They are Notes, Cautions, and Warnings. The following is an example of each type of advisory. Use caution when servicing any electrical component. Note: A Note indicates information that will help you make better use of the system. . CAUTION A CAUTION indicates potential damage to hardware and tells you how to avoid the problem. WARNING A WARNING indicates the potential for bodily harm and tells you how to avoid the problem. Disclaimer: We have tried to identify all situations that may pose a warning or caution condition in this manual. However, ICS Advent does not claim to have covered all situations that might require the use of a Caution or Warning. Advisory Conventions xiii Safety Instructions Before handling the Endeavor Plus single board computer, read the following instructions and safety guidelines to prevent damage to the product and to ensure your own personal safety. Refer to the “Advisories” section for advisory conventions used in this manual, including the distinction between Warnings, Cautions, and Notes. � Always use caution when handling/operating the computer. Only qualified, experienced, authorized electronics service personnel should access the interior of the computer. The power supplies produce high voltages and energy hazards, which can cause bodily harm. � Use extreme caution when installing or removing components. Refer to the installation instructions in this manual for precautions and procedures. If you have any questions, please contact ICS Advent Post-Sales Technical Support. WARNING High voltages are present inside the chassis when the unit’s power cord is plugged into an electrical outlet. Turn off system power, turn off the power supply, and then disconnect the power cord from its source before removing the chassis cover. Turning off the system power switch does not remove power to components. When Working Inside a Computer Before taking covers off a computer, perform the following steps: 1) Turn off the computer and any peripherals. 2) Disconnect the computer and peripherals from their power sources to prevent electric shock or system board damage. xiv Preface Preface 3) Follow the guidelines provided in “Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge” on the following page. 4) Disconnect any telephone or telecommunications lines from the computer. In addition, take note of these safety guidelines when appropriate: � To help avoid possible damage to system boards, wait five seconds after turning off the computer before removing a component, removing a system board, or disconnecting a peripheral device from the computer. � When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain-relief loop, not on the cable itself. Some cables have a connector with locking tabs. If you are disconnecting this type of cable, press in on the locking tabs before disconnecting the cable. As you pull connectors apart, keep them evenly aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. Also, before connecting a cable, make sure both connectors are correctly oriented and aligned. CAUTION Do not attempt to service the system yourself except as explained in this manual. Follow installation and troubleshooting instructions closely. Safety Instructions xv Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge Static electricity can harm system boards. Perform service at an ESD workstation and follow proper ESD procedure to reduce the risk of damage to components. ICS Advent strongly encourages you to follow proper ESD procedure, which can include wrist straps and smocks, when servicing equipment. You can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD): � When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not remove the component’s antistatic packing material until you are ready to install the component in a computer. Just before unwrapping the antistatic packaging, be sure you are at an ESD workstation or grounded. � When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic container or packaging. � Handle all sensitive components at an ESD workstation. If possible, use antistatic floor pads and workbench pads. � Handle components and boards with care. Don’t touch the components or contacts on a board. Hold a board by its edges or by its metal mounting bracket. xvi Preface Preface When Operating a Computer When operating a computer, observe the following operating guidelines: � To help prevent electric shock, plug computer power cables into properly grounded power sources. Use cables equipped with three-prong plugs to ensure proper grounding. Do not use adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong from the cable. � Be sure nothing rests on chassis cables and that cables are not located where they can be stepped on or tripped over. � Keep objects out of chassis openings. This can cause fire or electric shock by shorting out interior components. � Keep chassis away from radiators and heat sources. Do not block cooling vents or place chassis in a closed-in wall unit. � To help protect chassis from sudden, transient increases and decreases in electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or uninterruptible power supply (UPS). � Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that circuit overloading might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern. � The ambient temperature within the rack may be greater than room ambient temperature. Installation should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation is not compromised. Consideration should be given to the maximum rated ambient temperature. Safety Instructions xvii Rack Stability Installation should be such that a hazardous stability condition is not achieved due to uneven loading. The chassis should be secured to the rack frame with retaining screws when it is slid in the rack. This will prevent the chassis from sliding forward on the slide rails if the cabinet is tilted or vibrated, resulting in possible mechanical or electrical damage to the system or injury to personnel. WARNING There is a real danger of a rack toppling if a heavy chassis is extended on its slide rails from the rack. ICS Advent strongly recommends you anchor the mounting rack to the floor or wall to prevent this from happening.

