Safety Instructions

Integrated circuits on computer boards are sensitive to static electricity.

To avoid damaging chips from electrostatic discharge, observe the

following precautions:

ꢀ

Do not remove boards or integrated circuits from their anti-static

packaging until you are ready to install them.

ꢀ

Before handling a board or integrated circuit, touch an unpainted portion

of the system unit chassis for a few seconds. This helps to discharge any

static electricity on your body.

ꢀ

Wear a wrist-grounding strap, available from most electronic component

stores, when handling boards and components. Fasten the ALLIGATOR

clip of the strap to the end of the shielded wire lead from a grounded

object. Please wear and connect the strap before handle the HS-2601A

to ensure harmlessly discharge any static electricity through the strap.

Please use an anti-static pad when putting down any components or

parts or tools outside the computer. You may also use an anti-static bag

instead of the pad. Please inquire from your local supplier for additional

assistance in finding the necessary anti-static gadgets.

3.6 System Memory

The HS-2601A provides one SO-DIMM socket at location U2. This

onboard memory socket can support 64MB, 128MB and 256MB

SO-DIMM modules. The system’s maximum memory capacity is

256MB.

143

144

144-pin SO-DIMM Socket

pin orientation

NOTE: SO-DIMM sockets out on the market these days have very fragile

contacts that attach to modules. We highly recommend you not to

regularly remove the installed SO-DIMM from its socket. Doing so

may wear out the contact between the socket and module.

3.7 DiskOnChip Address Setting

The DiskOnChip function allows the system to boot or operate

without a FDD or a HDD. DiskOnChip modules may be formatted as

drive C or A. With DiskOnChip, user may also execute DOS

commands such as FORMAT, SYS, COPY, XCOPY, DISCOPY and

DISKCOMP etc.

The U7 location onboard the HS-2601A is the DiskOnChip module

socket. The board circuitry assigns a LOCKED starting memory

address of the installed module at D000. If you have another memory

device that has a similar memory capacity with that of the DOC in your

system, please set both at different memory address mapping to avoid

the mapping area conflicts. Failing to do so will not make the HS-2601A

and the additional memory device function properly.

3.7.1 Installing DiskOnChip Modules

When installing a DiskOnChip module onto your board, please take

note of the following:

1. Orient yourself properly with the location of the DiskOnChip

socket. Try to locate the pin 1 location on your socket. Pin

numbers are usually printed on either the component side or the

solder side of your board.

2. Locate the Pin 1 location on your DiskOnChip module. More

often than not, Pin 1 can be found on the lower right corner of

the chip. Please refer to the diagram for the exact location.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

3. Once you have figured out where the pin 1 locations are on both

chip and socket, align the module’s pins on an upright angle

against the socket. Using both thumbs, gently press the module

into the socket until all the pins are secured to their

designations.

Pin 1

Location

4. The installation is now complete and your module is now ready

for use.

NOTE: If you encounter difficulty installing your DiskOnChip module,

please consult a qualified technician or engineer to perform the

installation.

3.7.1 Removing DiskOnChip Modules

When removing a DiskOnChip module from its socket, please take

note of the following:

1. Loosen the contact of the module from its socket using a

screwdriver.

2. Insert the screwdriver’s flat head into a gap on either end of the

socket. Do not insert the screwdriver head on either side where

the pins are located. Doing so might damage the pins in the

process.

3. Slowly lift the screwdriver handle upwards. This will disengage

the module from its socket.

NOTE: If you encounter difficulty removing your DiskOnChip module,

please consult a qualified technician or engineer to remove it for

you.

3.20 Watchdog Timer

There are three access cycles of Watch-Dog Timer as Enable, Refresh

and Disable are the three access cycles of Watchdog Timer. The

Enable cycle proceeds via READ PORT 443H whereas the Disable

cycle proceeds via READ PORT 045H. A continued Enable cycle after

a first Enable cycle means Refresh.

Once the Enable cycle is active, a Refresh cycle is requested before

the time-out period. This restarts counting of the WDT period. When

the time counting goes over the period preset of WDT, it will assume

that the program operation is abnormal. A System Reset signal to

re-start or a NMI cycle to the CPU transpires when such error happens.

Jumper JP1 is used to select the function of Watchdog Timer.

After an Enable cycle of WDT, user must immediately execute a

Refresh cycle to WDT before its period setting comes to an end every

1, 2, 10, 20, 110 or 220 seconds. If the Refresh cycle does not activate

before WDT period cycle, the onboard WDT architecture will issue a

Award BIOS Setup

The HS-2601A uses Award PCI/ISA BIOS for the system configuration.

The Award BIOS setup program is designed to provide the maximum

flexibility in configuring the system by offering various options that

could be selected for end-user requirements. This chapter is written to

assist you in the proper usage of these features.

4.1 Starting Setup

The Award BIOS is immediately activated when you first power on the

computer. The BIOS reads the system information contained in the

CMOS and begins the process of checking out the system and

configuring it. When it finishes, the BIOS will seek an operating system

on one of the disks and then launch and turn control over to the

operating system.

While the BIOS is in control, the Setup program can be activated in one

of two ways:

1. By pressing <Del> immediately after switching the system

on, or

2. By pressing the <Del> key when the following message

appears briefly at the bottom of the screen during the POST

(Power On Self Test).

Press DEL to enter SETUP.

If the message disappears before you respond and you still wish to

enter Setup, restart the system to try again by turning it OFF then ON or

pressing the "RESET" button on the system case. You may also restart

by simultaneously pressing <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and <Delete> keys. If you do

not press the keys at the correct time and the system does not boot, an

error message will be displayed and you will again be asked to...

PRESS F1 TO CONTINUE, DEL TO ENTER SETUP

ꢀ Base Memory: The POST will determine the amount of base

(or conventional) memory installed in the

system. The value of the base memory is

typically 512K for systems with 512K memory

installed on the motherboard, or 640K for

systems with 640K or more memory installed

on the motherboard.

ꢀ Extended Memory: The BIOS determines how much extended

memory is present during the POST. This is

the amount of memory located above 1MB

in the CPU's memory address map.

ꢀ Total Memory: This refers to the memory located in the 640K

to 1024K address space. This is memory that

can be used for different applications. DOS

uses this area to load device drivers in an effort

to keep as much base memory free for

application programs. The BIOS is the most

frequent user of this RAM area since this is

where it shadows RAM

4.6 Chipset Features Setup

This section allows you to configure the system based on the specific

features of the installed chipset. This chipset manages bus speeds and

the access to the system memory resources, such as DRAM and the

external cache. It also coordinates the communications between the

conventional ISA and PCI buses. It must be stated that these items

should never be altered. The default settings have been chosen

because they provide the best operating conditions for your system.

You might consider and make any changes only if you discover that the

data has been lost while using your system.

4.11 Integrated Peripherals

The IDE hard drive controllers can support up to two separate hard

drives. These drives have a master/slave relationship that is

determined by the cabling configuration used to attach them to the

controller. Your system supports two IDE controllers--a primary and a

secondary--so you can install up to four separate hard disks.

PIO means Programmed Input/Output. Rather than having the BIOS

issue a series of commands to affect the transfer to or from the disk

drive, PIO allows the BIOS to tell the controller what it wants and then

let the controller and the CPU perform the complete task by them. This

is much simpler and more efficient (also faster).
