BIOS Setup

4.1 Introduction

This chapter discusses the Setup program built into the BIOS. The

Setup program allows users to configure the system. This configuration is then stored in battery-backed CMOS RAM so that it retains the Setup information while the power is off.

4.2 Starting Setup

The BIOS is immediately active when you turn on the computer.

While the BIOS is in control, the Setup program can be activated in one of two ways:

1. By pressing <Del> immediately after switching the system on, or

2. by pressing the <Del> key when the following message appears briefly at the bottom of the screen during the POST (Power On

Self-Test).

Press DEL to enter SETUP.

If the message disappears before you respond and you still wish to enter Setup, restart the system to try again by turning it OFF then ON or pressing the "RESET" button on the system case. You may also restart by simultaneously pressing <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and <Delete> keys.

If you do not press the keys at the correct time and the system does not boot, an error message will be displayed and you will again be asked to...

PRESS F1 TO CONTINUE, DEL TO ENTER SETUP

24

4.3 Using Setup

In general, you can use the arrow keys to highlight items, press

<Enter> to select, use the PageUp and PageDown keys to change entries, press <F1> for help and press <Esc> to quit. The following table provides more details about how to navigate in the Setup program using the keyboard.

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 DRAM and the external cache.

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. The default settings have been chosen because they provide the best operating conditions for your system. The only time you might consider making any changes would be if you discovered that data was being lost while using your system.

DRAM Settings

The first chipset settings deal with CPU access to dynamic random access memory (DRAM). The default timings have been carefully chosen and should only be altered if data is being lost. Such a scenario might well occur if your system had mixed speed DRAM chips installed so that greater delays may be required to preserve the integrity of the data held in the slower memory chips.

DRAM Timing By SPD

This item allows you to select the value in this field, depending on whether the board has paged DRAMs or EDO (extended data output) DRAMs.

37

The Choice:

Enabled, Disabled.

DRAM Clock

This item allows you to control the DRAM speed.

The Choice: Host Clock, HCLK-33M, HCLK+33M.

SDRAM Cycle Length

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.

The Choice: 2, 3.

Memory Hole

In order to improve performance, certain space in memory is reserved for

ISA cards. This memory must be mapped into the memory space below

16MB.

The Choice: 15M-16M, Disabled.

P2c/C2P Concurrency

This item allows you to enable/disable the PCI to CPU, CPU to PCI concurrency.


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.


OnChip USB

This should be enabled if your system has a USB installed on the system board and you want to use it. Even when so equipped, if you add a higher performance controller, you will need to disable this feature.


USB Keyboard Support

38

Select Enabled if your system contains a Universal Serial Bus (USB) controller and you have a USB keyboard.


OnChip Sound

This item allows you to control the onboard AC 97 audio

.

The Choice: Auto, Disabled.

CPU to PCI Write Buffer

When this field is Enabled, writes from the CPU to the PCI bus are buffered, to compensate for the speed differences between the CPU and the PCI bus.

When Disabled, the writes are not buffered and the CPU must wait until the write is complete before starting another write cycle.

The Choice: Enabled,Disabled.

PCI Dynamic Bursting

When Enabled, every write transaction goes to the write buffer. Burstable transactions then burst on the PCI bus and nonburstable transactions don’t.


PCI Master 0 WS Write

When Enabled, writes to the PCI bus are executed with zero wait states.


PCI Delay Transaction

The chipset has an embedded 32-bit posted write buffer to support delay transactions cycles. Select Enabled to support compliance with PCI specification version 2.1.


PCI#2 Access #1 Retry

When disabled, PCI#2 will not be disconnected until access finishes (difault).

When enabled, PCI#2 will be disconnected if max retries are attempted without success.


Memory Parity/ECC Check

This item enabled to detect the memory parity and Error Checking &

Correcting.

The Power Management Setup allows you to configure you system to most effectively save energy while operating in a manner consistent with your own style of computer use.

ACPI Function

This item allows you to enable/disable the Advanced Configuration and Power Management (ACPI).


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 :

When enabled and after the set time of system inactivity, the hard disk drive will be powered down while all other devices remain active.

2. Doze Mode:

When enabled and after the set time of system inactivity, the CPU clock will run at slower speed while all other devices still operate at full speed.

44

3. Suspend Mode:

When enabled and after the set time of system inactivity, all devices except the CPU will be shut off.

There are four selections for Power Management, three of which have fixed mode settings.

Disable (default) No power management. Disables all four modes

Min. Power Saving Minimum power management. Doze Mode = 1 hr. Standby Mode = 1 hr., Suspend Mode = 1 hr., and HDD Power Down = 15 min.