The onboard super I/O chip, W83627HF, supports a PS/2 keyboard/mouse, two UARTs, FDC, Hardware Monitor, Parallel Port, Watchdog Timer, and Infrared interface. In addition, two onboard devices (such as SCSI and LAN) give the user a more flexible and reliable application in a highly integrated environment. The CPU socket adopts the Socket 370 type to support high availability, reliability, and easy operation in general industry applications. The 82810E Hub provides an integrated memory controller and graphics capability (Direct AGP). To deliver AGP class graphics performance to computers at a reduced cost. It dynamically allocates and de-allocates system memory for complex 3D textures, preserving the benefits of standard AGP add-in solutions. Its 64-bit AGTL+ based host bus interface, optimized 64-bit DRAM interface supports two 3.3V DIMMs at the maximum bus frequency of 100 MHz. The 32-bit PCI bus interface supports four PCI masters for external backplane support. The 82801AA Hub employs the Accelerated Controller Hub architecture which makes a direct connection from the graphics and memory to the IDE controllers, the Dual USB ports, and the PCI cards. It supports two-channel dedicated Ultra DMA-33/66 IDE master interfaces, full Plug-n-Play compatibility, APIC (Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller) interface, and internal real-time clock (RTC) to maintain the time and date of a system. It also supports a two- port USB (Universal Serial Bus) interface and PCI 2.1 Compliance operation. The Hub fully supports Operating System Directed Power Management via the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) specification. It is also linked via the Firmware Hub Link bus to 82802AB Firmware Hub to support BIOS read/write access. Through the PCI bus, the PC87200 PCI-to-ISA bridge is built as a highly integrated PCI-to-ISA bridge solution for the best industry applications. 1 This option is available with Omnix backplanes only. This option must be disabled in 7000, 8000, and 9000 Series systems. 1-10 Introduction Introduction The Super I/O chip W83627HF integrates two high speed serial ports, one parallel port, an SIR interface, a Watchdog Timer (WDT) which is enabled by jumper settings and triggered by software, H/W monitoring, FDD interface, and an 8042 keyboard controller with PS/2 mouse ports. This parallel port supports one PC-compatible printer port (SPP, bi-direction), Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP), and Extended Capabilities Port (ECP). The PCI-to-ISA bridge supports a standard 16-bit ISA bus interface. The Endeavor Plus supports the DiskOnChip (DOC) for the M-systems Flash Disk, ISA buffer driving for special I/ O applications and multi-ISA slots. In addition, an advanced feature is used on the Endeavor Plus to support detection and monitoring of the system temperature, operating voltage, and fan status. The 82802 Firmware Hub stores system BIOS and video BIOS, eliminating a redundant, non-volatile memory component. There are two onboard PCI devices (VES model only): the Ultra-160/m SCSI interface and the Fast Ethernet port. These devices support the full functionality of the Endeavor Plus all-in-one single board computer. The onboard SCSI device uses an Adaptec AIC-7892B Ultra-160/m SCSI controller to support one 68-pin condensed connector with 160MB/sec maximum data transfer. The other onboard PCI device (VE and VES models only), the LAN port, is powered by the Intel 82559 10/100 Ethernet Controller supports Fast Ethernet interface through the RJ- 45 port. The 810e built-in Graphics Controller supports high end graphics accelerators. It is implemented with high performance SGRAM 4MB to support color depths and high resolution up to 1600 x 1200 with 256 colors.

Socket 370 Celeron/Pentium III Processor Installing a CPU After shutting down the system, disconnecting power, and taking the CPU board to an ESD workstation, follow the these steps: 1) Lift the lever of the CPU socket outwards and upwards to the fully open position. 2) Align the processor pins with the pin holes on the socket. Make sure that the notched corner or dot mark (pin 1) of the CPU corresponds to the socket’s bevel end. Then press the CPU gently until it fits into place. If this operation is not easy or smooth, don’t do it forcibly. 3) Push down the lever to lock the processor chip (CPU) into the socket. 4) Follow the installation guide for the CPU cooling fan or heat sink to mount the fan or heat sink on the CPU surface and lock it on the socket 370. Removing a CPU After shutting down the system, disconnecting power, and taking the CPU board to an ESD workstation, follow the these steps: 1) Unlock the cooling fan first. 2) Lift the lever of the CPU socket outwards and upwards to the fully open position. Overview 3-3 3) Carefully lift up the existing CPU to remove it from the socket. 4) Follow the steps of installing a CPU to install another one, or push the handling bar down to close the opened socket. Configuring the System Bus Please note that the Endeavor Plus will automatically detect the system bus based on the CPU used. 3-4 System Installation System Installation Main Memory The Endeavor Plus has two 168-pin DIMM slots that hold up to 512MB of 3.3V SDRAM. Memory must be a PC100-compliant memory chip at a FSB clock frequency of 100MHz. For best compatibility, procure tested memory modules from ICS Advent. If you need to source memory from an outside vendor, choose well known suppliers such as Micron, Kingston, or Crucial. A single or double-sided DIMM can be used. The two DIMMs can be any size up to 256MB. Ensure adequate memory module contact and lock integrity with the DIMM socket. This will impact the system reliability. Follow the normal procedure to install an SDRAM module into the memory socket. Before locking the DIMM into place, make sure that the module has been fully inserted into the DIMM slot. Note: (1) For maintaining system stability, do not change any of the SDRAM parameters in BIOS setup to upgrade your system performance without acquiring technical information. (2) Due to the Intel 810e chipset, ECC or buffered (registered) SDRAM is not supported. If ECC SDRAM is used, the system will respond with a warning message indicating that this type of SDRAM will not benefit the system. Buffered (registered) SDRAM will simply freeze up the system if installed. Main Memory 3-5 Installing the Single Board Computer CAUTION Be sure to take proper care electrostatic precautions before starting any work. CAUTION Ensure the single board computer is properly inserted and secured to the chassis so contacts remain in place. To install the Endeavor Plus single board computer into a standard chassis or a proprietary environment, perform the following steps: 1) Ensure that all jumper settings are in their proper position. 2) Install and configure the CPU and memory module(s) in the right position. 3) Place the Endeavor Plus into the determined position in your system. 