To Configure The Motherboard Jumpers And Setup Bios - Agilent Technologies 54845B Manual

To Configure the motherboard jumpers and setup BIOS

If the BIOS settings become corrupted, the Infiniium oscilloscope PC motherboard will not
recognize the hard drive and the unit will not boot. To determine the correct BIOS setup
procedure for your configuration, determine the following information:
• BIOS release number
• RAM size shown on screen at power-up
The 120 MB floppy has the release button below the disk opening. From this information,
determine the correct WINBIOS setup procedure in order to enter the correct BIOS setting.
When the motherboard is replaced, set the motherboard jumpers to support the CPU clock speed
and CPU power.
Configure the MOT series VP-22 866 MHz CPU, 120 MByte floppy drive, and CDROM.
This configuration is labeled "VIN #40" on the instrument rear panel. Infiniium oscilloscopes of
this configuration are equipped wit the MOT Series VP-22 motherboard and the Intel 866 MHz
processor. The motherboard's voltage select is automatic for the correct processor voltage.
This motherboard configuration lists the following message or similar at turn-on:

Main Processor: Intel Pentium III 866 MHz
Memory Test: 262144K OK
See "Configure the MOT series VP-22 Motherboard BIOS parameters" for the appropriate BIOS
setup procedure.
This configuration/vintage incorporates mechanical changes to the instrument chassis and
cabling to match the change in form factor of this motherboard. See Replaceable Parts chapter
for new part numbers.
The motherboard jumper information and BIOS setups procedures are presented in the following
pages.
Agilent Technologies Service Note Describes Upgrade Details
For improved performance and hard disk drive reliability, refer to Agilent Service Note 54810-06.
This service note gives detailed information for upgrading to 64 MB RAM, upgrading to revision
2.51 or newer code, and enabling power managementin the BIOS. This combination of upgrades
and power management settings enable the instrument to load the application into memory at
power-up and allows the hard drive to power down. This provides for a quick response from the
oscilloscope controls during use, while maximizing the hard drive life.
