETX standard (Rev. 2.7) and therefore will be completely compatible. If the embedded application still requires the ISA bus, then a PCI-ISA bridge can be implemented on the application specific baseboard. If this solution is too costly then the readily available XTX LPC bus located the Ampro XTX module can be used.
ETX or XTX modules work like a high-integration chip, plugging into your custom circuit board design to provide specific control for your logic application. See Figure 2-1.

Product Description
The XTX 820 is an exceptionally high integration, high performance, rugged, and high quality
Computer-On-Module (COM), which contains all the component subsystems of a PC/AT motherboard plus the equivalent of up to 5 expansion boards. The XTX 820 is based on the ultra high performance, high-integration Intel Pentium M and Celeron M processors giving designers the choice of a complete, high performance, rugged, embedded processor based on the XTX form factor that conforms to the ETX
V2.7 specification. The module plugs into a custom baseboard which has connectors and additional circuitry to meet your application requirements.
Each XTX 820 incorporates an Intel® 915GM chipset (82915GM + 82801FBM). This includes the
Intel 82915GM Memory & Graphics Hub (Northbridge), which controls the memory and graphics interface and the Intel 82801FBM I/O Hub (Southbridge) controller for some of the important I/O functions. A Super I/O chip (83627HG) by Winbond Electronics, Corp controls most of I/O functions. Together these three chips provide four x1 PCI Express Lanes, PCI bus, two Serial ATA portsand one Ultra/DMA 33/66/100 EIDE controller for two EIDE drives, six USB 2.0 ports, one shared EPP/ECP parallel/ floppy port, two serial ports with TTL levels, one Infrared (IrDA) port,
PS/2 keyboard and mouse interfaces, and an AC’97/HDA (High Definition Audio) CODEC on the module. The XTX 820 also supports ACPI 2.0 Power Management, 10/100BaseT Ethernet interface, up to 1 GB of DDR2 RAM in a single 200-pin SODIMM socket, and a 128-bit graphics controller, which provides CRT (VGA), a dedicated LVDS port, TV Out, and two SDVO port interfaces.
The XTX 820 is particularly well suited to either embedded or portable applications and meets the size, power consumption, temperature range, quality, and reliability demands of embedded system applications. The XTX 820 requires only a single +5V power supply.

However, the listed in-rush current value is the result of placing a switch on the DC output of a fully 'ramped' power supply to give a worst-case current value, which is much higher than the standard method. This in-rush value should be regarded as a maximum design guideline, not a requisite value.
**The Burn-In-Test (BIT) current setup has CRT video, 256 MB RAM, floppy drive (1), IDE hard disk drive (1), USB hard disk drive (1), USB CD-ROM (1), serial ports with loopbacks (3), keyboard, mouse, USB compact flash card reader with compact flash card (64 MB) installed (1), USB Jumpdrive (1), and the Ethernet port (1) operating under Microsoft
® Windows®™ XP (SP2). All current measurements include the Ampro baseboard in the QuickStart Kit.

Thermal/Cooling Solutions
The Pentium/Celeron M processors used on the XTX 820 make use of the thermal monitor feature to help control the processor temperature. Refer to the Thermal Monitoring topic in Chapter 3, Hardware for more information. The maximum core operating temperature for Pentium M and Celeron M processors is 100°C. Both Pentium M and Celeron M processors and the Memory & Graphics Hub
(Northbridge) require individual heatsinks, but no fan. Ampro provides an optional heatspreader plate.
CAUTION To prevent processor overheating, you must provide an additional form of cooling when using the heatspreader provided. The heatspreader plate is not a complete thermal solution for any of the processors listed.