4) Attach cables to existing peripheral devices as appropriate and secure them to the . chassis with the screw on the L-bracket AIC-7892 Ultra-160/m SCSI Host Adapter The following table shows how to enable and disable the onboard Ultra-160 SCSI function using JP4. The 7892 SCSI driver is in the SCSI directory of the Endeavor Plus CD. JP4 FUNCTION 1-2 Enable onboard SCSI 2-3 Disable onboard SCSI 3-6 System Installation System Installation Onboard Intel 810e Graphics Controller The Intel 810e chipset is the result of a new design approach to optimize the shared memory architecture while maintaining the cost benefits of integration through Direct AGP and Dynamic Video Memory Technology. If no additional VGA card is inserted in any of the ISA/PCI slots, the onboard Intel 810e graphics controller will provide the system display output. However, the system will, by default, switch to an external VGA adapter if one is present. The VGA driver is in the VGA directory of the Endeavor Plus CD. � For Windows 95/98, use the installation files in Drivers\Graphics\Win9x. Execute “setup.exe” to complete driver installation. � For Windows NT 4.0, user the installation files in Drivers\Graphics\Winnt4. Execute “setup.exe” to complete driver installation. Intel 82559 Fast Ethernet Controller The following table shows how to enable and disable the onboard Intel 82559 LAN function using JP15. The 82559 LAN driver is in the Ethernet directory of the Endeavor Plus CD. JP15 FUNCTION 1-2 Enable onboard LAN 2-3 Disable onboard LAN Installing the Single Board Computer 3-7 Onboard LED Indicator The Endeavor Plus has three LED indicators for LAN interface status. LAN speed LED (left side) : ON = 100Mbps activity OFF = 10Mbps activity LAN active LED (middle) : ON = Tx/Rx activity OFF = no activity LAN Link Integrity LED (right side) : ON = link is good in either 10 or 100 Mbps OFF = link is bad 810e Chipset & ATA-66 A few hardware features of the 810e chipset are, by default, not recognized by Windows 95/98. Load the 810e INF (Incremental Fix) patches to bring up the drivers so the operating system will recognize these hardware features. The INF driver is in the IDE/INF directory of the Endeavor Plus CD. (Note: This driver only supports Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows 98 Second Edition). Execute “setup.exe” to complete the driver installation. Also, the 810e chipset supports the ATA-66 mode, which requires the ATA-66 driver for the real ATA-66 to function properly. The ATA-66 driver is in the IDE directory. After installation, simply select from the Windows Start menu as “Program / Intel Ultra ATA Storage / Companion” to bring up the user interface. Click on the device available at the left pane and it will simply prompt the corresponding device information at the right pane. Note: (1) This driver only supports Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, and Windows NT 4.0. (2) For correct operation of ATA-66, use an 80-pin IDE cable instead of a 40-pin IDE cable for IDE devices to avoid unstable performance. 3-8 System Installation System Installation Winbond Hardware Doctor Software The hardware monitor software, “HWDOCTOR”, is provided on the CD. This software detects system information and reports it through a GUI. Information detected includes: � CPU Vcore, Vcc1.8, Vcc3.3, and system DC voltage � System and CPU temperature A warning message and beeping will occur if the current reading is outside of the upper and lower boundary values. System information, may be monitored and boundary values can be configured online through the graphical user interface (GUI). This software works with Windows 95/98 and Windows NT 4.0. Flash BIOS The following table shows how to enable and disable the Firmware Hub protection using JP7. To flash in a new BIOS file into the BIOS chip, disable the protection first. JP7 FUNCTION NA Enable protection Short Disable protection Installing the Single Board Computer 3-9 M-systems Flash Disk The Endeavor Plus includes one 32-pin DIP socket for installing an M-systems Flash Disk from 2MB to 144MB.The DiskOnChip is not a Plug-n-Play device; its address must be manually selected using JP12. Before installing, make certain that the memory window address jumper setting (JP12) is set on the right position to prevent system conflicts. Follow the DOC (DiskOnChip) installation procedure below. Otherwise, the Flash chip may be damaged due to incorrect installation. Installing DiskOnChip (DOC) Align the DiskOnChip (DOC) with the pin holes on the socket. Ensure that the notched corner or dot mark (pin 1) of the DOC corresponds to the notched corner of the socket. Press down on the DOC gently until it fits into place. If the installation procedure is correctly performed, the Flash disk can be viewed as a normal hard disk to access read/write data. CAUTION Ensure that the DOC is inserted properly. Inserting the DOC backwards will damage it. The Endeavor Plus will instruct the user to install and utilize DOC for practical application. If you want to boot from this Flash disk, refer to the application note from M-systems. You can easily get relatively advanced information from M-systems’ shipping package (such as the product manual) or their Web site http://www.m-sys.com. 3-10 System Installation System Installation Watchdog Timer (WDT) Programming System will reset if no retrigger signal has been given after the set time interval Enable WDT Function The following table shows how to enable and disable the Watchdog Timer (WDT) circuit using JP16. JP16 FUNCTION Short Enable WDT NA Disable WDT This will prepare the WDT circuit to be ready for the trigger. The WDT is now in standby mode. Without adding this jumper, the WDT circuit is always turned off. Initialize, Re-trigger, and Stop WDT With the WDT enabled, you may configure the “Watchdog Timer Controller” option in BIOS to determine when the WDT will be initialized. Enabled = Automatically initialize WDT when booting up. Disabled = Manually initialize WDT by software at run-time After you initialize the WDT, the system will reboot if no re-trigger signal is given within a time-out interval. There are two methods to program the time-out interval. One is to specify it in the BIOS (Advanced Chipset Setup) and the other is through software programming over the super I/O W83627HF chip. The first way is recommended and easier but has fewer choices of time-out intervals. BIOS provides only eight possible ranges of timeout intervals ranging from 1 second to 60 minutes. The second method is more difficult and complicated, but provides more choices of time-out intervals. A test program is available in Appendix A, "WDT Programming". The program allows users to specify a refresh interval and the system will simply stay on if the selected refresh interval is less than the time-out interval specified in BIOS. Otherwise, the system will reboot. A programming guide is also included in Appendix A. Watchdog Timer (WDT) Programming 3-11 Clear CMOS Operation The following table will show you how to enable and disable the CMOS Clear Function hardware circuit using JP1. JP1 FUNCTION NA Normal Operation Short Clear CMOS To correctly operate the Clear CMOS function, apply a jumper over JP1. This will not consume any power. Then configure the (Advanced Chipset Setup) CMOS RAM Clear Function in the BIOS to Enabled. Reboot the system to produce a “CMOS Check Sum Error” message and hold up the system. You may then follow the displayed message to load the BIOS default setting. 3-12 System Installation System Installation Power Switch Setup * Momentary Power Switch Setup To configure the single board computer to accommodate Omnix chassis with a momentary on/off switch, follow these steps: 1) Select jumper pins 3-5 and 4-6 on JP3, AT/ATX Power Select (Figure 3-1). 2) Connect JP2, ATX Power Button Interface, to the momentary power switch on the chassis. 3) Route ATX signals from the power supply to J11, ATX Power Control Connector.

