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.  
NOTE: DO NOT TOUCH THE BOARD OR ANY OTHER SENSITIVE  
COMPONENTS WITHOUT ALL NECESSARY ANTI-STATIC  
ROTECTION.

Mobile board. With features such as enhanced I/O effects with  
CRT/VGA, and LAN all combined, the HS-2601A is an ideal all-in-one  
compact-size board for the demanding embedded applications and IA  
platforms.  
Its onboard DMA33 to IDE drive interface architecture allows the  
HS-2601A to support data transfers of 33MB/sec with a maximum of  
two IDE drives. Its Intel® BX chipset design makes it possible for the  
board to support most Intel Mobile microprocessors in the market, The  
C&T 69000 CRT/Panel display controller offers an on-chip 2MB  
memory that supports up to 1280x1024x256 colors display resolution.  
For suitable installation into any size system with 8/16/32bit ISA and/or  
PCI slots operation, the board’s advanced PISA bus add-on feature  
allows user to easily obtain both ISA's 16bit and PCI's 32bit full set  
signals from a half size PISA slot. System memory is also sufficient  
with the two DIMM sockets that can support up to 256MB.  
Additional onboard connectors include an advanced USB and IrDA  
ports providing faster data transmission,  
a
DOS-compatible  
DiskOnChipsocket with a maximum capacity of 288MB, and one  
external RJ45 connector for 10/100 Base-TX Ethernet use.

To ensure the reliability in an unmanned or standalone system, the  
Watchdog Timer (WDT) onboard HS-2601A is designed with pure  
hardware that does not need the arithmetical functions of a real-time  
clock chip. If any program causes unexpected halts to the system, the  
onboard Watchdog Timer (WDT) will automatically reset the CPU or  
generate an interrupt to resolve such condition.

3.5 Configuring the CPU  
The HS-2601A, with its onboard BGA processor, auto-detects the  
features of the mounted microprocessor onboard. The HS-2601A  
automatically identifies the frequency and clock speed of the installed  
microprocessor chip, thereby eliminating the need for user to do  
additional CPU configuration or hardware settings related to it.  
9
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.

2
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 DiskOnChipAddress Setting  
The DiskOnChipfunction allows the system to boot or operate  
without a FDD or a HDD. DiskOnChipmodules 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 DiskOnChipmodule  
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 DiskOnChipModules  
When installing a DiskOnChipmodule 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 DiskOnChipmodule. 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.  
10  
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 DiskOnChipmodule,  
please consult a qualified technician or engineer to perform the  
installation.  
3.7.1 Removing DiskOnChipModules  
When removing a DiskOnChipmodule 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 DiskOnChipmodule,  
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.

The Watchdog Timer is disabled after the system Power-On. It can be  
enabled via an Enable cycle and reading the control port (443H), or via  
a Refresh cycle and reading the control port (443H), or via a Disable  
cycle and reading the disable control port (045H).  
20  
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  
Reset or NMI cycle to the system. There are three I/O ports that control  
the Watchdog Timer.

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  
27  
4.2 Using Setup  
In general, you 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 detail about how to navigate in the Setup program using  
the keyboard.

Memory:  
The category is display-only that is determined by POST (Power  
On Self Test) of the BIOS.  
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

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

4.8 PNP/PCI Configuration  
This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. PCI, or  
Personal Computer Interconnect, is a system that 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

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).

Change / Set / Disable Password  
You can set either supervisor or user password, or both of then. The  
differences between are:  
supervisor password: can enter and change the options of the setup  
menus.  
user password: just can only enter but do not have the right to change the  
options of the setup menus.  
When you select this function, the following message will appear at the  
center of the screen to assist you in creating a password.  
ENTER PASSWORD:  
Type the password, up to eight characters in length, and press  
<Enter>. The password typed now will clear any previously entered  
password from CMOS memory. You will be asked to confirm the  
password. Type the password again and press <Enter>. You may  
also press <Esc> to abort the selection and not enter a password.  
To disable a password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to  
enter the password. A message will confirm the password will be  
disabled. Once the password is disabled, the system will boot and you  
can enter Setup freely.  
PASSWORD DISABLED.  
53  
When a password has been enabled, you will be prompted to enter it  
every time you try to enter Setup. This prevents an unauthorized  
person from changing any part of your system configuration.  
Additionally, when a password is enabled, you can also require the  
BIOS to request a password every time your system is rebooted. This  
would prevent unauthorized use of your computer.  
You determine when the password is required within the BIOS  
Features Setup Menu and its Security option (see Section 3). If the  
Security option is set to “System”, the password will be required both at  
boot and at entry to Setup. If set to “Setup”, prompting only occurs  
when trying to enter Setup.  
4.13 IDE HDD Auto Detection  
This option detects the parameters of an IDE hard disk drive, and  
automatically enters them into the Standard CMOS Setup screen.  
Up to four IDE drives can be detected, with parameters for each  
appearing in sequence inside a box. To accept the displayed entries,  
press the Ykey; to skip to the next drive, press the Nkey. If you  
accept the values, the parameters will appear listed beside the drive  
letter on the screen.

Pressing <Enter> on this item asks for confirmation:  
Pressing “Y” stores the selections made in the menus in CMOS – a  
special section of memory that stays on after you turn your system off.  
The next time you boot your computer, the BIOS configures your  
system according to the Setup selections stored in CMOS. After saving
