PW810 Endura Motherboard Product Manual Configuration The majority of the configuration of the motherboard is done through the Setup utility built into the BIOS – discussed later in this document. There is, however, a jumper that controls the operation of the motherboard as described below.
PW810 Endura Motherboard Product Manual 1.4.2 Front Panel Connections The primary controls and indicators for the motherboard are connected via the front panel connector using either a single ribbon cable to a 'front panel' assembly, or using a number of small PC- standard connectors.
The minimum total memory size is 16MB and the maximum is 512MB. The BIOS automatically configures the motherboard for the correct size, speed and type. See the Manuals, Drivers & BIOS section on the RadiSys web site at www.radisys.com for a list of memory modules that have been tested with this product.

PW810 Endura Motherboard Product Manual 2.4.1 System Memory Allocation The video controller does not have dedicated frame buffer memory but instead makes use of system memory for all its needs. This must be taken into account when the amount of system memory is chosen.
PW810 Endura Motherboard Product Manual IDE Drives Two independent bus-mastering IDE interfaces are provided, each supporting ATA modes up to UltraATA/66. The following drive types are supported. • ATA hard disks up to UltraATA/66 speeds • ATAPI devices such as CD-ROMs •...
PW810 Endura Motherboard Product Manual 2.9.3 Infra-red Support The PW810 motherboard supports an IrDA compliant infra-red interface via the front panel header. An IR transceiver must be added such as the Hewlett Packard HSDL-3201 or the HSDL-3610 device. The IR port shares the serial port 2 channel and thus the two ports cannot be used simultaneously.
PW810 Endura Motherboard Product Manual 2.14 System management The PW810 motherboard includes hardware system management functions integrated into the National Semiconductor PC87366 Super I/O (SIO) device. They monitor system voltages, motherboard and CPU temperatures, fan speed and control system fans. The following sections describe this in more detail.
PW810 Endura Motherboard Product Manual 2.14.2 Temperature Monitoring There are two temperature sensors on the motherboard. The first measures the motherboard temperature. Since the sensor is contained within the SIO, this will be a localized reading dominated by the motherboard surface temperature around the SIO component. The second temperature sensor is located on the processor die and thus accurately measures the local die temperature.
PW810 Endura Motherboard Product Manual 2.15.1 ACPI Power States An ACPI-aware operating system directs the power management of the motherboard – causing the various devices within the system to change power state as appropriate. The table below describes the ACPI power states available using the PW810 motherboard. Global State Sleep State Device...

PW810 Endura Motherboard Product Manual 4 Motherboard BIOS Configuration The motherboard BIOS includes a setup utility that can be used to both view and modify the board’s configuration. The settings are stored in CMOS RAM with the default settings held in the flash ROM.
BIOS ROM (as a result of an interrupted update, for example) to be repaired. Updates are available online from the RadiSys site in the form of a compressed image (ZIP) of a number of files. Using the software contained in the ZIP file, you must first create a flash diskette that is then used for the update or recovery process.
Follow the steps below. You need a PC with Microsoft MS-DOS, Windows 95, Windows 98 or Windows NT and a blank diskette. 1. Obtain the update ZIP file from the Manuals, Drivers & BIOS section on the RadiSys web site, www.radisys.com.
BIOS OEM kit ZIP file that can be obtained from the Manuals, Drivers & BIOS section on the RadiSys web site, www.radisys.com. The ‘Readme.txt’ file also contained in this ZIP provides updated customization information and should be read before proceeding.
PW810 Endura Motherboard Product Manual BIOS Error Indications Once the motherboard powers-up the BIOS code runs Power-On-Self-Test software to check that the motherboard is operating correctly. During this process, the code writes an 8-bit value to an error port at various code checkpoints. If a fatal error is determined, then the error code indicates the last successful checkpoint reached.