This BIOS has a built-in setup program that allows users to modify the basic system configuration. This type of information is stored in CMOS RAM so that it is retained during power-off periods. When the system is turned on, the Endeavor Plus communicates with peripheral devices and checks its hardware resources against the configuration information stored in the CMOS memory. If any error is detected, or the CMOS parameters need to be initially defined, the diagnostic program will prompt the user to enter the Setup program. Some errors are significant enough to abort the startup. Entering Setup Turn on or reboot the computer. When the message “Hit [DEL] if you want to run SETUP” appears, press the [Del] key immediately to enter BIOS Setup program. If the message disappears before you respond, but you still wish to enter Setup, please restart the system to access “COLD START” again by turning the system OFF and then ON or touch the [RESET] button. You may also restart from “WARM START” by pressing the [Ctrl+Alt+Delete] keys simultaneously. If you do not press the keys at the same time the system will not boot, and the following error message will be displayed and you will again be asked to, Press [F1] to Run Setup or Resume In HIFLEX BIOS Setup, the keyboard can be used to choose among options or modify the system parameters to match the options with your system.

Advanced CMOS Setup Menu This Setup includes all of the advanced features in the system. The detailed descriptions are specified below. Quick Boot Select Disabled for normal booting, or for quicker booting, select Enabled, to skip minor BIOS test items. Boot Up Sequence Six items determine which drive the computer searches for to find the Disk Operating System (DOS). The default ARMD (ATAPI Removable Media Device) emulation type is set to popular drive type LS-120 and ATAPI ZIP. There are many devices available to boot up the system: Disabled, IDE-0, IDE-1, IDE-2, IDE-3, Floppy, LS-120, ATAPI ZIP, CD-ROM, SCSI, and NETWORK. Boot Up Num-Lock Select On to enable the numeric function of the numeric keypad, or Off to disregard it. PS/2 Mouse Support Select Enabled to enable the PS/2 mouse function, or Disabled to make the IRQ12 interrupt available to other ISA-bus I/O devices. Standard CMOS Setup Menu 4-17 System Keyboard This option is used to override a keyboard error message. Choose the Absent setting in BIOS Setup when the system has no keyboard attached. Primary Display Choose Absent, VGA/EGA, CGA40x25, CGA80x25, or Mono to set your monitor type. If you select Absent, the “CMOS Display Type Wrong” message will be ignored despite the mismatched display card. Password Check This option checks the system during boot up or CMOS Setup. It only takes effect after changing the setting Supervisor Password. � Entering the current user password in “Change User Password” will force the system to check the password before running Setup. The system will be able to boot, but will deny access to Setup. � The password prompt appears every time the system boots up. The system will not boot and will deny access to Setup with an invalid password. Clear CMOS or try reloading BIOS Setup to boot up the system. Boot to OS/2>64MB Set this option to Yes to support the OS/2 environment. L1 Cache This option turns the CPU’s Level 1 built-in cache on or off. L2 Cache This option turns the CPU’s Level 2 built-in cache on or off. 4-18 BIOS Setup Information BIOS Setup System BIOS Cacheable This option enhances the system’s performance by shadowing and caching the system BIOS. When disabled, this BIOS shadow function will be ignored. Shadow Memory Each segment provides three options for a faster adapter’s ROM execution: Disabled, Enabled, and Cached. This shadow function is chipset-oriented and depends on your system’s hardware features. In general, C000 64K will be allocated for VGA BIOS and set to Cached to get higher display performance by shadowing and caching feature. If you choose the Enabled setting, only the BIOS shadow function is active. Advanced CMOS Setup Menu 4-19 Advanced Chipset Setup Menu This Setup is very important to maintain system stability. If you are not a technical person, do not attempt to change any parameters. The optimal default setting is recommended. USB Function This option enables the on-chip Universal Serial Bus (USB) function to support the USB peripheral devices when the Enabled setting is selected. USB Keyboard Legacy Support This option is only available when the USB Function option is set to Enabled. Enabling this option provides support for a USB keyboard without the auxiliary driver in the DOS environment. DRAM Page Closing Policy This option controls whether the graphics and memory controller hub will pre-charge one or all banks after a page miss. Memory Hole This option allows the end user to specify the location of a memory hole for memory space requirements from ISA-bus cards. DRAM Tras/Trc Cycle Time (SCLKs) This option controls the number of SDRAM clocks (SCLKs) used per access cycle. Address Setup Time (SCLKs) This option controls the SDRAM address Setup delay time. CAS# Latency (SCLKs) This option controls the number of SCLKs between the time a read command is sampled by the SDRAMs and the time the GMCH samples transfer the data from the SDRAMs. 