JP16 : IRQ12 Enable/Disable Setting JP16 DESCRIPTION SHORT IRQ12 Enable for PS/2 Mouse Operating OPEN PS/2 Mouse Disable. IRQ12 to bus 2.5 Watch-Dog Timer The Watch-Dog Timer is enabled by reading port 443H. It should be triggered before the time-out period ends, otherwise it will assume that program operation is abnormal and will issue a reset signal to start again, or activate NMI to CPU.
JP1 : Clear CMOS Setup (Reserve Function) DESCRIPTION Normal Operation Clear CMOS Setup 2.8 Battery Backup for CMOS Setup There is one 4-pin header CN8 used for battery backup function. When set to short, pin 1-2 will be using on board battery. When using external battery, you should take off the jumper and use the connector as an external battery connector.
Chapter 3. Connection This chapter describes how to connect peripherals, switches and indicators to the ROCKY-538TXV board. 3.1 Floppy Disk Drive Connector ROCKY-538TXV board is equipped with a 34-pin daisy-chain driver connector cable. CN2 : FDC CONNECTOR DESCRIPTION DESCRIPTION GROUND...
3.2 PCI E-IDE Disk Drive Connector You can attach four IDE (Integrated Device Electronics) hard disk drives to the ROCKY-538TXV IDE controller. The IDE support Ultra DMA/33 interface. CN1(IDE 1) : Primary IDE Connector CN4(IDE 2) : Secondary IDE Connector...

GROUND 3.12 Fan Connector The ROCKY-538TXV provides a CPU cooling fan connector and a chassis fan connector. These connectors can supply 12V/500mA to the cooling fan. There is a “rotation” pin in this connector. The rotation pin is used to retrieve fan’s rotation signal back to the system enabling system BIOS to recognize fan speed.
Chapter 4. AWARD BIOS Setup The ROCKY-538TXV uses the AWARD PCI/ISA BIOS for system configuration. The AWARD BIOS setup program is designed to provide maximum flexibility in configuring the system by offering various options which may be selected to meet end-user demands.
4.2 Standard CMOS Setup The Standard CMOS Setup is used for basic hardware system configuration. Main function is to modify Date/Time settings and Floppy/Hard Disk Drive settings. Please refer the following screen for this setup. For IDE hard disk drive setup, please check the following possible setup procedure: Use Auto setting for detection during bootup.
4.3 BIOS Features Setup BIOS Features Setup is designed for customer’s to tune ROCKY-538TXV board to its best performance possible. As for normal operations, customers don’t have to change any default setting as the default setting is pre-set for most reliable operation.
4.4 Chipset Features Setup Most of these setup functions are working for ChipSet (Intel 430TX). These options are used to change the ChipSet‘s registers. Please be careful while making changes to any default setting, otherwise the system could become unstable. Auto Configuration : Enable or Disable When you are using 60nS general type DRAM, please enable this setting so as to get optimal timings.
4.5 Integrated Peripherals This part of setup for Multi-I/O Chip (W83977F ). These options are used to change the ChipSet‘s registers. Please be careful while making any changes to default setting so as to meet your application needs. The only special point that you must pay attention to in this menu page is the Onboard Serial Port2.
4.6 Power Management Setup Power Management Setup help users in modifying ROCKY-538TXV board‘s “green” function. These features could shut down video display and hard disk in order to save energy. Please refer to the sample caption below for power management setup screen:...
4.7 PNP/PCI Configuration The PNP/PCI Configuration help users to set ROCKY-538TXV board’s “PCI” function. All PCI bus slots on the system use INTA#, thus all installed PCI slots must be set to this value. PNP OS Installed : Yes or No When PNP OS is installed, interrupts may be reassigned by the OS when the setting is Yes.
A quick and easy way to learn to use the function is to first review EKEYDEMO.C code included. Please note the E KEY™ function is only available if the parallel port is working. In other words, you should enable ROCKY-538TXV’s parallel port, otherwise will this function will be not working.
Appendix B. Watch-Dog Timer The Watch-Dog Timer is provided to ensure that standalone systems can always recover from catastrophic conditions that caused the CPU to crash. This condition may have occurred by external EMI or a software bug. When the CPU stops working correctly, hardware on the board will either perform a hardware reset (cold boot) or a non-maskable interrupt (NMI) to bring the system back to a known state.