Chapter 3 Hardware
CPU (U1)
The XTX 820 offers three Intel processor choices; high performance 1.0 GHz Ultra Low Voltage
(ULV) Celeron M CPU, 1.4 GHz Low Voltage (LV) Pentium M CPU, or 1.8 GHz Pentium M CPU.
Celeron M Processor
The Celeron M processor (Dothan core) at 1.0 GHz has 512 kB L2 Cache with a 400 MHz FSB
(front side bus). The 1.0 GHz Celeron M 373 processor use 90 nm architecture and requires a heatsink, but no fan.
Pentium M Processors
The Pentium M 738 processor (Dothan core) at 1.4 GHz has 2 MB L2 Cache with a 400 MHz FSB
(front side bus). The 1.4 GHz Pentium M 738 processor uses 90 nm architecture and requires a heatsink, but no fan.
The Pentium M 745 processor (Dothan core) at 1.8 GHz has 2 MB L2 Cache with a 400 MHz FSB
(front side bus). The 1.8 GHz Pentium M 745 processor uses 90 nm architecture and requires a heatsink, but no fan below 60
°C.
CAUTION If you choose to use a heat-spreader plate instead of an individual heatsink for the processor, then you must provide an additional form of cooling. The heat-spreader plate is not a complete thermal solution for any of the processors listed.
Memory
The XTX 820 memory consists of the following elements:
•
DDR2 SODIMM socket
•
Flash memory
DDR2 SODIMM Socket (J5)
The XTX 820 supports a single 200-pin DDR2 SODIMM socket.
• SODIMM socket (J5) can support up to 1 GB of DDR2 memory
• Supports PC2 3200 DDR 400 operating at 400 Mbps (200 MHz, 5 ns) or faster
• Supports +1.8V SDRAM
NOTE Ampro recommends using PC2 3200 DDR2 400 (400 Mbps, 200 MHz),
+1.8V, 5 ns, 200-pin, SDRAM SODIMM, or faster. PC2 3200 provides the best performance for these Intel processors.
Flash Memory (U17)
There is an 8-bit wide, 512 kB flash device used for system BIOS and is connected to the I/O Hub
(Southbridge), through an LPC bus transceiver. The flash memory is used to store system parameters for battery-free boot capability when there is no battery present. The BIOS is re-programmable and the features supported are detailed in Chapter 4, BIOS Setup Utility.
Interrupt Channel Assignments (IRQs)
The channel interrupt assignments are listed in Table 3-1.

Serial ATA
The I/O Hub (82801FBM) provides two Serial ATA150 connections through the J2 connector. Serial
ATA is an enhancement of parallel ATA, but is not limited by the traditional restrictions of parallel
ATA. Serial ATA has higher performance characteristics with respect to speed and EMV. Serial ATA starts with a transfer rate of 150 Mbytes/s as compared to the legacy Parallel ATA devices that were limited to ATA133 (133MHz) or slower (33/66/100 MHz). In the future, it is hoped that SATA can be expanded up to 600 Mbytes/s to accommodate future advanced developments. Serial ATA is completely protocol and software compatible to parallel ATA.

LPC Interface
The LPC (Low Pin Count) bus is provided as a replacement for the increasingly less often used ISA bus.
The LPC bus is used on PC-style personal computers to connect low-bandwidth devices to the CPU, such as the boot ROM, "legacy" I/O devices (supported by a Super I/O chip), and audio controllers. The
"legacy" I/O devices usually include serial and parallel ports, keyboard, mouse, and a floppy disk controller. Due to the software compatibility of the LPC bus to the ISA bus, I/O devices such as additional serial ports can be easily implemented on an application specific baseboard using the LPC bus. There are also many devices available for the LPC bus.

Infrared (IrDA) Port
The Infrared Data Association (IrDA) port provides a two-way wireless communications port using infrared as a transmission medium at the basic level. There are two basic infrared implementations provided; the Hewlett-Packard Serial Infrared (HPSIR) and the Amplitude Shift Keyed Infrared
(ASKIR) methods. HPSIR is a serial implementation of infrared developed by Hewlett-Packard. The
IrDA (HPSIR and ASKIR) signals share Serial Port 2 with the modem and RS232 functions on the port.
This port can be enabled/disabled and configured for HPSIR or ASKIR signals in the BIOS Setup
Utility. Refer to Chapter 4, BIOS Setup Utility for more information.
The HPSIR method allows serial communication at baud rates up to 115k baud. Each word is sent serially beginning with a zero value start bit. A zero is sent when a single infrared pulse is sent at the beginning of the serial bit time. A one is sent when no infrared pulse is sent during the bit time.
The Amplitude Shift Keyed infrared (ASKIR) allows serial communication at baud rates up to 19.2k
baud. Each word is sent serially beginning with a zero value start bit. A zero is sent when a 500 kHz waveform is sent for the duration of the serial bit time. A one is sent when no transmission is sent during the serial bit time.
Both of these methods require an understanding of the timing diagrams provided in the Super I/O controller chip (W83627HG) specifications available from the manufacture’s web site and referenced earlier in this manual. For more information, refer to the Winbond Electronics, Corp. chip specifications and the Infrared Data Association web site at http://www.irda.org