4-20 BIOS Setup Information BIOS Setup SDRAM RAS# to CAS# delay (SCLKs) This option controls the number of SCLKs (SDRAM Clocks) from a row that activate a command to Read or Write. If your system has good quality SDRAM, you can set this option to 2 SCLKs to obtain better memory performance. Normally, the option is set to 2 SCLKs. SDRAM RAS# Precharge This option controls the number of SCLKs for RAS# precharge. If your system installs good quality SDRAM, you can set this option to 2 SCLKs to obtain better memory performance. Graphics Mode Select This option selects memory space that is used by the video BIOS for handling support of VGA when no GMCH graphics driver is present (e.g., a DOS boot). Display Cache Window Size This option allows you to select the size of mapped memory for AGP graphical data. ICH Delayed Transaction Choose the Enabled option to obtain higher PCI bus performance for I/O controllers and bridges in the system. ClkGen Spread Spectrum This option turns the spread spectrum for EMI control on or off. Local Memory Frequency This option selects the operating frequency for the Local Memory Controller. Initialize Display Cache Memory This option enables or disables Display Cache Memory. Advanced Chipset Setup Menu 4-21 Paging Mode Control This option controls the GMCH memory controller, which tends to close open pages. RAS-to-CAS This option indicates the RAS#-to-CAS# delay in units of display cache clock periods. CAS# Latency This option selects clock periods in units of local memory. RAS# Timing This option controls the RAS# active to precharge, and refresh to RAS# active delay. RAS# Precharge Timing This option controls the RAS# precharge in local memory clocks. Watchdog Timer Controller (WDT) This option turns the Watchdog Timer on or off. Watchdog Timer Setting This option selects the WDT Timeout Interval Setting. CMOS RAM Clear Function If your system supports Y2K RTC, set this option to Enabled to support hardware CMOS clearing operation. 4-22 BIOS Setup Information BIOS Setup Power Management Setup Menu This APM (Advanced Power Management) determines how much power can be saved by setting the items below to handle the system power resource. The following descriptions specify the definition of each item in detail. ACPI Standby State This option supports ACPI standby state S1(POS) and S3(STR) and is not supported by Legacy backplanes. S1 Sleeping State Places the processor into the STPCLK grant state.Throttles the processor’s input clock to run the duty cycle (See Throttle Slow Clock Ratio), placing the processor into the stop clock state. The system clocks (PCI and CPU) continue to run during the sleeping state. Any wakeup event should cause the hardware to de-assert the STPCLK# signal to the processor. S3 Sleeping State All devices on the computer are turned off except for the system RAM. Power Management/APM Advanced Power Management (APM) controls the system’s power resources. Set this option to Enabled to enable the power management function. It will operate based on parameter settings. This option is not supported by Legacy backplanes. Video Power Down Mode This option activates the power-conserving state that the VESA VGA video subsystem enters after the specified period of display inactivity. Power Management Setup Menu 4-23 Hard Disk Power Down Mode This option specifies the power management state that the HDD enters after the specified period of hard drive inactivity. This is similar to the video power control function. If the user chooses Standby or Suspend, it will depend on the period specified in the parameters Standby Timeout or Suspend Timeout. Standby Time out (Minutes) This option specifies the length of time the system is inactive while the computer is in its full- on power state before the computer is placed in Standby mode. When this time expires, the computer enters Standby Timeout state. In Standby mode, some power use is curtailed. Suspend Timeout (Minutes) This option is the same as the Standby Timeout function. These two features must monitor the power of sub-items Display Activity, Serial Port, Parallel Port, Floppy”, Pri-HDD, and Sec- HDD independently. It is also used to control the CPU throttle running function. None of the sub-items will operate when either Stanby Timeout or Suspend Timeout are disabled, even if they are selected in the BIOS Setup menu. Throttle Slow Clock Ratio This option indicates whether the speed at which the system clock runs in system power-saving modes. The settings are expressed as a duty cycle of the STPCLK# signal. This duty cycle indicates the percentage of time the STPCLK# signal is asserted in the throttle mode. Display Activity This option specifies if the BIOS is set to monitor activity on the display monitor for power conservation purposes. If it is set to Monitor and the computer is in a power saving state, BIOS watches for video display activity. The computer enters the full-on power state if any activity occurs. BIOS reloads the Standby and Suspend timeout timers if activity occurs on the specified IRQ lines. If set to Ignore, video display monitor activity is not monitored. 