Max. Power Saving Maximum power management -- ONLY

AVAILABLE FOR SL CPU’s. Doze Mode = 1

User Defined min., Standby Mode = 1 min., Suspend Mode =

1 min., and HDD Power Down = 1 min.

Allows you to set each mode individually.

When not disabled, each of the ranges is from

1 min. to 1 hr. except for HDD Power Down which ranges from 1 min. to 15 min. and disable.

PM Control by APM

When enabled, an Advanced Power Management device will be activated to enhance the Max. Power Saving mode and stop the CPU internal clock. If

Advance Power Management (APM) is installed on your system, selecting

Yes gives better power savings.

If the Max. Power Saving is not enabled, this will be preset to No.

The choice: Yes, No.

Video Off Option

When enabled, this feature allows the VGA adapter to operate in a power saving mode.

Always On

Suspend --> Off

All Modes --> Off

Monitor will remain on during power saving modes.

Monitor blanked when the systems enters the Suspend mode.

Monitor blanked when the system enters any power saving mode.

Video Off Method

This determines the manner in which the monitor is blanked.

V/H SYNC+Blank This selection will cause the system to turn off

45

Blank Screen

DPMS Support the vertical and horizontal synchronization ports and write blanks to the video buffer.

This option only writes blanks to the video buffer.

Select this option if your monitor supports the

Display Power Management Signaling (DPMS) standard of the Video Electronics Standards to select video power management values.

MODEM Use IRQ

This determines the IRQ in which the MODEM can use.

The choice: 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, NA.

Soft-Off by PWRBTN

Pressing the power button for more than 4 seconds forces the system to enter the Soft-Off state when the system has “hung.”

The choice: Delay 4 Sec, Instant-Off.

State After Power Failure

State after power is re-applied

The choice: Auto, On, Off.

Wake Up Event

Wake Up 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 On, even when the system is in a power down mode.

VGA

When On, you can set the VGA awakens the system.

LPT & COM

When On of LPT & COM, any activity from one of the listed system peripheral devices or IRQs wakes up the system.

HDD & FDD

46

When On of HDD & FDD, any activity from one of the listed system peripheral devices wakes up the system

.

PCI Master

When On of PCI Master, any activity from one of the listed system peripheral devices wakes up the system.

Wake Up On LAN/Ring

An input signal on the serial Ring Indicator (RI) line (in other words, an incoming call on the modem) and LAN WOL awakens the system from a soft off state.

RTC Alarm Resume

When Enabled, your can set the date and time at which the RTC (real-time clock) alarm awakens the system from Suspend mode.

The following is a list of IRQ’s, Interrupt ReQuests, which can be exempted much as the COM ports and LPT ports above can. When an I/O device wants to gain the attention of the operating system, it signals this by causing an IRQ to occur. When the operating system is ready to respond to the request, it interrupts itself and performs the service.

When set On, activity will neither prevent the system from going into a power management mode nor awaken it.

When you press <Enter> on this item you get a confirmation dialog box with a message similar to:

Load Optimized Defaults (Y/N) ? N

Pressing ‘Y’ loads the default values that are factory settings for optimal performance system operations.

4.14 Supervisor/User Password Setting

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

52

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.

PASSWORD:

Type the password, up to eight characters in length, and press

<Enter>. The password typed now will clear any previously entered password from CMOS memory. You will be asked 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.

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.

Additionally, when a password is enabled, you can also require the

BIOS to request a password every time your 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 (see Section 3). If the

Security option is set to password will be required both at boot and at entry to Setup. If set to “Setup”, prompting only occurs when trying to enter Setup.

4.15 Exit Selecting

Save & Exit Setup

53

Pressing <Enter> on this item asks for confirmation:

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

Pressing “Y” stores the selections made in the menus in

CMOS – a special section of memory that stays on after you turn your system off. The next time you boot your computer, the BIOS configures your system according to the Setup selections stored in CMOS. 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)? Y

This allows you to exit Setup without storing in CMOS any change. The previous selections remain in effect. This exits the Setup utility and restarts your computer.

Appendix A. Watch-Dog Timer

The WatchDog Timer is a device to ensure that standalone systems can always recover from abnormal conditions that cause the system to crash. These conditions may result from an external EMI or a software bug. When the system stops working, hardware on the board

54

will perform hardware reset (cold boot) to bring the system back to a known state.

Three I/O ports control the operation of WatchDog Timer.

443 (hex)

443 (hex)

Write

Read

Set WatchDog Time period

Enable the refresh the Watchdog Timer.