Power Control Signals
The XTX 820 supports various power control signals provided by the baseboard to control the XTX module. These signals are listed here and in Tables 3-26 and 3-23.
• The Power Good input signal (PWGIN) is provided from an external input typically from the external power supply (ATX) to the baseboard. This signal is typically an active-high input to the XTX board and indicates to the XTX board it can begin the boot process. This Power Good signal can also be used as an active-low reset input to the XTX module.
• The Power Suspend signal (5V_SB) must be provided by a power supply capable of standby operation, typically an ATX power supply. The power supply must provide a 5 volt 100 ma stand-by power source for this function to be available.
• The Power On signal (PS_ON) is provided by the XTX module to the PS_ON input of an ATX power supply allowing it to switch to the main output power from a standby state. This signal is used in conjunction with the 5V_SB supplied to the XTX module from the ATX power supply.
• The Power Button Input signal (PWRBTN*) provides a ground temporarily through a momentary-contact switch or through an open collector driver to the ATX power supply. This signal is used in conjunction with the PS_ON and the 5V_SB signals from the ATX power supply to activate the power control button function of the power supply.
• A voltage monitor on the XTX 820 tracks the VCC voltage (+5 volts) state by monitoring the
+3.3V generated on the XTX module. When the +3.3V drops below 3.0V or the Reset Button signal goes low, the voltage monitor sends a reset pulse to the Memory & Graphics Hub
(Northbridge) chip (82915GM), the I/O Hub (Southbridge) chip (82801FBM), Super I/O
(W83627HG) chip and the CPU.
Power Management Signals
The XTX 820 supports various power management signals listed below and in Tables 3-20 and 3-22.
• The External System Management Interrupt (EXTSMI) signal is routed to the baseboard through
J4 to allow external circuitry to initiate an SMI for the EXT module.
• The Resume Reset input (RSMRST*) signal to the EXT module may be driven low by external control circuitry to reset the power management logic on the XTX module.
• The System Management Bus Alert input (SMBALRT*) signal is used by SMBus devices to indicate an event on the SMBus to the EXT module.
• The Battery Low input (BATLOW*) signal is used by external voltage monitoring circuitry to indicate to the XTX module that the system battery is low.
NOTE Refer also to the additional Power Management Signals on J2.
Speaker
The signal lines for a speaker port with 0.1-watt drive are provided through J4 connector to the baseboard where the speaker may be located.
• The Super I/O (83627HG) provides the speaker output signal, but the output driver circuit must be implemented on the baseboard

Real Time Clock (RTC)/Battery
The XTX 820 supports a Real Time Clock (RTC) and CMOS RAM for the BIOS Setup Utility. The
RTC and 256 byte of CMOS RAM are included inside the I/O Hub (Southbridge) chip (82801FBM).
The RTC and CMOS are powered through pin-8 (BAT) on J4 with a Lithium Battery located on the baseboard. If the battery is not present, the BIOS has a battery-free boot option to complete the boot process. .

C Bus)
The I/O Hub (82801FBM) contains an integrated SMBus controller with both a host and slave SMBus port; but the host cannot access the slave internally. The slave port allows an external master access to the I/O Hub (Southbridge) through the J4 connector. The master contained in the I/O Hub is used to communicate with the Memory & Graphics Hub, DDR2 RAM EPROM, and the clock generator.