4-24 BIOS Setup Information BIOS Setup Keyboard & PS/2 Mouse, FDC/LPT/COM Ports, Pri/Sec HDD Access When set to Monitor, these options enable event monitoring on the specified hardware device. If set to Monitor and the computer is in a power saving state, BIOS watches for activity on the device with the specified IRQ line. The computer enters the full-on power state if any activity occurs. BIOS reloads the Standby and Suspend timeout timers if activity occurs on the specified device. No monitoring activity occurs if the option is set to Ignore. The settings for each of these options are Monitor or Ignore. PIRQ [A/B/C/D] IRQ Active When set to Monitor, these options enable event monitoring on the specified IRQ. If set to Monitor and the computer is in a power saving state, BIOS watches for activity on the device with the specified IRQ line. The computer enters the full-on power state if any activity occurs. BIOS reloads the Standby and Suspend timeout timers if activity occurs on the specified IRQ. No monitoring activity occurs if the option is set to Ignore. The settings for each of these options are Monitor or Ignore. Power Button Function This item is used to handle Soft Power On/Off regardless of time counting (generally speaking, it is 4 sec) if you set it to on/off. You can easily turn the system on/off by pressing the power button (toggle switch) directly. This feature is only available on a system with an ATX power control interface. If a standard AT power supply is used, this option will be ignored. However, if you choose the Suspend setting, the system will be forced into suspend mode when you turn it off, unless you can continuously press the power button for more than 4 seconds to access the Soft Off function. Resume On Ring This item will be used to wake up the system from the remote ringing control under the Soft Off function. If you choose the Disabled setting, the system will not be resumed by a modem ring. PME Function Support Enable this option to allow your computer to be booted from another computer via a network, by sending a wake-up frame or signal. Power Management Setup Menu 4-25 Resume On RTC Alarm This option controls an unattended or automatic system power up. � RTC Alarm Date � RTC Alarm Hour � RTC Alarm Minute � RTC Alarm Second 4-26 BIOS Setup Information BIOS Setup PCI/Plug-n-Play (PnP) Setup This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) is a system which allows I/O devices to operate at speeds nearing the CPU’s speed when they communicate with their own special components. All of the options described in this section are important and technically complex. It is strongly recommended that only experienced users make changes to the default settings. Plug-n-Play Aware O/S Set this option to “Yes” if the operating system installed in the computer is Plug-n-Play aware. BIOS only detects and enables PnP ISA adapter cards that are required for system boot. The Windows 95 operating system detects and enables all other PnP-aware adapter cards. Windows 95 is PnP-aware. Set this option to “No” if the operating system (such as DOS, OS/2, Windows 3.x) does not use PnP. You must set this option correctly or PnP-aware adapter cards installed in your computer will not be configured properly. Clear NVRAM This option is used to clear NVRAM and to check or update ESCD (Extended System Configuration Data) data after a System Power On. Set this option to “No”; it will not clear NVRAM. The operation of update ESCD is effective in a different ESCD data comparision. If you select the “Yes” setting, the BIOS will update ESCD each time the system powers on. PCI Latency Timer (PCI Clocks) This option is used to control the PCI latency timer period (follow the PCI clocks). Based on PCI specification 2.1 or later and the PCI bus frequency in the system, users can select different timers to meet their PCI bus environment. Primary Graphics Adapter This option allows you to specify a primary VGA display from two options: Onboard VGA or a PCI VGA card. PCI/Plug-n-Play (PnP) Setup 4-27 PCI VGA Palette Snoop Some display cards that are nonstandard VGA, such as graphics accelerators or MPEG video cards, may not show colors properly. Choose the Enabled setting to correct this display mis-match problem. The computer requires VGA palette snooping to support any ISA adapter card installed. PCI IDE BusMaster Set this option to Enabled to specify that the IDE controller on the PCI local bus has a bus-mastering capability. PCI Slot 1/2/3/4 IRQ Priority These options specify the IRQ priority to be used for any PCI devices installed in PCI expansion slots 1 through 4. The settings are (IRQ) 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, and Auto (AMIBIOS automatically determines the IRQ priority). DMA Channel 0/1/3/5/6/7\ These options specify whether the named DMA channel is available for use on the ISA/EISA bus or PnP (Plug-n-Play). IRQ 3/4/5/7/9/10/11/12/14/15 These options specify the bus that the named interrupt request lines (IRQs) are used on. These options allow you to specify IRQs for use by legacy ISA adapter cards. These options determine if AMIBIOS should remove an IRQ from the pool of available IRQs passed to devices that are configurable by the system BIOS. The available IRQ pool is determined by reading the ESCD NVRAM. If more IRQs must be removed from the pool, the end user can use the PCI/PnP Setup to remove the IRQ by assigning the option to the ISA/EISA setting. All IRQs used by onboard I/O are configured as PCI/PnP. 4-28 BIOS Setup Information BIOS Setup Peripheral Setup This section describes I/O resource assignments for all onboard peripheral devices. Onboard IDE This option specifies the onboard IDE controller channels that will be used. The settings are Disabled, Primary, Secondary, and