043/843 (hex) Read Disable the Watchdog Timer.

Prior to enable the Watchdog Timer, user has to set the time-out period. The resolution of the timer is 1 second and the range of the timer is from 1 sec to 255 sec. You need to send the time-out value to the I/O port – 443H, and then enable it by reading data from the same

I/O port – 443H. This will activate the timer that will eventually time out and reset the CPU board. To ensure that this reset condition won’t occur, the Watchdog Timer must be periodically refreshed by reading the same I/O port 443H. This must be done within the time-out period that is set by the software, please refer to the example program.

Finally, we have to disable the Watchdog timer by reading the I/O port

-- 843H or 043H. Otherwise the system could reset unconditionally.

A tolerance of at least 5% must be maintained to avoid unknown routines in the operating system (DOS), such as disk I/O that can be very time-consuming. Therefore if the time-out period has been set to

10 seconds, the I/O port 443H must be read within 7 seconds.

Example assembly program:

TIMER_PORT = 443H

TIMER_START = 443H

TIMER_STOP = 843H

Appendix B. E

Key™ Function

The ROCKY-3742EVFG provides an outstanding E

2

KEY™ function for system integrator. Based on the E

2

KEY™, you can free to store the ID Code, Password or Critical Data in the

1Kbit EEPROM. Because the EEPROM is nonvolatile memory, you don’t have to worry for losing very important data.

Basically the E

2

KEY™ is based on a 1Kbit EEPROM which is configured to 64 words(from 0 to 63). You could access (read or write) each word at any time.

When you start to use the E

2

KEY™ you should have the utility in the package. The software utility will include four files as follows,

README.DOC

E2KEY.OBJ

EKEYDEMO.C

EKEYDEMO.EXE.

The E2KEY.OBJ provides two library functions for user to integrate their application with E

2

KEY™ function. These library (read_e2key and write_e2key) are written and compiled in C language. Please check the following statement, then you will know how to implement it easily.

unsigned int read_e2key(unsigned int address)

/* This function will return the E

2

KEY™’s data at address.

The address range is from 0 to 63. Return data is one word,16 bits

*/void write_e2key(unsigned int address,unsigned data)

/* This function will write the given data to E

2

KEY™ at certain address. The address range is from 0 to 63. The data value is from 0 to 0xffff. */

57

To easily start to use the function, please refer to the included

EKEYDEMO.C code at first.

Appendix D. ATX Power Supply

The following notes show how to connect ATX Power Supply to the backplanes and / or the ISBC card.

A. For backplanes with ATX Connector

1. Please, disconnect the AC cord of the Power Supply from the AC source to prevent sudden electric surge to the board.

2. Please, check the type of your CPU board. All CPU board listed on the next page support ATX power supply but has two types of power switch connection:

2.1. ROCKY-3742EVFG (through Power Button & GND):

Connect the ATX power button switch to the pin 1 (power button) and pin 2 (+5VSB) of CN26 on the board. And connect the power cable from CN4 of backplane to CN27 of CPU card.

If you want to turn ON the system, just press the button once.

And If you want to turn off the power supply, please press the

ATX power switch button for about 4 seconds.

61

B. For the backplanes with ATX power supply connector

For some SBC without ATX power ON/OFF function, then you can control the ATX power supply through backplane’s PS ON connector. Refer to the figure below: for the backplanes with ATX connector, the connection can be made simply as following:

1. Connect the ON/OFF (ordinary one) switch to Pin 2 (PS ON) and

Pin 3 (GND) of connector CN2

2. You may now turn the power ON/OFF by the power switch

Appendix E. How to use Wake-Up

Function

62

The ROCKY-3742EVFG provides two kind of Wake Up Function.

This page describes how to use Modem Wake-Up and LAN Wake-Up function.

Wake-Up function is working while you use ATX power supply,

Wake-Up By Modem Ring On:

You must set the option Wake Up On LAN/Ring of CMOS

SETUP to be enabled. The ATX power supply will be switched on when there is a ring signal detected on pin “RI” of serial port.

Wake-Up On LAN (for Intel 82559 LAN-chip):

You must set the option Wake Up On LAN/Ring of CMOS

SETUP to be enabled. When your computer is in power-down status, you can see LAN Link/Active LED is flashing. This status indicates that the LAN chip has entered standby mode and waits for Wake-Up signal. You can use other computers to wake up your computer by sending ID to it.

ID: ID is the address of your system LAN. Every LAN chip has a factory- set ID which you can find it from network information in

WINDOWS.

ID’s format is xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx

Example ID: 00905C21D4
