4. WATCHDOG TIMER CONFIGURATION The WDT (Watch Dog Timer) is used to generate a variety of output signals after a user programmable count. The WDT is suitable for use in the prevention of system lock-up, such as when software becomes trapped in a deadlock.
5. BIOS CONSOLE This chapter describes the AR-B1892 BIOS menu displays and explains how to perform common tasks needed to get up and running, and presents detailed explanations of the elements found in each of the BIOS menus. The following topics are covered:...
Time Setup The time format is: Hour:1 to 24 Minute:00 to 59 Second:00 to 59 To set the time, highlight the “Time” field and use the 【PageUp】/【PageDown】or 【+】/【-】keys to set the current time. IDE Channel Master/Slave The onboard single IDE channel provide IDE connectors for connecting up to two IDE hard disks or other devices.

Hyper-Threading Technology Hyper-Threading allows a single physical processor to execute two heavyweight threads (processes) at the same time, dynamically sharing processor resources. the field is set to enabled Quick Power On Self Test When enabled, this field speeds up the Power On Self Test(POST)after the system is turned on. If it is set to Enable, BIOS will skip some items.
5.3 POWER SETUP Use this main to specify your setting for power management. Power Setup ACPI Function Enable this function to support ACPI(Advance Configuration and Power Interface). ACPI Suspend Type ( ) ( ) ( ) The options for this field are S1 and S3 .
5.5 PNP/PCI SETUP The option configures the PCI bus system. All PCI bus system on the system use INT#, thus all installed PCI cards must be set to this value. PnP / PCI Setup Reset Configuration Data This field allow you to determine whether to reset the configuration data or not. The default value is Disabled.
5.4 PERIPHERALS SETUP This option controls the configuration of the board’s chipset. Control keys for this screen are the same as for the previous screen. Peripherals Setup Onboard Serial Port 1 Onboard Serial Port 2 Onboard Serial Port 3 Onboard Serial Port 4 Onboard Serial Port 5 Onboard Serial Port 6 These fields allow you to select the on board serial ports and their addresses.
5.6 PC HEALTH SETUP This section shows the parameters in determining the PC Health Status. These parameters include temperatures, fan speeds, voltages. PC Health Status Temperature / Voltage These fields are parameters of the hardware monitoring function feature of the motherboard. The values are read-only values as monitored by the system and show the PC health status.
5.7 BOOT SETUP This section is used to exit the BIOS main menu. After making your changes, you can either save them or exit the BIOS menu and without saving the new values PCI / Plug And Play First / Second / Third Boot Device These fields determine the device that the system searches first for an operating system.
5.8 EXIT SETUP This section is used to configure exit mode. Exit Setup Save & Exit Setup This option allow you determine whether or not to accept the modifications. If you type “Y”, You will quit the setup utility and save all changes into the CMOS memory. If you type “N”, you will return to setup utility.
The chips can be electronically reprogrammed, allowing you to upgrade your BIOS firmware without removing and installing chips. The AR-B1892 provides the FLASH BIOS update function for you to easily to update to a newer BIOS version. Please follow these operating steps to update to new BIOS:...
