4. Award BIOS Setup 4.1 Introduction This chapter discusses the Setup program written in the BIOS. It will give the user a step-by-step guidance to configure the system. The user-defined configuration is then stored in battery-backed CMOS RAM, which retains the customized information when power is turned off.
4.3 Using Setup In general, the user can use the arrow keys to highlight items, press <Enter> to select, use the PageUp and PageDown keys to change entries, press <F1> for help and press <Esc> to quit. The following table provides more details about how to navigate in the Setup program using the keyboard.
4.4 Main Menu Once the user enter the AwardBIOS™ CMOS Setup Utility, the Main Menu will appear on the screen. The Main Menu allows the user to select from several setup functions and two exit choices. Use the arrow keys to go through the items and press <Enter>...
4.4.1 Setup Items The main menu includes the following main setup categories. Please note that some systems may not include all of the following entries. Standard CMOS Features Use this menu for basic system configuration. See Section 4.5 for the details. Advanced BIOS Features Use this menu to set the Advanced Features available on the user’s system.

be required to preserve the integrity of the data held in the slower memory chips. SDRAM CAS Latency Time When synchronous DRAM is installed, the number of clock cycles of CAS latency depends on the DRAM timing. The Choice: 2, 3 SDRAM Cycle Time Tras/Trc Select the number of SCLKs for an access cycle.
Page 42
Video BIOS Cacheable Select Enabled allows caching of the video BIOS , resulting in better system performance. However, if any program writes to this memory area, a system error may result. The Choice: Enabled, Disabled. Memory Hole At 15M-16M The user can reserve this area of system memory for ISA adapter ROM.

IDE Primary/Secondary Master/Slave PIO The four IDE PIO (Programmed Input/Output) fields let the user set a PIO mode (0-4) for each of the four IDE devices that the onboard IDE interface supports. Modes 0 through 4 provide successively increased performance. In Auto mode, the system automatically determines the best mode for each device.
Page 46
IDE HDD Block Mode Block mode is also called block transfer, multiple commands, or multiple sector read/write. If the user’s IDE hard drive supports block mode (most new drives do), select Enabled for automatic detection of the optimal number of block read/writes per sector the drive can support.
Page 48
Power Management This category allows the user to select the type (or degree) of power saving and is directly related to the following modes: 1. HDD Power Down 2. Doze Mode 3. Suspend Mode There are four selections for Power Management, three of which have fixed mode settings.
Page 49
Video Off In Suspend This determines the manner in which the monitor is blanked. The Choice: Yes, No. Suspend Type Select the Suspend Type. The Choice: PWRON Suspend, Stop Grant. Suspend Mode When enabled and after the set time of system inactivity, all devices except the CPU will be shut off.
4.10 PnP/PCI Configuration Setup This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. PCI, or Personal Computer Interconnect, is a system which allows I/O devices to operate at speeds nearing the speed the CPU itself uses when communicating with its own special components. This section covers some very technical items and it is strongly recommended that only experienced users should make any changes to the default settings.
Page 51
Reset Configuration Data Normally, the user leave this field Disabled. Select Enabled to reset Extended System Configuration Data (ESCD) when the user exit Setup if the user have installed a new add-on and the system reconfiguration has caused such a serious conflict that the operating system can not boot.
CPU Clock Ratio This item allows the user to select CPU clock ratio. The Choice: 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8,8.5,9,9.5,10,10.5,11,11.5,12. 4.13 Defaults Menu Selecting “Defaults” from the main menu shows the user two options which are described below Load Fail-Safe Defaults When the user press <Enter>...
4.14 Supervisor/User Password Setting The user can set either supervisor or user password, or both of then. The differences between are: Supervisor Password : for entering changing settings of the system. User Password for just entering the system but does not have the privilege to change any settings of the system.
Additionally, when a password is enabled, the user can also require the BIOS to request a password every time the user’s system is rebooted. This would prevent unauthorized use of the user’s computer. The user determine when the password is required within the BIOS Features Setup Menu and its Security option (see Section If the Security option is set to password will be required both at boot and at entry to Setup.
Appendix A. Watchdog Timer The Watchdog Timer is provided to ensure that standalone systems can always recover from catastrophic conditions that cause the CPU to crash. These conditions may result from an external EMI or a software bug. When the system stops working correctly, hardware on the board will perform hardware reset (cold boot) to bring the system back to a known state.

Appendix C. How to Upgrade a New BIOS The user can install an upgrade BIOS for the ROCKY- that downloaded from 3786EV/EVG(U2) manufacturer’s web site ( www.e-icp.com.tw ). New BIOS support peripherals ,improvements performance or amendments to system addressed known bugs.

Reboot the system to the DOS command prompt using the boot diskette the user just made. At the DOS command prompt type , "awdflash filename.xxx", where filename.xxx is the file name of the BIOS file. Hit enter. The user’s first option, in sequence, will be to save the old BIOS.
Page 63
The user’s second option, in sequence, will be whether the user want to flash the user’s BIOS. Enter Y (for "yes"). NOTE: This is the critical step. Once the user kit the enter key, do NOT touch the keyboard, the reset button, or power switch while the flashing is in progress.
Please, check the type of the user’s CPU board. All CPU board listed on the next page support ATX power supply but has two types of power switch connection: ROCKY-3786EV/EVG(U2) (through Power Button & GND): Connect the ATX power button switch to the CN5 (power button).
Page 66
If the user want to turn ON the system, just press the button once. And if the user want to turn off the power supply, please press the ATX power switch button for about 4 seconds.
Page 67
B. For the backplanes with ATX power supply connector For some SBC without ATX power ON/OFF function, then the user can control the ATX power supply through backplane’s PS-ON connector. Refer to the figure below: for the backplanes with ATX connector, the connection can be made simply as following: Connect the ON/OFF (ordinary one) switch to Pin 2 (PS ON) and Pin 3 (GND) of connector CN2...
Appendix E. E Key™ Function The ROCKY-3786EVG provides an outstanding E KEY™ function for system integrator. Based on the E KEY™, the user can free to store the ID Code, Password or Critical Data in the 1Kbit EEPROM. Because the EEPROM is nonvolatile memory, the user don’t have to worry for losing very important data.
Page 69
/* This function will write the given data to E KEY™ at certain address. The address range is from 0 to 63. The data value is from 0 to 0xffff. */ To easily start to use the function, please refer to the included EKEYDEMO.C code at first.
