To protect it from unintended damage, be sure to follow ü Ground yourself to remove any static charge before touching your -P258BX SBC. You can do it by using a grounded wrist strap at all times or by frequently touching any conducting materials ü Handle your RO-P258BX SBC by its edges. Don’t touch IC ü ü Do not put your ROCKY-P258BX SBC unprotected on a flat surface 8 because it has components on both sides.

The voltage monitoring will cover Vtt, Vcore, Vio, +5V,+12V,-– Note: normal CPU Fan RPM is over than 5000 RPM. If your CPU Fan RPM is less than that figure, something is wrong and the CPU will be in overheat condition. Make sure that the connection at CN3/CN4 is correct. Anyway, the above RPM figure is for reference only. Different brand may give different 29 figure. 5V. 12V,and User Password This option sets a password that is used to protect your system and Setup Utility. Supervisor Password has higher priority than User Password. Once you setup the password, the system will always ask you to key-in password every time you enter the BIOS SETUP. If you enter the BIOS SETUP with Supervisor Password, you can access every setup option on the main menu (USER PASSWORD, SAVE SETTING AND EXIT and EXIT WITHOUT SAVING). To disable these passwords, enter the BIOS SETUP menu with Supervisor Password and then just press the key instead of entering a new password when - 30 up.the 'Enter Password' prompt pop but with User Password you can only choose three setup options 4.9 Change Supervisor / 4.10 Auto-Detect Hard Disk This option detects the parameters of an IDE hard disk drive (HDD sector, cylinder, head, etc) automatically and will put the parameters into the Standard CMOS Setup screen. Up to 4 IDE drives can be detected and the parameters will be listed in the box. Press if you accept these parameters. Press to skip the next IDE drives. Note: If your IDE HDD was formatted in previous older system, incorrect parameters may be detected. In this case, you need to enter -k. 4.11 Auto Configuration with Optimal Settings This option lets you load the default settings.

These settings are not the most optimal settings but 4.13 Save Settings and Exit Select this option when you finish setting all the parameters and want to save them into the CMOS. Just simply press s will be saved. 4.14 Exit Without Saving Select this option if you want to exit the Setup without saving the will exit the BIOS SETUP without saving the changes. 32 changes that you made. Just simply press key and you key and all the configuration change are the most stable settings. 5 2 E Key™ Function (optional) 2 The ROCKY-P258BX provides an optional outstanding E 2 function for system integrator. Based on the EKEY™, 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. 2 Basically the EKEY™ is based on a 1Kbit EEPROM which is configured to 64 words(from 0 to 63). You could access (read or 2 When you start to use the EKEY™ you should have the utility in the package. The software utility will include four files as follows, E2KEY.OBJ EKEYDEMO.C EKEYDEMO.EXE. The E2KEY.OBJ provides two library functions for user to 2 integrate their application with EKEY™ 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) 2 /* This function will return the EKEY™’s data at address. The void write_e2key(unsigned int address,unsigned data) 33 */ address range is from 0 to 63. Return data is one word,16 bits README.DOC write) each word at any time. KEY™ 2 /* This function will write the given data to EKEY™ at certain address. The address range is from 0 to 63. The data value is from 0 to 0xffff. */ To easily start to use the function, please refer to the included EKEYDEMO.C code at first. 2 Please note that the E™ function is based on the working of parallel port. So you should enable the ROCKY-’ llel port, otherwise it will not work. 34 para P258BXs KEY Appendix A. Watch-Dog Timer The WatchDog Timer is provided to ensure that standalone systems can always recover from catastrophic conditions that cause the CPU to crash. This condition may have occurred by external EMI or a software bug. When the CPU stops working correctly, hardware on the board will either perform a hardware reset (cold boot) or a Non-Maskable Interrupt (NMI) to bring the the WatchDog Timer :. Enable to refresh the WatchDog (hex) Timer. Disable the WatchDog Timer. (hex) To enable the WatchDog Timer, a read from I/O port 443H must be performed. This will enable and activate the countdown timer which will eventually time-out and either reset the CPU or cause a NMI, depending on the setting of JP12. To ensure that this reset condition does not 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 selected by A tolerance of at least 30% must be maintained to avoid unknown routines within 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. 35 WatchDog Timer, otherwise the system will reset. Note: when exiting a program, it is necessary to disable the jumper group JP13. Read043 Read443 Two I/O ports control system back to a known state. The following notes show how to connect ATX Power Supply to the - Please, disconnect the AC cord of the Power Supply from the AC source when you plug-in DC connector to prevent sudden electric surge to the Connect the ATX power supply switch to the pin 18 (power button) and pin 20 (+5VSB) of CN2 (multi panel) on the board. If you wish to turn off the power supply, please push the ATX power switch button for about 4 sec. And to turn ON the system, simply push 36 the button once. board.
