Page 27: Additional Features
The conga-B915 is equipped with an ATMEL Atmega168 microcontroller. This onboard microcontroller plays an important role for most of the congatec BIOS features. It fully isolates some of the embedded features such as system monitoring or the I²C bus from the x86 core architecture, which results in higher embedded feature performance and more reliability, even when the x86 processor is in a low power mode. -

Once verified the F10 Save and Exit function continues to perform some minor processing tasks and finally reaches an automatic reset point, which instructs the module to reboot. After the Automatic Reset has been triggered the congatec module can be powered off and if need be removed from the baseboard without losing the new CMOS settings. -

Native mode allows the SATA and PATA controllers to operate as true PCI devices and therefore do not need dedicated legacy resources, which means it can be configured anywhere within the system. When either the SATA or PATA controller runs in native mode it only requires one PCI Copyright © 2008 congatec AG B915m10... -

Running in native mode frees up interrupt resources (IRQs 14 and 15) and decreases the chance that there may be a shortage of interrupts when installing devices. Note If your operating system supports native mode then congatec AG recommends you enable it. Intel Processor Features ®... -

Note The term ‘AC power loss’ stands for the state when the module looses the standby voltage on the ‘VCC_5V_SBY’ pins. On congatec modules, the standby voltage is continuously monitored after the system is turned off. If after 30 seconds the standby voltage is no longer detected, then this is considered an AC power loss condition. -

Serial Port and Console Redirection Serial Redirection allows video and keyboard redirection via a standard RS-232 serial port. For more information about “Serial Port and Console Redirection” refer to application note AN2_Remote_Control.pdf, which can be found on the congatec AG website at www.congatec.com. Note The above mentioned feature is only applicable if an external Super I/O has been implemented on the carrier board. -
Page 91: Hard Disk Security Features
BIOS disables the ATA security features at the end of POST to prevent their misuse. Without this protection it would be possible for viruses or malicious programs to set a password on a drive thereby blocking the user from accessing the data. Copyright © 2008 congatec AG B915m10... -
