AMI BIOS SETUP Introduction This manual discusses AMI Setup program built into the ROM BIOS. The Setup program allows users to modify the basic system configuration. This special information is then stored in battery-backed RAM so that it retains the Setup information when the power is turned off. Starting Setup AMI BIOS is immediately activated when you first power on the computer.
Using Setup In general, you use the arrow keys to highlight items, press <Enter> to select, use the PageUp and PageDown keys to change entries, press <F1> for help and press <Esc> to quit. The following table provides more detail about how to navigate in the Setup program using the keyboard.
Getting Help Press F1 to pop up a small help window that describes the appropriate keys to use and the possible selections for the highlighted item. To exit the Help Window press <Esc> or the F1 key again. If, after making and saving system changes with Setup, you discover that your computer no longer is able to boot, the AMI BIOS supports an override to the CMOS settings which resets your system to its defaults.
Main Menu Once you enter the AMIBIOS™ CMOS Setup Utility, the Main Menu will appear on the screen. The Main Menu allows you to select from several setup functions and two exit choices. Use the arrow keys to select among the items and press <Enter>...
Page 42
PCI / Plug and Play Setup This entry appears if your system supports PnP / PCI. Peripheral Setup Use this menu to specify your settings for integrated peripherals. Hardware Monitor Setup Use this menu to monitor your hardware. Auto-detect Hard Disks Use this menu to specify your settings for hard disks control.
Standard CMOS Setup The items in Standard CMOS Setup Menu are divided into 10 categories. Each category includes no, one or more than one setup items. Use the arrow keys to highlight the item and then use the <PgUp> or <PgDn> keys to select the value you want in each item.

Advanced CMOS Setup This section allows you to configure your system for basic operation. You have the opportunity to select the system’s default speed, boot-up sequence, keyboard operation, shadowing and security. Quick Boot When set to Enabled, DRAM testing function will be disabled. 1st /2nd /3rd Boot Device This option sets the type of device for the first boot drives that the AMIBIOS attempts to boot from after AMIBIOS POST completes.
Page 46
Hard Disk Access Control This option specifies the read/write access that is set when booting from a hard disk drive. The settings are Read/Write or Read-Only. S.M.A.R.T. for Hard Disks Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology. This option can help BIOS to warn the user of the possible device failure and give user a chance to back up the device before actual failure happens.
Page 47
Primary Display Select this option to configure the type of monitor attached to the computer. The settings are Monochrome, Color 40x25.Color 80x25,VGA/PGA/EGA, or Not Install. Password Check This option enables the password check option every time the system boots or the end user runs Setup. If always is chosen a user password prompt appears every time the computer is tuned on.
Page 48
System BIOS Cacheable When this option is set to Enabled, the System ROM area from F0000- FFFFF is copied (shadowed) to RAM for faster execution. C000, 32k Shadow When this option is set to Enabled, the Video ROM area from C0000- C7FFF is copied (shadowed) to RAM for faster execution.
D800, 16k Shadow These options enable shadowing of the contents of the ROM area named in the option title. The settings are Enable Disable, Cached. The ROM area that is not used by ISA adapter cards will be allocated to PCI adapter cards.400, 16k Shadow.
Page 50
SDRAM CAS# Latency This controls the latency between the SDRAM read command and the time that the data actually becomes available. Memory Hole You can reserve this area of system memory for ISA adapter ROM. When this area is reserved, it cannot be cached. The user information of peripherals that need to use this area of system memory usually discusses their memory requirements.
Power Management Setup ACPI Aware O/S This feature is switch of ACPI function. Configuration option: [Yes] or [No]. Power Management/APM When Disabled, SMI will not be initialized, and complete power management functionality is removed until this option is set to Enabled. Suspend Time Out (Minute) If no activity occurs during this time period, BIOS will place the system into suspend low power state.
Power Type Select This feature is switch of Power Type function. Configuration options: [AT] [ATX] 4.10 PCI / Plug and Play Setup Clear NVRAM When this option is set to Yes, system can auto clear NVRAM. The settings are Yes or No. PCI Latency Timer (PCI Clocks) This option specifies the latency timings (in PCI clocks) for PCI devices installed in the PCI expansion slots.
Page 53
Init. Graphics Adapter Priority This setting is to select primary graphic by PCI or AGP Adapter. Allocate IRQ to PCI VGA Set this option to Yes to allocate an IRQ to the VGA device on the PCI bus. The settings are Yes or No. OffBoard PCI IDE Card This question is needed for off-board non-compliant PCI IDE card.
4.11 Peripheral Setup The Peripheral Setup allows you to configure you system to most effectively save energy while operating in a manner consistent with your own style of computer use. OnBoard LAN This option is setting to enable or disable Onboard LAN Function. OnBoard AC’97 Audio This option is setting to enable or disable Onboard AC’97 Audio Function.
Page 55
Parallel Port Mode This option specifies the parallel port mode. The settings are Normal, Bi-Dir, EPP, and ECP. Normal: The normal parallel port mode is used. Bi-Dir: Use this setting to support bi-directional transfers on the parallel port. EPP: The parallel port can be used with devices that adhere to the Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP) specification.

Change Supervisor Password You can set either supervisor or user password, or both of them. The differences between are: Supervisor password: To enter and change the options of the setup menus. User password: To enter the setup menus only but do not have the right to change the options.
Appendix A Watchdog Timer The Watchdog Timer is provided to ensure that standalone systems can always recover from catastrophic conditions that cause 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.

That is why we design 4-bit digital inputs and 4-bit digital outputs on POS-478. There are two kinds of signals (Input and Output) used by the Digital I/O function.
Appendix E Creating/Deleting SATA Raid Sets Creating and deleting RAID sets is a function found in the BIOS. During boot-up, the following message will appear, pausing for a few moments to allow the user to choose what to do: Press <CRTL-S> or F4 to enter RAID utility An easy-to-use screen will appear with the following choices in the top left: Create RAID Set Delete RAID Set...

What is Disk Copy? If the disk assigned as the source disk already has been partitioned and has data stored on it, and then a second disk is added redundancy, the data on the source drive can be copied to the destination drive, so the disks are identical, and all subsequent data will be written to both drives as a Mirrored set.
Appendix F Connecting LCD to POS-478 POS-478 can support both one-channel and two-channel LVDS LCD through connector J1. We use the LCD – LTM15C423S (2-channel) as an example to explain the signal mapping and data format. The pixel data of LTM15C423S is 48-bit wide. To use 36-bit LCD, neglect the third pair of signals —...
