2.1 Before You Begin A stable and clean working environment are essential. Dust and dirt can get into components and cause a malfunction. Use containers to keep small components separated. Adequate lighting and proper tools can prevent you from accidentally damaging the internal components. Most of the procedures that follow require only a few simple tools, including the following: A Philips screwdriver ...
This is the first step of all to proceed with, if you are to install (or change) a processor (hard drive or memory module). Please remove the 6 screws on the two sides as indicated in the places below, prior to any moving of the top cover.
2.4 Accessing Processor & Memory Please refer to the Manual of BNX-H110 motherboard for substantial details as to adding processor, cooler, and memory. 2.5 Adding 2.5”/3.5” SATA Hard Drive Procedures: (1) Turn off the system and open up the top cover. (2) Find the four screws fastened on the Hard Drive bracket (red circles as below).
Page 16
(4) Add the 3.5” Hard Drive: As illustrated below, please have the two 3.5” Hard Drive assembled with this Hard Drive bracket, leaving the Hard Drive I/O at the end as in the figure below, and add on one side four screws enclosed in the accessory screw bag, and the other four on the other side, for a perfect and firm Hard Drive subset.
2.6 Accessing CompactFlash Card CompactFlash instead of CFast NSP-20H1 comes with one CompactFlash card socket, rather than CFast card socket. Please be careful when adding your flash devices. Procedures: (1) Turn off the system. (2) The onboard CompactFlash socket can be located on motherboard (as the red circle).
COM port of your PC terminal service has been configured with the same speed. Please be advised that a Micro-USB Console port is available at the front side of NSP-20H1. A standard Micro- USB cable is just perfect to connect this port with the standard USB port of your terminal PC. This is particularly useful for those notebook PCs where COM port is no longer available and usually a USB-to-COM adaptor is used to fulfil such a function.

System Is Up On AC Power NSP-20H1 BIOS has been configured to allow immediate power-on upon the presence of AC power. Have you wished to bring it down, simply press once on the power switch (as located below with yellow arrow), or press and hold for 4 seconds, to reach that goal.
(PC or laptop). This is particularly useful nowadays where most PC or laptop do not come with any serial port. Please see below where to find this Micro-USB port on NSP-20H1. Add one Micro-USB cable to this port, and connect the other end to the USB port of PC or laptop.
3.3 Installing Operating System & Drivers Confirm the Hard Drive List The system is designed to allow booting from a variety of internal devices, including USB pen drive, SATA drive, and CompactFlash drive, etc. Given the tiny footprint and slow performance of USB pen drive, SATA drive and CompactFlash are more likely the devices to carry operating system and can be found in the detected drive list, in the section of SATA Configuration.

About the BIOS The BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) Setup program is a menu driven utility that enables you to make changes to the system configuration and tailor your system to suit your individual work needs. It is a ROM- based configuration utility that displays the system’s configuration status and provides you with a tool to set system parameters.
4.1 Entering Setup When the system is powered on, the BIOS will initiate the Power-On-Self-Test (POST) routines. These routines perform various diagnostic checks. If an error is encountered, the error will be reported in one of two different ways: If the error occurs before the display device is initialized, a series of beeps will be transmitted. ...
4.4 The Main Menu Figure 4-1: BIOS Setup Utility Main Menu The menu bar on the top of the first screen has the following submenus: Main: Basic system configuration. Advanced: Advanced system settings. Chipset: Other functions. Security: Configure Supervisor and User Password ...
4.5 The Advanced Menu In this section, you may set the configurations for the following items: Super IO Configuration, H/W Monitor, Serial Port Console Redirection, and CSM Configuration. Super IO Configuration Serial Port 1/2 Configuration Serial Port This setting enables/disables the specified serial port. Change Setting Select an optimal setting for Super I/O devices.

Example #1 (GPI Test) Script name: GPI_Test.sh Definition of the test: This tests demonstrates how to read the GPIO pin value. The pin #2, #4, #6, #8 are defined as GPO pins with value low. The pin #1, #3, #5, #7 are defined as GPI pins. A few jumpers will be added onto pin #1-#2, #3-#4, #5-#6, #7-#8 so pin #1 will read the value of pin #2, pin #3 will read the value of pin #4, …, etc.
Page 43
Now move these two jumpers onto #3-#4 and #7-#8. Pin #3 and pin #7 will now read value [low]. Users are welcome to configure this GPI script for other programming jobs.
Page 44
Example #2 (GPO Test) Script name: GPO_Test.sh Definition of the test: This tests demonstrates how to set the GPIO pin value as [high] or [low]. The pin #2, #4, #6, #8 are defined as GPO pins with value low. The pin #1, #3, #5, #7 are defined as GPO pins and the values will be changed throughout the script. Four LEDs are added onto pin #1-#2, #3-#4, #5-#6, #7-#8.

Q: The power switch is pressed, but nothing happens. A: Please check the following before you call out for help: (1) Loose AC Power Cord => Push again. (2) Loose power cable (both 24-pin and 4-pin) => Push again. (3) A bad or loose power switch => Reseat the power switch on the header again. Q: I can turn on the power, but the motherboard does not boot.

Q: Can I use Console Port at BIOS mode? A: Yes, you certainly can. NSP-20H1 comes with one console port as RJ45 at front side. Please manage to find the console cable in the accessory bag, add the RJ45 end to console port, and the other end to the DB9 RS-232 port of a Windows PC (for example, Windows-XP) that comes with terminal software (for example, Hyper Terminal).
