When exiting a program, it is necessary to disable the Watchdog Timer, otherwise the system will reset. KEY™ FUNCTION The SBC-370 provides an E utility, you can freely store the ID Code, Password, or Critical Data in the 1Kbit EEPROM. Because the EEPROM is nonvolatile memory, you don't have to worry about losing important data.
The E KEY function is based on the parallel port. Therefore, you should enable SBC-370's parallel port or it will not work. CONNECTING TO AN ATX POWER SUPPLY To Connect ATX Power Supply to the Backplanes and/or the ISBC Card Disconnect the AC cord from the power supply to prevent sudden electric surge.

USB Port Connector (CN9) The SBC-370 has two built-in USB ports for future I/O bus expansion. Pins 1, 3, 5, and 7 for USB 0. Pins 2, 4, 6, and 8 for USB 1. For the location of this connector, refer to figure 2.
IrDA Infrared Interface Port (CN6) The built-in IrDA port supports Serial Infrared (SIR) or Amplitude Shift Keyed IR (ASKIR) interface. To use the IrDA port, configure the SIR or ASKIR model in the BIOS's Peripheral Setup's COM2. Then, the normal RS-232 COM2 will be disabled. For the location of this connector, refer to figure 2.
Pin Number Fan Connector (CN13/CN14/CN15) The SBC-370 provides one CPU cooling fan connector and two system fan connec- tors. These connectors can supply 12V/500mA (maximum) to the cooling fan. The connector has a rotation pin that supplies the fan's rotation signal to the system so that the system BIOS can read the fan speed.
AMI BIOS Setup Menus The SBC-370 uses the AMI PCI/ISA BIOS for system configuration. The AMI BIOS setup program is designed to provide maximum flexibility in configuring the sys- tem by offering various options for end user requirements. This section is pro- vided to assist you in the proper usage of these features.
ADVANCED CMOS SETUP The Advanced CMOS Setup is designed for optimizing the performance of the SBC-370. Under normal operation, you do not have to change any default set- tings. The default settings are preset for the most reliable operation. keys to move from one field to the...

HARDWARE MONITOR SETUP There is a LM78 chip that can monitor onboard system voltage and fan speed. The voltage monitoring will cover +5V, +12V, -12V, and -5V. Note: Normal CPU fan RPM is more than 5000 RPM. If your CPU fan RPM is less than 5000 RPM, something is wrong and the CPU will be in overheat condition.
CHANGE SUPERVISOR/USER PASSWORD Set a password that is used to protect your system and Setup Utility. Supervisor Password has higher priority than User Password. Once you setup the password, the system will ask you to enter the password every time you enter the BIOS SETUP. If you enter the BIOS SETUP with the Supervisor Password, you can access every setup option on the main menu.
AUTO CONFIGURATION WITH OPTIMAL SETTINGS This option lets you load the Optimal default settings. These settings are best-case values that will provide the best performance. Whenever your CMOS RAM is damaged, the Optimal settings will be loaded automatically. AMI BIOS Setup Menus...
AUTO CONFIGURATION WITH FAIL SAFE SETTINGS This option allows you to load the Fail Safe default settings when your computer cannot boot normally. These settings are not optimal, but are the most stable. SAVE SETTINGS AND EXIT Select this option when you finish setting all the parameters and want to save them into the CMOS.