Both. Onboard FDC If you want to install a different add-on super I/O card to connect floppy drives, set this field to Disabled. Otherwise, set it to Auto to have BIOS automatically determine if the floppy controller should be enabled. Onboard Serial Port A/Port B These fields control the resource assignments of two onboard serial interfaces SIO1 and SIO2. The following lists show current options in Onboard Serial Port A/ Port B : Auto � cannot set serial I/O resources by manual operation Disabled � indicates onboard COM port function is ineffective 3F8h/COM1 � assign I/O address 3F8h to COM1 2F8h/COM2 � assign I/O address 2F8h to COM2 3E8h/COM3 � assign I/O address 3E8h to COM3 2E8h/COM4 � assign I/O address 2E8h to COM4 Serial Port B Mode This option controls the resource assignments of onboard Serial Port B. The Serial Port B Mode Select has four settings: Normal, IrDA 1.6us, IrDA 3/16 Baud, and ASK IR. IR Duplex Mode IR Duplex Mode has two settings: Half Duplex and Full Duplex. IR Pin Select IR Pin Select has two options: IRRX/IRTX and SINB/SOUTB. Peripheral Setup 4-29 Onboard Parallel Port There are four optional parallel port modes used to control the onboard parallel port interface when the user selects the I/O base address manually: Parallel Port Mode, EPP Version, Parallel Port IRQ, and Parallel Port DMA Channel. The following are available options of the onboard parallel port: Auto � user can not control all of LPT port I/O resources Disabled � onboard parallel port function is ineffective and NA 378h � locate IRQ7 for this default I/O address 278h � assign this I/O address to LPT1 3BCh � assign this I/O address to LPT1 Parallel Port Mode: This option specifies the Parallel Port Mode. ECP and EPP are both bi- directional data transfer schemes that adhere to the IEEE P1284 specifications. This Parallel Port Mode includes four options: Normal, Bi- Dir, EPP, and ECP. Table 4-9. Parallel Port Settings Setting Description Normal Uni-directional operation at normal speed Bi-Dir Bi-directional operation at normal speed EPP The parallel port can be used with devices that adhere to the Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP) specification. EPP uses the existing parallel port signals to provide asymmetric bi- directional data transfer driven by the host device. ECP The parallel port can be used with devices that adhere to the Extended Capabilities Port (ECP) specification. ECP uses the DMA protocol to achieve data transfer rates up to 2.5MB per second. ECP provides symmetric bi-directional communication. 4-30 BIOS Setup Information BIOS Setup EPP Version : This option is only valid if the Parallel Port Mode option is set to EPP. This option specifies the version of the Enhanced Parallel Port specification that will be used by AMIBIOS. Parallel Port IRQ : This option is only valid if the Onboard Parallel Port option is not set to Disabled. This option sets the IRQ used by the parallel port. Parallel Port DMA Channel : This option is only available if Onboard Parallel Port is set to a fixed I/O address and the setting of Parallel Port Mode is ECP. This option sets the DMA channel used by an ECP-capable parallel port. Mouse/Keyboard Power On Function This option enables either a mouse click or keystroke to power up the computer in Soft Off mode. Peripheral Setup 4-31 Hardware Monitor Setup This Setup describes current system status detected by the hardware monitor controller. The status showed on the screen will include: � CPU Ratio Selection � This option is for unlocked processors only. If your socket 370 processor’s Frequency Multiple is locked, setting the Frequency Multiple here will have no effect. This option sets the Frequency Multiple between the CPU’s internal and external frequencies. This must be set in conjunction with CPU Bus Frequency to match the speed of your CPU. � Current System Temperature (Generally indicates the inside temperature of the chassis or surface temperature of the SBC) � Current CPU Fan Speed � Current Chassis Fan Speed, if connected to a tach fan � System operating voltage (choices include “CPU Vcore”, “CPU Vtt”, “Vcc3”, “+5V”, “+12V”, “-12V”, and “-5V”.) 4-32 BIOS Setup Information BIOS Setup BIOS POST Check Point List AMIBIOS provides all IBM standard Power On Self Test (POST) routines as well as enhanced AMIBIOS POST routines. The POST routines support CPU internal diagnostics. The POST checkpoint codes are accessible via the Manufacturing Test Port (I/O port 80h). Whenever a recoverable error occurs during the POST, the system BIOS will display an error message describing the message and explaining the problem in detail so that the problem can be corrected. During the POST, the BIOS signals a checkpoint by issuing one code to I/O address 80H. This code can be used to establish how far the BIOS has executed through the power-on sequence and what test is currently being performed. This is done to help troubleshoot a faulty system board. If the BIOS detects a terminal error condition, it will halt the POST process and attempt to display the checkpoint code written to port 80H. If the system hangs before the BIOS detects the terminal error, the value at port 80H will be the last test performed. In this case, the terminal error cannot be displayed on the screen. The following POST checkpoint codes are valid for all AMIBIOS products with a core BIOS date of 07/15/95 version 6.27 (Enhanced).