Serial Console (Remote Access)
The XTX 820 supports the serial console (or console redirection) feature as Remote Access in the BIOS
Setup Utility. This I/O function can be accessed by an ANSI-compatible serial terminal, or the equivalent terminal emulation software running on another system. This can be very useful when setting up the BIOS on a production line for systems that are not connected to a keyboard and display.
Serial Console Setup
The serial console feature is implemented by connecting a standard null modem cable between one of the serial ports, such as Serial 1 (COM1) or Serial 2 (COM2), and the serial terminal or a PC with communications software. The BIOS Setup Utility controls the serial console settings for the XTX 820.
Refer to Chapter 4, BIOS Setup Utility for the Remote Access (serial console) settings, and the settings for the serial terminal, or PC with communications software. A brief connection procedure is also provided in Chapter 4, under Accessing BIOS Setup Utility (Remote Access).
Temperature Monitoring
Pentium/Celeron M processors make use of the thermal monitor feature to help control the processor temperature. The maximum junction operating temperature for Pentium/Celeron M processors is 100°C.
The integrated TCC (Thermal Control Circuit) activates if the processor die reaches its maximum operating temperature. The activation temperature used by the Intel Thermal Monitor activates the TCC, but cannot be configured by the user nor is it software visible.
The Thermal Monitor can control the processor temperature through the use of two different methods defined as TM1 and TM2. The TM1 method modulates (starts and stops) the processor clock at a 50% duty cycle. The TM2 method initiates an Enhanced Intel Speedstep transition to the lowest performance state once the processor silicon reaches the maximum operating temperature and is only supported by
Intel Pentium M processors. The TM2 mode should only be used for Intel Pentium M processors and is not supported by Intel Celeron M processors.
The Thermal Monitor supports two modes (Automatic and On-Demand) to activate the TCC. The Intel
Thermal Monitor Automatic Mode must be enabled through a setup node in the BIOS. No additional hardware, software, or handling routines are necessary when using Automatic Mode.
56 Reference Manual XTX 820
Chapter 3 Hardware
To ensure the impact on processor performance is reduced to a minimum, the TCC can only be active for short periods of time, which requires a properly designed thermal solution. The Intel Pentium/Celeron
M processor datasheet can provide you with more information.
The thermal trip signal is used by Intel's Pentium/Celeron M processors for catastrophic thermal protection. If the processor's silicon reaches a temperature of approximately 125°C then the processor's thermal trip signal will go active and the system will automatically shut down to prevent any damage to the processor as a result of overheating. The thermal trip signal activation is completely independent from processor activity and therefore does not produce any bus cycles.
NOTE An ATX power supply is required to make use of the thermal trip signal and automatically switch off the system.
Watchdog Timer (WDT)
The watchdog timer (WDT) restarts the system if an error or mishap occurs, allowing the system to recover from the mishap, even though the error condition may still exist. Possible problems include failure to boot properly, the application software’s loss of control, failure of an interface device, unexpected conditions on the bus, or other hardware or software malfunctions.
The WDT (watchdog timer) can be used both during the boot process and during normal system operation.
• During the Boot process – If the operating system fails to boot in the time interval set in the
BIOS, the system will reset.
The watchdog timer (WDT) is enabled and configured in the BIOS Setup Utility screen, Advanced
BIOS Features. Set the WDT for a time-out interval in seconds or minutes (between 30 sec to 30 min) in the Advanced BIOS Features screen. Ensure you allow enough time for the boot process to complete and for the OS to boot. The OS or application must tickle (reset) the WDT before the timer expires. This can be done by accessing the hardware directly or through a BIOS call.
• During System Operation – An application can set up the WDT hardware through a BIOS call, or by accessing the hardware directly. Some Ampro Board Support Packages provide an API interface to the WDT. The application must tickle (reset) the WDT before the timer expires or the system will be reset.
• Watchdog Setup – Ampro has provided a System Utility which helps you set up the WDT. The
System Utility and its user guide are located on the XTX 820 Doc & SW CD-ROM. Refer also to Ampro's Watchdog Timer Application Note.
XTX 820 Reference Manual 57

Power Input
The XTX 820 generates its own voltages on the board and only requires an external +5 volts through the four connectors (X1, X2, X3, X4) on the custom baseboard. All the XTX 820 module voltages are derived from the externally supplied +5 volts DC +/- 5%. The onboard voltages provide the CPU core voltages as well as other voltages used on the module.

