I/O with CRT/Panel, LAN, Audio, TV-Out, and 4COM ports interfaces. Its onboard ATA/33/66/100 to IDE drive interface architecture allows the HS-2605 to support data transfers of 33, 66 or 100MB/sec. to one IDE drive connection. Designed with the VIA VT8606 core logic chipset, the board supports VIA C3 EDEN 400/667/733MHz Embedded CPU.
To ensure the reliability in an unmanned or standalone system , the Watchdog Timer (WDT) onboard HS-2605 is designed with pure hardware that does not need the arithmetical functions of a real-time clock chip. If any program causes unexpected halts to the system, the onboard Watchdog Timer (WDT) will automatically reset the CPU or generate an interrupt to resolve such condition.

Please refer to the following screen for the setup. When the capacity of the IDE hard disk drive is larger than 528MB, you must set the HDD mode to LBA mode.
Advanced CMOS Setup This section allows you to configure your system for the basic operation. You have the opportunity to select the system’s default speed, boot-up sequence, keyboard operation, shadowing and security. AMIBIOS SETUP – ADVANCED CMOS SETUP (C)2001 American Megatrends, Inc. All Rights Reserved Quick Boot Enabled Available Options:...
Advanced Chipset Setup This section allows you to configure the system based on the specific features of the installed chipset. This chipset manages bus speeds and the access to the system memory resources, such as DRAM and the external cache. It also coordinates the communications between the conventional ISA and PCI buses.
Power Management Setup The Power Management Setup allows user to configure the system for saving energy in a most effective way while operating in a manner consistent with his own style of computer use. AMIBIOS SETUP – POWER MANAGEMENT SETUP (C)2001 American Megatrends, Inc.
PCI / Plug and Play Setup This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. PCI, or Personal Computer Interconnect, is a system that allows I/O devices to operate at speeds nearing the speed the CPU itself uses when communicating with its own special components. This section covers some very technical items and it is strongly recommended that only experienced users should make any changes to the default settings.
Peripheral Setup The IDE hard drive controllers can support up to two separate hard drives. These drives have a master/slave relationship that is determined by the cabling configuration used to attach them to the controller. Your system supports two IDE controllers--a primary and a secondary--so you can install up to four separate hard disks.
