Hardware Configuration 2-3 How to Set Jumpers You can configure your board by setting the jumpers. Jumper consists of two or three metal pins with a plastic base mounted on the card, and by using a small plastic “cap”, Also known as the jumper cap (with a metal contact inside), you are able to connect the pins. So you can set-up your hardware configuration by “opening” or “closing” the pins. The jumper can be combined into sets called jumper blocks.

Software Configuration 3-5. Watchdog Timer Configuration The watchdog timer does not run constantly. It must be started in DOS Debug mode or from another application program, customized for this purpose, that runs on the system. The watchdog timer is especially useful for remote rebooting of the PC. The watchdog timer is defined at I/O port 0443H. To enable the watchdog timer, write I/O port 0443H, then the system will reset itself.
Green PC Function Chapter 4 - Green PC Function The CommPlete 4000 is equipped with a “green function” that allows it to operate using reduced electrical power when the machine is inactive. When in green mode, the CommPlete 4000 slows down and shuts down certain computer functions in order to reduce power consumption. There are three reduced-power operating modes (presented in order of increasing power savings): (1) CPU Doze Mode, (2) System Standby Mode, (3) System Suspend Mode .
Green PC Function 4-2. CPU Doze Mode 1. After a pre-determined period of inactivity has elapsed, the CPU will slow down to 8 MHz. 2. The computer will emit one ‘beep’ sound. 3. The green function will monitor PC activity according to settings in the Power Management Setup screen. 4. If any activity occurs, the system will switch from “Doze Mode” to “On Mode.” 4-3. System Standby Mode 1. After a pre-determined period of inactivity has elapsed, the CPU will slow down to 8 MHz. 2.
Award BIOS Setup Chapter 5 - Award BIOS Setup 5.1 Introduction This chapter describes the function of the BIOS in managing the features of your system and how to configure the BIOS in its Setup Menu. The IPC-623C single-board computer is equipped with a system BIOS chipset from Award Software Inc. Your application programs (such as word processing, spreadsheets, and games) rely on an operating system such as DOS or OS/2 to manage such things as keyboard, monitor, disk drives, and memory.
Award BIOS Setup The Setup program built into the Award BIOS lets users modify the basic system configuration. This special configuration information is then stored in battery-backed RAM so that the PC retains the Setup information when the power is turned off. The Award BIOS is a custom version of an industry standard BIOS. It supports Intel/Cyrix/AMD processors in a standard IBM-AT compatible input/output system.

Award BIOS Setup 5-8 Load BIOS Defaults Auto Configuration with BIOS Defaults Choosing LOAD BIOS DEFAULTS from the CMOS Setup Utility menu will restore default BIOS values to the PC. Invoking LOAD BIOS DEFAULTS will bring up this dialog box: Load BIOS Default ( Y ? N ) ? Y To use the BIOS defaults, change the prompt to “Y” and press Enter; the default BIOS values will be loaded into CMOS automatically the next time you power up the IPC-623C. Load BIOS Defaults are the same as Load Setup Defaults.

Award BIOS Setup IDE Primary Master/Slave UDMA IDE Secondary Master/Slave UDMA UDMA, also known as Ultra DMA, is a DMA data transfer protocol that utilizes ATA commands and the ATA bus to allow DMA commands to transfer data at a maximum burst rate of 33 MB/s. When you select Auto in the four IDE UDMA fields, the system automatically determines the optimal data transfer rate for each IDE device.
Award BIOS Setup Onboard UART 2 Mode Select an operating mode for the second serial port. Onboard Parallel Port Select a logical LPT port address and corresponding interrupt for the physical parallel port Parallel Port Mode Select an operating mode for the onboard parallel (printer) port. Select Normal, Compatible, or SPP unless you are certain your hardware and software both support one of the other avilable modes. For more information about parallel port modes, see http://www.fapo.com/1284int.htm.
Award BIOS Setup 5-11 Password Setting Access to the computer system in general or to the BIOS settings in particular can be put under password protection using this function. When you select PASSWORD SETTING on the CMOS Setup Utility menu, the following dialog box will appear at the center of the screen to assist you in creating a password. Enter Password Type the password, up to eight characters in length, and press Enter.
Award BIOS Setup 5-12 IDE HDD Auto Detection The parameters presented on this menu are pre-set at the factory. They should be altered only by expert users. When you select IDE HDD AUTO DETECTION from the CMOS Setup Utility menu, this screen will appear: ROM / PCI / ISA BIOS (2A69KP6A) STANDARD CMOS SETUP AWARD SOFTWARE, INC. Primary Master :( Mb) Primary Slave : Secondary Master : Secondary Slave : CYLS.
Award BIOS Setup 5-14 Save & Exit Setup When all required adjustments are complete, you must save these settings into the CMOS RAM. Select SAVE & EXIT SETUP and press Enter, as shown in the below display. ROM / PCI / ISA BIOS (2A59FP6C) CMOS SETUP UTILITY AWARD SOFTWARE, INC.
Award BIOS Setup To cancel any changes you have made, select QUIT WITHOUT SAVING (see figure below) and the original settings stored in CMOS will be retained. ROM / PCI / ISA BIOS (2A59FP6C) CMOS SETUP UTILITY AWARD SOFTWARE, INC.
Appendix A: ExpansionBus Appendix A - Expansion Bus This appendix presents the pin assignments for the PC-104 connector, the ISA bus, and the PCI bus.
Appendix A: Expansion Bus PC-104 Connector Pin Assignment 104AB, 104CD : PC-104 Connector B32 B1 A32 A1 104AB C1 D1 C32 D32 Figure A-1: PC104 Connector The PC-104 can support multiple PC-104 modules. This card has two connectors : one (104AB) consists of 64 pins; the other one (104CD) consists of 40 pins, both are dual-in-line headers.
Appendix A: ExpansionBus ISA Bus Pin Assignments There are two edge connectors on this CPU Card. The one closest to the edge bracket is the ISA bus connector; the other is the PCI bus connector. The ISA-bus connector is divided into two sets : one consists of 62 pins; the other consists of 36 pins.
Appendix A: Expansion Bus PCI Bus Pin Assignments Like the ISA-BUS connector, the PCI-BUS edge connector is also divided into two parts: one consists of 98 pins; the other consists of 22 pins. The standard of PCI-MG 32-bit PCI-ISA connector contains 218 pins in total.

Appendix C: Troubleshooting Appendix C Troubleshooting C-1 Introduction This appendix outlines errors that may occur during system operation and likely remedies for these problems. C-2 Troubleshooting with Error Messages This section describes error messages and their use in troubleshooting. Since many errors can be caused by poor cable connections, you should verify that all cables have been connected firmly to their proper receptacles.
Appendix C: Troubleshooting CMOS Checksum Error: This error indicates that the CMOS has been corrupted. Corruption may be caused by a weak battery. Display Switch Is Set Incorrectly: The display switch on the motherboard can be set to either monochrome or color. This error message indicates that the switch setting does not match the video display mode specified in the Setup screen. Determine which setting is correct.
Appendix C: Troubleshooting Keyboard Error Or No Keyboard Present: When this error message appears, check to see that your keyboard is attached properly to its receptacle. Make sure JP6 is jumpered for keyboard. Also, be sure that no keys are being pressed during the booting process. If you are purposely configuring the system without a keyboard, set the error halt condition in Setup to HALT ON ALL, BUT KEYBOARD. This will cause the BIOS to ignore the missing keyboard and continue the boot.