NOTE If you use a non-ATX type power supply (AT or lab power supply) to power up the XTX baseboard, you must set the jumper on the Ampro XTX Baseboard for a non-ATX power supply use.
Power and Sleep States
The following information only applies if an ATX power supply is connected to the XTX 820 and its respective XTX baseboard. If a non-ATX power supply is used, then the XTX 820 is only controlled by the Power-On/Off switch on the power supply and the various sleep states are not available. The ACPI sleep states are OS dependent and not available if your OS does not support power management based on the ACPI standard. The signals used for control of the ATX power supply and sleep states in general are located in Table 3-30 and described in more detail under topics Power Control Signals and Power
Management Signals earlier in this chapter.
Power-On Switch
The Power-On switch on or connected to the XTX Baseboard, turns the XTX 820 and the attached power supply to a fully On condition, if you are using an ATX power supply. If the operating system
(OS) supports sleep states, the OS will turn off the XTX 820 and its power supply during the OS shut down process. Typically, the Power-On switch will also transition the XTX 820 and the power supply between a fully powered on state and the various sleep states, including a fully powered off state. If the
OS does not support sleep states, then the Power-On switch only turns power, On or Off, to the XTX 820 and the baseboard.
58 Reference Manual XTX 820
Chapter 3 Hardware
Typically, an OS that supports ACPI, also allows the Power-On switch to be configured through a user interface. The Power-On switch for the XTX 820 must be provided on, or connected to the baseboard.
Sleep States (ACPI)
The XTX 820 supports the ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) standard, which is a key component of certain Operating Systems’ (OS’s) power management. The supported features (sleep states) listed here are only available when an ACPI-compliant OS is used for the XTX 820, such as
Windows 2000/XP. The term “sleep state" refers to a low wake latency (reduced power consumption) state, which can be re-started (awakened) restoring full operation to the XTX 820.
In these various sleep states, the computer appears to be off, indicated by such things as no display on the attached monitor and no activity for the connected CD-ROM or hard drives. Normally, when a computer detects certain activity (i.e. power switch, mouse, keyboard, serial port, or certain types of
LAN activity), it returns to a fully operational state.
NOTE Currently, the Power-On switch, SMBus Alert, Wake-on-Ring, Wake-on-
LAN, Wake on PME, and Keyboard/Mouse activity are the only activities that will wake the XTX 820 from a powered down state (soft off), such as
Standby (S1), Suspend-to-RAM (S3), Hibernate (S4) and Power Off (S5).
However, not all of the listed activities (called "wake events") will wake each sleep state. Refer to Wake Up Activities and the XTX 820 Software and Hardware Release Notes for more information.
The XTX 820 supports at least five ACPI power states, depending on the operating system used and its ability to manage sleep states. Typically, the Power-On switch is used to wake up from a sleep state, or transition from one state to another, but this is dependent on the operating system.
• 1st state is normal Power On (S0).
♦ To go to a fully powered on state, the XTX 820 must either be powered Off (S5), or in a sleep state (S1 or S4), and then the Power-On switch is pressed for less than 4 seconds (default).
♦ The XTX 820 can transition from this state (S0) to the various states described below, depending on the power management capability of the OS and how it is programmed.
• 2nd state is a standby state (S1).
In this state there are no internal operations taking place, except for the internal RTC (real time clock) and the contents of RAM. This includes no activity for the CPU, CD-ROM, or hard disk drives. The XTX 820 appears to be off including any power-on LED indicators.
♦ Normally, to enter this sleep state, the XTX 820 must be fully powered on (S0) and the OS transitions the XTX 820 into this standby state (S1) under user control.
♦ To exit this sleep state a wake up event, such as the Power-On switch, is used to wake up the
XTX 820 and restore full operation, including any power LED indicators. Typically, pressing the Power-On switch for less than 4 seconds (default) will restore full operation.
• 3rd state is a suspend-to-RAM state (S3).
In this state there are no internal operations taking place, except for the internal RTC (real time clock) and the contents of RAM. This includes no activity for the CPU, CD-ROM, or hard disk drives. The XTX 820 appears to be off including any power LED indicators.
♦ Normally, to enter this sleep state, the XTX 820 must be fully powered on (S0) and the OS transitions the XTX 820 into this suspend-to-RAM (S3) state under user control.
♦ To exit this sleep state a wake up event, such as the Power-On switch, is used to wake up the
XTX 820 and restore full operation, including any power LED indicators. Typically, pressing the Power-On switch for less than 4 seconds (default) will restore full operation.
XTX 820 Reference Manual 59
Chapter 3 Hardware
• 4th state is a hibernate or suspend-to-disk state (S4).
In this state there are no internal operations taking place, except for the internal RTC. This includes no activity for the RAM, CPU, CD-ROM, or hard disk drives. The XTX 820 appears to be off, including any power LED indicators. Your system will take longer to wake-up in this sleep state, however, since your data is saved to the disk, it is more secure and should not be lost in the event of a power failure.
♦ To enter a hibernate or suspend-to-disk state, the XTX 820 must be fully powered on and the
OS transitions the XTX 820 into this sleep state (S4) under user control.
♦ To exit this sleep state a wake up event, such as the Power-On switch, is used to wake up the
XTX 820 and restore full operation, including any power LED indicators. Typically, pressing the Power-On switch for less than 4 seconds (default) will restore full operation.
• 5th state is the normal power Off or shutdown (S5).
All activity stops except the internal clock, unless the power cord is removed from the power source.
♦ To go to a fully powered down state (soft off), the XTX 820 must either be powered On, or in a sleep state, and then the Power-On switch is pressed for more than 4-to-6 seconds.
♦ To go to a fully powered up state, press the Power-On switch for less than 4 seconds (default) and full operation is restored.
The OS may provide additional programming features to change the activation time for each state, and to shutdown or transition the XTX 820 at certain times. Refer to the OS vender’s documentation for power management under the ACPI standard.
Wake Up Activities

