Quick Start - AMD ElanSC310 User Manual

Chapter 1

Quick Start

This chapter provides information that helps you quickly set up and start using the
ÉlanSC310 microcontroller evaluation board.
The ÉlanSC310 microcontroller evaluation board is shipped with evaluation BIOS'
from Phoenix and SystemSoft, which have been configured specifically for this
board. (A jumper, JP32, selects which BIOS is used at power-up.) The BIOS
contains the code which allows the ÉlanSC310 microcontroller evaluation board
to function just like a standard AT-compatible PC. The ÉlanSC310 microcontroller
evaluation board can boot from standard AT-compatible diskettes and can use AT-
compatible displays, display adapters and keyboards.
This chapter describes how to set up the ÉlanSC310 microcontroller evaluation
board in Full ISA Bus mode and boot DOS from a diskette. In this mode, the Trident
ISA bus VGA card is used to drive a common video monitor.
The end of the chapter explains how to connect an IDE hard drive to configure
your ÉlanSC310 microcontroller evaluation board to operate like a standard 386
desktop computer.
