The Watch-Dog Timer is disabled by reading port 043H. The Watch-Dog Timer time-out period can be set 10sec, 15sec, 25sec and 80sec.
2.7 System Memory Installations The NUPRO-710 supports three 128-pin DIMMs for SDRAMs or EDO DRAMs of either 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB or 256MB to form a memory size between 8MB to 768MB. IMPORTANT: Do not mix SDRAMs or EDO DRAMs . To use Error Checking and Correction (ECC), you must used a DIMM module with 9 chips per side (e.g. 8 chips + 1 parity chips) and make the proper settings in the BIOS Chipset Feature Setup.
Both ISA and PCI expansion cards may need to use IRQs. System IRQs are available to cards installed in the ISA expansion bus first, and PCI cards then use any remaining IRQs. Currently, there are two types of ISA cards. The original ISA expansion card design, now referred to as " Legacy " ISA cards, requires that you configure the card's jumpers manually and then install it in any available slot on the ISA bus. You may use Microsoft's Diagnostic (MSD.

AWARD BIOS Setup All computer mainboard of this type have a 'Setup' utility program stored in the BIOS ROM that is used to create a record of the system configuration and settings. If you are received your mainboard installed as part of a sys tem, the proper entries have probably already been made. If so, you might want to call up the Setup Utility, as described later, to take a look at them, and perhaps record them for future reference, particularly the hard disk specifications.
This screen provides access to the utility's various functions. Note: The 'BIOS Default' are minimized settings for troubleshooting. Use the 'Setup Defaults' to load optimized defaults for regular use. If you choose defaults at this level, modifies all applicable settings. A section at the bottom of the screen explains the controls for this screen. Use the arrow key to move between items, + to change the color scheme of the display and to exit the utility.
“STANDARD CMOS SETUP” displays a screen with a list of entries. Follow the on-screen instructions to move around the screen. Instructions at the bottom of the screen list the controls for this screen. Use the arrow keys to move between fields, and the (‘PU’), (‘PD’) or plus and minus keys to change the option shown in the selected field. Press + changes the color scheme of the display, and exits this level and returns to the main screen.
There are six categories of information you must enter “Cyls “(number of cylinders,)” Head “(number of read/write heads,)” Precomp “(write precompensation,)” LandZ “(landing zone,)” Sector (number of sectors) and “Mode”. The “Size” entry is automatically determined by the other specifications. Your hard disk vendor’s or system manufacturer’s documentation should provide you with the drive specifications.