Chapter 4 BIOS Setup Utility
Introduction
This chapter describes the BIOS Setup Utility menus and the various screens used for configuring the
XTX 820. Some features in the Operating System or application software may require configuration in the BIOS Setup screens.
This section assumes the user is familiar with general BIOS Setup and does not attempt to describe the
BIOS functions. Refer to the appropriate PC reference manuals for information about the onboard
ROM-BIOS software interface. If Ampro has added to or modified the standard functions, these functions will be described.
The options provided for the XTX 820 are controlled by BIOS Setup. BIOS Setup is used to configure the board, modify the fields in the Setup screens, and save the results in the onboard configuration memory. Configuration memory consists of portions of the CMOS RAM in the battery-backed real-time clock chip and the flash memory.
The Setup information is retrieved from configuration memory when the board is powered up or when it is rebooted. Changes made to the Setup parameters, with the exception of the time and date settings, do not take effect until the board is rebooted.
Setup is located in the ROM BIOS and can be accessed while the board is in the Power-On Self Test
(POST) state, just before starting the boot process. Typically, the screen displays a message indicating when you can press <Del> to enter the BIOS Setup Utility.
The XTX 820 BIOS Setup Utility is used to configure items in the BIOS using the following menus:
• Main • Security
• Advanced
• Boot
• Power
• Exit
Table 4-1 summarizes the list of BIOS menus and some of the features available for XTX 820. The
BIOS Setup menu offers the menu choices listed above and the related topics and screens are described on the following pages.
Accessing BIOS Setup Utility (VGA Display)
To access the BIOS Setup Utility using a VGA display for the XTX 820:
1. Turn on the VGA monitor and the power supply to the XTX 820 and baseboard assembly.
2. Start Setup by pressing the [Del] key, when the following message appears on the boot screen.
Hit <Del> if you want to run SETUP
NOTE If the setting for Quick Boot is set to [Enabled], you may not see this prompt appear on screen if the monitor is too slow to display it on start up. If this happens, press the <Del> key early in the boot sequence to enter the BIOS Setup Utility.
3. Use the <Enter> key to select the screen menus listed in the Opening BIOS screen. See Figure 4-1.
4. Follow the instructions at the right of each screen to navigate through the selections and modify any settings.

Chapter 4 BIOS Setup Utility
Accessing BIOS Setup Utility (Remote Access)
Once you set up the BIOS Utility for Remote Access (serial console or console redirection) in VGA mode, entering the BIOS in the remote access mode, is very similar to the method used in entering the
BIOS with a VGA display.
1. Turn on the power supply to the XTX 820 baseboard assembly and access the BIOS Setup Utility in VGA mode.
2. Set the BIOS feature Remote Access to [Enabled] under the Advanced menu.
3. Accept the default options or make your own selections for the balance of the Remote Access fields and record your settings.
4. Ensure you select the type of remote serial terminal you will be using and record your selection.
5. Select Save Changes and Exit and then shut down the XTX 820 baseboard assembly.
6. Connect the remote serial terminal (or the PC with communications software) to the COM port you selected on the XTX baseboard using a standard null-modem serial cable.
7. Turn on the remote serial terminal (or the PC with communications software) and set it to the settings you selected and recorded earlier in the BIOS Setup Utility.
COM1, 115200, 8 bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, no flow control, and always for Redirection after
BIOS Post are the default settings for the XTX 820.
8. Restore power to the XTX 820 baseboard assembly and look for the screen prompt shown below.
Hit ^C if you want to run SETUP
9. Press the CTRL–C keys early in the boot sequence if Quick Boot is set to [Enabled].
If Quick Boot is set to [Enabled], you may never see the screen prompt.
10. Use the <Enter> key to select the screen menus listed in the Opening BIOS screen. See Figure 4-1.

• ATA (PI) 80 Pin Cable Detection – [Host & Device], [Host], or [Device]
This field selects the method used to detect the ATA (PI) 80-pin cable.
∗ If [Host & Device] is selected, the BIOS uses both the onboard IDE controller and the IDE hard disk drive (HDD) to detect the type of IDE cable used.
∗ If [Host] is selected, the BIOS uses only the onboard IDE controller to detect the type of IDE cable used.
∗ If [Device] is selected, the BIOS uses only the IDE hard disk drive (HDD) to detect the type of IDE cable used.
NOTE An 80-conductor ATA cable is required when operating with Ultra
ATA/66, Ultra ATA/100 and Ultra ATA/133 IDE hard disk drives. The standard 40-conductor ATA cable cannot handle the higher speeds. Due to the plug compatibility of the 80-conductor ATA cable to the standard 40conductor ATA cable, the BIOS must have a feature to set this or determine if the 80-conductor ATA cable is present. The BIOS does this by searching for a break (open) in one of the lines in the 80-conductor
ATA cable that is normally connected in the standard 40-conductor ATA cable. If a faster speed is set in the BIOS than the connected cable can support, the BIOS instructs the IDE HDD to run at the correct (or slower) speed for the cable type detected.

