  • Page 28 ISA REFERENCE ISA BUS SIGNAL DESCRIPTIONS The following is a description of the ISA Bus signals. All signal lines are TTL-compatible. AEN (O) Address Enable (AEN) is used to degate the microprocessor and other devices from the I/O channel to allow DMA transfers to take place. When this line is active, the DMA controller has control of the address bus, the data-bus Read command lines (memory and I/O), and the Write command lines (memory and I/O).
  • Page 29 ISA REFERENCE DRQ[7::5], DRQ[3::0] (I) DMA Requests DRQ[7::5] and DRQ[3::0] are asynchronous channel requests used by peripheral devices and the I/O channel microprocessors to gain DMA service (or control of the system). They are prioritized, with DRQ0 having the highest priority and DRQ7 having the lowest. A request is generated by bringing a DRQ line to an active level.
  • Page 30 ISA REFERENCE also may be driven by other microprocessors or DMA controllers that reside on the I/O channel. M16# (I) M16# Chip Select signals the system board if the present data transfer is a 1 wait-state, 16-bit, memory cycle. It must be derived from the decode of LA[23::17].
  • Page 31 ISA REFERENCE of up to 16MB of memory. SA[19::0] are gated on the system bus when BALE is high and are latched on the falling edge of BALE. These signals are generated by the microprocessor or DMA Controller. They also may be driven by other microprocessors or DMA controllers that reside on the I/O channel.

    PCI REFERENCE PCI LOCAL BUS PCI OVERVIEW The PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) Local Bus is a high performance, 32-bit or 64-bit bus with multiplexed address and data lines. It is intended for use as an interconnect mechanism between highly integrated peripheral controller components, peripheral add-in boards and processor/memory systems.
  • Page 34 PCI REFERENCE PCI LOCAL BUS SIGNAL DEFINITION The PCI interface requires a minimum of 47 pins for a target-only device and 49 pins for a master to handle data and addressing, inter- face control, arbitration and system functions. The diagram below shows the pins in functional groups, with required pins on the left side and optional pins on the right side.

The bus pin assignments shown below are for the 5-volt connector. The 3.3-volt connector bus pin assignments are the same with the following exceptions: The pins noted as +V (I/O) are +5 volts or +3.3 volts, depend- ing on which connector is being used.

  • Page 41 PCI REFERENCE a single function and up to four interrupt lines for a multi-function device or connector. Interrupt A is used to request an interrupt. For a single function device, only INTA# may be used, while the other three interrupt lines have no meaning. Interrupt B, Interrupt C and Interrupt D are used to request additional interrupts and only have meaning on a multi-function device.
  • Page 42 PCI REFERENCE REQ64# (optional) Request 64-bit Transfer, when actively driven by the current bus master, indicates it desires to transfer data using 64 bits. REQ64# has the same timing as FRAME#. REQ64# has meaning at the end of reset. RST# Reset is used to bring PCI-specific registers, sequencers and signals to a consistent state.

    SYSTEM BIOS UTILITY FUNCTIONS DetectMaster/DetectSlave The DetectMaster and DetectSlave options allow you to have WinBIOS automatically detect the type of hard disk drive(s) in your system. The automatic detection functions only if you have IDE drives. The parameters are reported to the appropriate screen in WinBIOS Standard Setup (Master Disk or Slave Disk), so the hard drive can easily be configured.
  • Page 60 SYSTEM BIOS NOTE: The auto detect feature displays disk parameter values as es- tablished by the drive manufacturer. If the drive has been formatted using any other values, accepting the auto detect values will cause erratic behavior. You must either reformat the drive to meet the manufacturer’s specifications or use Standard Setup to enter para- meters which match the current format of the drive.

Once values have been defined, they display each time Peripheral Setup is run. Programming Mode This option allows automatic or manual setup of peripheral devices.
  • Page 101 PERIPHERAL SETUP OnBoard IDE WinBIOS attempts to enable any hard disk drive controller on the ISA Bus. If no hard disk drive controller is found on the ISA Bus, the on-board IDE controller is enabled. Serial Port 1 and Serial Port 2 WinBIOS also attempts to avoid address conflicts.
  • Page 102 PERIPHERAL SETUP Parallel Port WinBIOS checks the ISA Bus for off-board parallel ports. Any parallel ports found on the ISA Bus are left at their assigned addres- ses. The on-board Parallel Port is automatically configured with the first available address not used by an off-board parallel port. The default address assignment order is 3BCH, 378H, 278H.

    BIOS MESSAGES APPENDIX A - BIOS MESSAGES BIOS BEEP CODES Errors may occur during the POST (Power-On Self Test) routines which are performed each time the system is powered on. Non-fatal errors are those which, in most cases, allow the system to con- tinue the bootup process.
  • Page 108 BIOS MESSAGES BIOS BEEP CODES (continued) Beep Count Message Description Display Memory The system video adaptor is either missing or Read/Write Error its memory is faulty. NOTE: This is not a fatal error. ROM Checksum Error The ROM checksum value does not match the value encoded in the BIOS.
  • Page 109 BIOS MESSAGES BIOS ERROR MESSAGES (continued) A description of each error message appears below. The errors are listed in alphabetical order, not in the order in which they may occur. Message Description 8042 Gate-A20 Error The gate-A20 portion of the keyboard controller (8042) has failed to operate correctly.

  • Page 111 BIOS MESSAGES BIOS ERROR MESSAGES (continued) Message Description Keyboard Error The BIOS has encountered a timing problem with the keyboard. The Keyboard option in the Standard Setup portion of the WinBIOS Setup Program may be set to Not Installed, which will cause the BIOS to skip the keyboard POST routines.
  • Page 112 BIOS MESSAGES ISA BIOS NMI HANDLER MESSAGES The ISA NMI (non-maskable interrupt) messages are described below. Message Description Memory Parity Error Memory failed. The message appears as follows: MEMORY PARITY ERROR AT XXXXX where XXXXX is the address (in hexadecimal) at which the error has occurred.
