SF810 Endura Motherboard Product Manual 2.9.3 Infra-red Support The SF810 motherboard supports an IrDA compliant infra-red interface via the riser. 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. A transfer rate of up to 115kbps is supported.
SF810 Endura Motherboard Product Manual 2.13 Expansion Cards Expansion cards are supported via the NLX riser. PCI Slots A maximum of 5 bus-master PCI 2.2 compliant slots are supported although risers with a high PCI slot count must be carefully validated to ensure signal compliance with the PCI specification. In order to fully meet the PCI 2.2 specification, the 3VAux-power supply rail must be provided by the riser.

SF810 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 file update ZIP file from the Download Library on the RadiSys web site, www.radisys.com. 2. Unzip the contents to a directory on your hard drive.
UPDATE. If you do this using the standard update files contained in the downloaded ZIP, the customizations will be set to RadiSys standard defaults. To update with customer-specific data you must first customize the update disk as described in the BIOS Customization section of this document.
SF810 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.