• Halt On Error – [Disabled] or [Enabled]
∗ If [Disabled] is selected, this does not allow for user intervention if an error occurs. Use this setting only when a known BIOS error will appear.
∗ If [Enabled] is selected, allows the BIOS to display an Error message indicating when an error has occurred during POST (power on self test) and wait for you to respond by hitting the <F1> key. Pressing <F1> will enter Setup and the BIOS setting can be adjusted to fix the problem.
• Hit 'DEL' Message Display – [Disabled] or [Enabled]
∗ If [Disabled] is selected, the BIOS will not place the “Hit Del to enter Setup" message on screen during the boot process. If Quiet Boot is enabled, the Hit 'Del" message will not display.
∗ If [Enabled] is selected, the BIOS will place the “Hit Del to enter Setup" message on screen during the boot process, to indicate when you may press “Del” to enter the BIOS Setup menus.
• Interrupt 19 Capture – [Disabled] or [Enabled]
∗ If [Disabled] is selected, the BIOS prevents option ROMs from trapping interrupt 19.
∗ If [Enabled] is selected, allows option ROMs to trap interrupt 19.
• PXE Boot to LAN – [Disabled] or [Enabled]
Use this field to turn on the LAN Boot feature. You will also need to reboot the system to see the
Intel Boot Agent device [Onboard LAN or Network: IBA…] in the Boot Device Priority Menu, so it can be moved to the top of the boot order. Refer to Appendix B, LAN Boot Feature for more information.
• Power Loss Control – [Remain Off], [Turn On], or [Last State]
Use this field to determine how the system responds after an AC power loss, but this feature only operates with an ATX type power supply.
∗ If [Remain Off] is selected, the power is held off until the power button is pressed.
∗ If [Turn On] is selected, the power is restored to the computer, as soon as, AC power is available.
∗ If [Last State] is selected, power is restored to the previous power state before the power loss actually occurred.
NOTE This feature only operates with an ATX type power supply. The term
AC power loss used in this context refers to the loss of the standby voltage on the 5V_SB pins and is continuously monitored after the system is turned off. If the standby voltage is not detected after 30 seconds, then it is considered an AC power loss condition. If the standby voltage remains stable for 30 seconds, then it is assumed that the system was switched off properly.
If you use an inexpensive ATX power supply, you may experience a short AC power sag, where the system turns off but does not switch back on. This can occur even when the PS_ON# signal is asserted correctly by the module. In this case, the internal circuitry of the ATX power supply has become confused. Usually another AC power off/on cycle is necessary to recover from this situation.
The XTX 820 does not require a CMOS battery to support the Power
Loss Control feature.