Since basic hardware installation is addressed in Chapter 3, this chapter focuses on system integration issues in terms of backplane setup, BIOS settings, and Operating System diagnostics. BIOS Settings It is assumed that the user has correctly adopted the modules and connected all the device cables required before turning on AT power. The CPU, the CPU fan, the CPU fan power cable, the 168-pin SDRAM, the keyboard, the mouse, the floppy drive, the IDE hard disk, the printer, the VGA connector, the device power cables, ATX accessories, and P8/P9 power cables are good examples. With no assurance that these modules and devices are properly accomodated, it is very possible to have system failures that result in the malfunction of any devices applied. To ensure a successful first-run with the Endeavor Plus, it is recommended that you proceed to the boot-up sequence, by pressing the [DEL] key and entering the BIOS Setup menu to set up a stable BIOS configuration. Loading the Default Optimal Setting When prompted with the main setup menu, please scroll down to “Auto Configuration with Optimal Settings”, press [Enter] and [Y] to load the default optimal BIOS Setup. This will force your BIOS setting back to the initial factory configuration. This is recommended to ensure that the system is running with the BIOS setting that ICS Advent has highly recommended. A user can load the default BIOS setting any time the system appears to be unstable in the boot-up sequence. Auto Detect Hard Disks It is common for a user to proceed with “Auto Detect Hard Disks” to read the hard drive status information into BIOS memory to reduce the time spent in the boot-up hard disk detection process. However, if this is done and another hard drive is applied without redoing the “Auto Detect Hard Disks” procedure, the system will fail to identify the hard disks that are actually connected. A quick way to fix this problem is to enter the BIOS Setup menu for the second time and redo “Auto Detect Hard Disks”. Overview 5-3 There is also another way to prevent this detour. Go to “Standard CMOS Setup” and tune in the hard disk status, the “Primary Master”, and “Primary Slave” to “Auto” with their “32 bit mode“ being tuned to “ON”. This will force your system to automatically detect the current attached hard disks during each boot-up sequence. It is then no longer necessary to manually detect the hard disks each time the boot-up sequence is tried. Note that loading the default optimal BIOS setting will not change the hard disk detection status back to “Auto”. You may find that when you load the default BIOS setting, the hard disk detection status remains unchanged. Additionally, it is also recommended to double check the hard disk or CD-ROM setting in the event of connecting two IDE devices through one IDE port. One of these two devices needs to be configured as a slave device to prevent a detection failure of the IDE devices. There cannot be two IDE devices configured as the master devices at the same time. Improper Disable Operation There are many occasions in BIOS Setup where users disable a certain device/feature in one application, but do not enable it before manipulating another application where the disabled device is needed. Users fail to detect this device/feature and end up with a system failure. Please check the BIOS setting so that the devices or ports that you need are not disabled. These include the floppy drive, COM1/COM2 ports, parallel port, USB ports, external cache, and on-chip VGA display mode. It is also very common that users would like to disable a certain device/port to release IRQ resources. A few good examples are: � Disable COM1 serial port to release IRQ #4 � Disable COM2 serial port to release IRQ #3 � Disable parallel port to release IRQ #7 � Disable PS/2 mouse to release IRQ #12 5-4 Troubleshooting Troubleshooting A quick review of basic IRQ mapping is given below. Table 5-1. Basic IRQ Mapping IRQ # Description 0 System Counter 1 Keyboard 2 Cascade IRQ 3COM2 4COM1 5 Nothing 6 Floppy Disk Controller 7 Printer Port (Parallel Port) 8CMOS Clock 9 Nothing 10 Nothing 11 Nothing 12 PS/2 mouse 13 Data Processor 14 Primary IDE Controller 15 Secondary IDE Controller Note: Onboard PCI devices will occupy resources as assigned by BIOS or the operating system. It is very easy to find out which IRQ resource is ready for additional peripherals. If IRQ resources are insufficient, disable some of the devices listed above to release additional resources. BIOS Settings 5-5 OS Diagnostics This is a brief guide to properly storing the driver for any Microsoft Windows 95/98/NT device, as well as starting special functions in a specific operating system. For other operating systems, please refer to the the operating system (OS) manual/guidebook. ACPI Function in Windows 98 Windows 98/2000 are the only operating systems that supports the ACPI function, in terms of activating the suspend-to-RAM feature. This feature is not supported by ICS Advent Legacy backplanesTo enable Windows 98 to search for this feature, a special installation command is required : (1) setup (standard installation) (2) setup [space] /p [space] j (support ACPI feature) Display Setup By default, any Windows Operating System starts with a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels and a 16-color display. Please load the display driver provided in the Endeavor Plus CD to maximize the VGA performance. If you are using a monitor that Windows cannot identify, you will need to set up a system monitor to correctly retrieve display output, found in the display setup menu. For Windows NT 4.0 users, as the Endeavor Plus provides an AGP type on-chip display feature, Service Pack 3.0 or above is required to activate the AGP VGA display feature. Network Setup Windows 95/98 users – Perform the following steps: 1) Install an ISA/PCI network card into an ISA/PCI slot. 2) Start Windows 95/98 and let Window 95/98 automatically detect your network adapter. 3) Provide the driver and complete installation. 4) After you come back to Windows, restart your Windows system. 5-6 Troubleshooting Troubleshooting 5) Go to Control Panel > System > Device Manager and verify your network adapter has been installed properly. A warning sign will be displayed if the network adapter has not been installed properly. 6) If the network adapter has not been installed properly, remove this network device from the system Setup menu and restart Windows to detect the network adapter again. 7) When the hardware installation is completed, go to Control Panel > Network to set up the networking configuration. This includes DNS, IP, and Gateway. Appropriate protocols are required to carry out networking activities. Refer to your system administrator for additional assistance. Windows NT 4.0 users – Perform the following steps: 1) If there is no onboard ethernet capability, or to install a second network interface card (NIC), insert the NIC into the backplane or single board computer. 2) Install the network adapter manually in the Control Panel > Network > Adapter directory. Drivers are required at this stage. 3) Proceed “Binding” after you load the driver. 4) Change to Protocol Label and load the desired protocols (generally, TCP/IP). Configuring IP, gateway, and DNS is required for TCP/IP protocol. 5) When the protocol loading is complete, proceed again to “Binding”. 6) Restart the system. 7) If there is a situation where the installed network adapter is not working anymore, or the old network driver stays in the system after the network card is changed, remove all the network adapters and protocols from the network setup menu and reload the driver and protocols again. Network setup within Windows NT 4.0 is not as easy as within Windows 95/98. Special familiarity and care are required to have a successful installation. 8) Reapply Service Pack.
