The Power On/Off button allows the 15” LCD/Touchscreen Head to be powered down independently of the Eclipse system unit. The On Screen Display menu provides access to brightness and contrast controls, and other display related functions.
BIOS Setup Utility The Phoenix BIOS Setup Utility provides a central location for configuring the Eclipse system board hardware. The BIOS Setup Utility is stored in Flash EPROM, so it is available even if a hard disk or operating system is not installed.
This menu lets you set the system date and time, define the type of hard disk installed, and display the total amount of memory installed on the system board. Advanced This menu provides access to settings for the Eclipse COM ports, LPT port, and mag card reader. Power This menu provides access to the Eclipse power saving modes.
Starting the Phoenix Setup Utility/Checking the MICROS BIOS Version Boot This menu allows the user to determine the Eclipse boot device sequence. The boot device may be an external USB Floppy Disk Drive, internal IDE hard disk, network boot ROM, or optional Disk On Chip.
The alternate setting, ECHS, could be used if you move a hard disk from a PCWS Ultra or other computer to the Eclipse and it refuses to boot. This problem is seen as a blinking cursor in the upper left corner of the LCD.
PCMCIA and USB CD-ROM drives. Primary Slave [None] The Eclipse workstation supports a single IDE Hard disk internally, the Primary Master. However, if you have a dual-drive ATA/66 IDE ribbon cable with three connectors and a “Y” cable adapter to power both drives, set this field to [Auto], then reboot the workstation to allow the BIOS to detect the IDE device you have installed temporarily.
AC power failed. LAN Boot Function: [Disabled] The ability of the Eclipse to boot from a LAN or from the Disk On Chip is mutually exclusive. Thus, if a Disk On Chip is installed, and you must boot from the LAN, set this field to [Enabled].
BIOS Setup Utility Advanced Advanced This menu is a gateway to several sub-menus where you access many of the Eclipse hardware features including the peripheral ports. The default setting for each field are shown in [ ]. Several fields first appeared in BIOS Version 1.00.20, available only on the Micros web site.
BIOS Setup Utility Advanced IO Device Configuration -> This sub-menu allows you to enable or disable the Eclipse’s six COM ports and single LPT port. Press [Enter] to view the following selections, described below. COM1: [Enabled - IO Addr=3F8, IRQ=4] This selection enables or disables the front panel DB9 serial connector.

If the parallel port Mode is set to “ECP”, you must assign it either DMA Channel 1 or DMA Channel 3. DMA 1 is recommended. Magnetic Card Reader Mode [Special] This field determines how magnetic card data is processed by the Eclipse workstation. The selections are Magtek and Special. Magtek When Magtek mode is selected, card data is processed to appear as if it were entered through a PC keyboard.
When [Special] mode is enabled, card data is placed in a buffer unmodified, where it can be accessed through the Eclipse API. The API allows the application full access to mag card data and is typically used for credit card authorization applications.
BIOS Setup Utility Power Power This menu provides access to the Eclipse System Board power saving features. Power savings are disabled by default. Power Savings: [Disabled] When set to [Disabled], power management features are turned off and will not function regardless of the other settings in this menu.
This allows you to install a USB floppy at any time and use it to boot the workstation without having to alter the boot sequence. 2-12 PCWS Eclipse Setup Guide...