Appendix B LAN Boot Feature
The XTX 820 COM (Computer-On-Module) provides the LAN Boot feature, which can be enabled or disabled in the XTX 820 BIOS Setup Utility. The balance of this appendix describes the LAN Boot feature and briefly describes how to use the LAN Boot feature.
Introduction
LAN Boot is supported by the single Ethernet port on the XTX 820 baseboard, and is based on the
Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE), an open industry standard. PXE (pronounced “pixie”) was designed by Intel, along with other hardware and software vendors, as part of the Wired for
Management (WfM) specification to improve management of desktop systems. This technology can also be applied to the embedded system market place. PXE turns the XTX 820 Ethernet port into boot device when connected over a network (LAN).
PXE boots the XTX 820 from the network (LAN) by transferring a "boot image file" from a server.
This image file is typically the operating system for the XTX 820, or a pre-OS agent that can perform management tasks prior to loading the image file (OS). A management task could include scanning the hard drive for viruses before loading the image file.
PXE is not operating system-specific, so the image file can load any OS. The most common application of PXE (LAN Boot) is installing an OS on a brand new device (hard disk drive) that has no operating system, (or reinstalling it when the operating system has failed or critical files have been corrupted).
Using PXE prevents the user from having to manually install all of the required software on the storage media device, (typically a hard disk drive) including the OS, which might include a stack of installation CD-ROMs. Installing from the network is as simple as connecting the XTX 820 and its baseboard to the network and powering it on. The server can be set up to detect new devices and install software automatically, thereby greatly simplifying the management of small to large numbers of systems attached to a network.
If the hard disk drive should crash, the network can be set up to do a hardware diagnostic check, and once a software-related problem is detected, the server can re-install the defective software, or all the
XTX 820 software from the server. Booting from the network also helps insure a "clean" boot, with no boot-time viruses or user-modified files. The boot files are stored on the PXE server, protected from infection and user-modification.
To effectively make use of the Ampro supplied feature (LAN Boot), the XTX 820 requires a PXE boot agent for set up and PXE components on the server side as well. These include a PXE server and
TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) server. The PXE server is designed to work in conjunction with a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. The PXE server can be shared with DHCP server or installed on a different server. This makes it possible to add PXE to an existing network without affecting the existing DHCP server or configuration. Refer to the web sites listed here for sources of PXE boot agents and server components. For a more detailed technical description of how
PXE works go to, http://www.pxe.ca
. For more detailed information concerning pre-OS agents, go to: http://www.pre-OS.com
.
Ampro provides an Intel
® PXE boot agent integrated into the XTX 820 BIOS, but does not provide the
PXE server or its components. You will need to provide your own PXE server components on a compatible PXE server, before making full use of the LAN Boot feature. After you change the BIOS settings to enable the LAN Boot feature and move it to the top of the boot order, you will need to exit
BIOS Setup, saving your settings, and reboot the system before your changes take effect. Refer to the next topic, Accessing the LAN (PXE) Boot Feature, for setup information.
XTX 800 Reference Manual 93
Appendix B LAN Boot Feature
Accessing the LAN (PXE) Boot Feature
This section describes how to access Intel's PXE Boot agent integrated into the XTX 820 BIOS Setup
Utility. This version of Intel's PXE Boot agent only supports one protocol, the Wired for
Management (WfM) 2.0 specificaton for Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE).
If there is an Ethernet connection to the baseboard and the PXE Boot to LAN option is set to Enabled in BIOS Setup, the BIOS auto detects the Ethernet connection and searches for the PXE server and boot image as soon as you boot the system. However, the LAN Boot feature should be moved to the top of the boot order, so the BIOS will detect the Ethernet connection as first boot device.
To use the LAN Boot feature, refer to this procedure:
1. Connect your LAN connection to the XTX baseboard so the BIOS will detect the Ethernet connection.
2. Power on the XTX 820 and its baseboard to access the BIOS Setup Utility.
3. Press the DEL key early in the boot process to ensure access to the BIOS Setup Utility.
4. Go to the Boot menu and scroll down to PXE Boot to LAN [Disabled] under Boot Settings
Configuration and set it to [Enabled].
5. Scroll up to the Boot Device Priority and and select the 1 st
Boot Device by pressing the <Enter> key.
You should see a list of the available options. The Ethernet connection must be moved to the top of the boot order to ensure it is the first boot device selected. Depending on the Boot Priority
Selection setting, the Ethernet connection will be listed as [Onboard LAN] for Type Base, and
[Network: IBA xx.xx.xx] for Device Base.
6. Scroll through the available selections for the 1 st
Boot Device and select [Onboard LAN] or
[Network: IBA xx.xx.x] depending on the settings.
7. Press F10 to Save and Exit the BIOS Setup.
This should reboot the system and you should see, however briefly, messages similar to the ones shown below, indicating the PXE Boot Agent is being initialized. This message will appear if
PXE Boot to LAN has been Enabled.
Initializing Intel (R) Boot Agent FE v4.x.xx
PXE v2.0 Build 0xx (WfM 2.0),
Once the PXE Boot Agent has been initialized, it will make two attempts to find and load the boot image using a DHCP server (PXE Server). If it does not locate the PXE Server, an error message will appear as it looks for another boot device. Messages similar to the ones listed below may appear, however briefly, on screen.

Appendix B LAN Boot Feature
Alternate Method of Selecting LAN Boot.
The boot process reveals an alternate method of accessing the Network (LAN Boot) if your monitor powers up quickly enough. You will see a text line similar to the one shown below immediately after the Press <Del> to enter BIOS Setup message displayed on screen.
Press F12 if you want to boot from the Network
If PXE Boot to LAN has been set to [Enabled], then you can use this feature to skip the other boot devices and go immediately to the Network (PXE Boot Agent) to boot the system.
1. If you have not set PXE Boot to LAN to [Enabled], do so before continuing.
2. Press F10 to Save and Exit the BIOS Setup.
This should reboot the system and you should see, however briefly, the PXE initialization message shown earlier.
3. Press F12 to boot the system using the LAN boot (PXE) feature.
This selects the network (Onboard LAN or Network: IDA …) ahead of the other boot devices for the current boot and you will see the text line change to the following message.
Network selected as first boot device for the current boot
Once this text message appears on screen, you should see the system going through the cycle of booting from the Network shown earlier.
