Little Board/P5i Technical Manual

 Swap Floppy Drive— If two floppy drives are connected to the system, drive A becomes drive B
and vice-versa.
 Boot Up Floppy Seek—during POST, the BIOS performs a seek test to determine if the drive is 40
or 80 tracks (360K drives have 40 tracks, other drives have 80 tracks).
 Boot Up NumLock Status—sets the default state of the keyboard’s numeric keypad. On sets the
keypad to numbers, Off sets the keypad to arrows.
 PC/104-Plus NMI—enables or disables the system NMI. The possible sources for NMIs are ISA
IOCHCHK, PCI Parity Check signals, Watchdog timer, or Power Fail.
 Typematic Rate Setting—enable or disable the typematic function (automatic keyboard key repeat).
 Typematic Rate (chars/Sec)—set the typematic rate. This is the rate at which a held-down key is
repeated.
 Typematic Delay (mSec)—set the time a key must be pressed before typematic repeating begins.
 Watchdog Timer—sets the time period for the watchdog timer. Can be set to 30, 60, or 90 seconds,
or Disabled.
 Show System Status at Boot—When enabled (the default), messages are displayed on the console
during the Power-On Self Test.
 Socket S0 (32-pin DIP)—sets the address of the byte-wide socket S0. Can be Disabled or D0000h.
 Socket S1 (OEM Flash)—sets the address of the portion of the onboard BIOS flash device that is
available for OEM use. S1 operates like the byte-wide socket, S0. Can be Disabled or D0000h.
 OS Select for DRAM > 64MB—if you are running OS/2, set to OS/2. Otherwise set to Non-OS/2.
 Shadow Options—determines whether option ROMs in the specified address range are shadowed in
DRAM.
 Onboard UltraSCSI
1
—enables or disables the onboard UltraSCSI controller. This determines
whether the Adaptec SCSI BIOS is installed at boot time. Note that the SCSI hardware is not enabled
or disabled with this feature. Use W17 to enable or disable the SCSI controller hardware.
 Onboard VGA Display—choices are CRT, FP (Flat Panel), or CRT/FP (CRT and Flat Panel). Note
that when you select CRT/FP (the default), the CRT may not display correctly if it is not compatible
with the selected flat-panel display.
 VGA Flat Panel Type—there are eight (8) VGA Flat Panel types. Contact Ampro Technical Support
for the current list of supported panels.
 Flat Panel Video—can be set to Normal or Reverse.

When the UltraSCSI BIOS is installed, Sockets S0 and S1 cannot be enabled due to a memory conflict.
The UltraSCSI may be installed by using the SCSI driver if the Sockets need to be enabled. This will
however, prohibit booting from the SCSI drive.
