This kind of response is highly needed for harsh and critical industrial operating environment. That’s why we design 4-bit digital inputs and 4-bit digital outputs on the ROCKY-512. Digital Input and Output, generally, are control signals. You can use these signals to control external devices that needs On/Off circuit or TTL devices.
Chapter 4. AWARD BIOS Setup ROCKY-512 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 that may be selected to meet end-user requirements. This chapter is written to assist you in proper usage of these features.
4.2 Standard CMOS Setup The Standard CMOS Setup is used for basic hardware system configuration. The main function is for Date/Time setting and Floppy/Hard Disk Drive setting. Please refer to the following screen for this setup.
Page 29
To set the Date, for example, press either the arrow or <Enter> button on your keyboard to select one of the fields (Month, Date or Year) then press either <PgUp> or <PgDn> to increase or decrease the value of that field. Do the same steps for Time setting.
4.3 BIOS Features Setup This BIOS Features Setup is designed for the 'fine tuning' of your system in order to improve its performance. As for normal operation, you don‘t have to change any default setting. The default setting is pre-set for most reliable operation.
4.4 Chipset Features Setup This setup function works mostly on board's chipset. This option is used to change the chipset's configuration. Please be careful while making any changes in default setting, otherwise the system will become unstable.
4.5 Power Management Setup Power Management Setup helps user to handle the ROCKY-512 board‘s “green” function. This feature can shut down the video display and hard disk to save energy, for example. The power management setup screen is as following...
4.6 PNP / PCI CONFIGURATION This menu is used to assign certain IRQ to your PNP/PCI devices manually. PNP OS Installed: if you install Plug and Play operating system (OS), the OS will reassign the interrupt if you select Yes in this field.
4.7 LOAD BIOS DEFAULTS If you select 'Y' to this field, the BIOS Defaults will be loaded except Standard CMOS SETUP. The default settings are not optimal and turning all high performance into disabled condition. Select 'N' to abort. Suggestion: For the first time or for our primary user, we suggest you to use LOAD SETUP DEFAULTS because it is the safest mode for your system.
4.8 LOAD SETUP DEFAULTS If you select 'Y' to this field, the Setup Defaults will be loaded except Standard CMOS SETUP. The default settings are optimal configuration settings for your system.
4.9 INTEGRATED PERIPHERALS This option is used to assign Onboard I/O, IRQ, and DMA etc. If you don't know how to configure them, just press <F7> to load Setup Defaults. The flat panels will then be applied with two modes: 640x480 or 800x600, for which it needs to set up from BIOS for proper flat panel resolution.
password, enter the BIOS SETUP room with Password and then just press the <Enter> key instead of entering a new password when the 'Enter Password' prompt pop-up. Note: If you forget the password, do the Clear/Reset CMOS procedure (see Section 2.5 Clear CMOS Setup) 4.11 IDE HDD AUTODETECTION This option detects the parameters of an IDE hard disk drive (HDD sector, cylinder, head, etc) automatically and will put the parameters...
4.12 SAVE AND EXIT SETUP Select this option when you finish setting all the parameters and want to save them into the CMOS. Simply press <Enter> key and all the configuration changes will be saved...
4.13 Quit Without Saving Select this option if you want to exit the Setup without saving the changes that you made. Simply press <Enter> key and you will exit the BIOS SETUP without saving the changes.
The ROCKY-512 is equipped with on-board VGA interface. The description below is its specifications and features: 5.1.1 Chipset The ROCKY-512 uses a Cyrix CX5530A chipset as its SVGA controller for traditional analog CRT monitors. The VGA BIOS does not support LCD. Moreover, it also accepts interlaced and...

Chapter 6. PCI Bus Ethernet Interface The ROCKY-512 provides a high performance 32-bit Ethernet chipset, which is completely compliant with IEEE 802.3 100 Mbps CSMA/CD standards. As it is both 100Base-T and 10Base-T compatible so it is suitable for most major network operating systems.
Appendix A. Watchdog Timer The Watchdog Timer is a device 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 normally, hardware on the board will perform hardware reset (cold boot) to bring the system back to a known state.
