1.5 System BIOS SETUP Program
The notebook uses the Phoenix BIOS Setup program that allows you to set several system
configurations in changing the way the system performs. This includes your system time and
date, disk drive configuration, I/O device controls, boot drive sequence, and power
management settings. The information is then stored in the CMOS RAM chip and will remain
permanent unless you change it again. The notebook also uses EPROM Flash BIOS that
allows you to update the system BIOS by simply overwriting it using the Phoenix Flash
programming utility.
Before boot-up, the system will read the BIOS settings and compare them to the equipment
check conducted during the POST (Power-On Self-Test). If an error occurs, an error message
will be displayed on the screen, and you will then be prompted to run the BIOS Setup
Program. Press the <F2> key to run the BIOS Setup program. The BIOS Setup program is
organized into five menus which you can select using the <Å> and <Æ> keys. To move from
one option to another, you use the up and down arrow keys.
On the BIOS Setup program, you will find the following parts on the screen:
•

Menu Bar - found on the top line of the screen. Each of the five items has a separate
menu screen.
Parameters - found on the left side of the screen. This area lists the parameters and

parameter and its available settings.

1.6 Notebook Accessories and System Options
It is also important to understand the accessories that come along with the notebook and the
options for fully utilizing the capabilities of the computer. This section describes briefly what
these accessories and options are.
1.6.1 AC Adapter and Power Cord
The AC Adapter supplies external power to your computer and at the same time charges the
internal battery pack. The AC adapter has an auto-switching design that can connect to any
100VAC ~ 240VAC power outlets. Connect the adapter to the AC wall outlet using the power
cord. There is an LED on the AC adapter to indicate if DC power is already available.
1.6.2 Battery Pack
Aside from the AC adapter, your computer can also be powered through the removable
battery pack. The battery pack uses rechargeable or Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery cells that can
run for 2 to 2.5 hours when fully charged and power management enabled. Recharging the
battery takes around 2.5 to 3 hours when the computer is off.
You should always leave the battery inside your computer even when using the AC adapter as
it also acts as back-up power supply in case power from the AC adapter is cut off. It is also
very important to have the battery pack always charged to prevent battery cell degradation. If
the AC adapter is not connected or not available, and the notebook is not going to be used for
some period, it is advisable to remove the battery pack from the notebook to prevent any
current leak.
1.6.3 Internal Modem Module
The notebook provides S/W modem. The internal modem supports only fax and data
communication and is V.90-compliant. You connect the telephone line to the RJ-11 jack
found on the rear side of the notebook.
1.6.4 Internal Ethernet LAN Module
This notebook comes with an optional 10Base-T/100Base-TX LAN module that supports data
transfer rates at 10Mbps and can be up to 100Mbps.
1.6.5 DVD-ROM Drive
Other than the internal CD-ROM drive, the notebook also provides optional factory built-in
DVD-ROM drive. DVD-ROM drives are also backward compatible with CD-ROM, so you
can also use any audio CDs, video CDs, photo CDs, and CD-R. Using a software MPEG-
2/DVD program, the notebook can playback any commercial DVD movie titles.
1.6.6 CD-RW Drive
This device pack can write data to CD-R or CD-RW CD for you to backup the data.
1.6.7 CD-RW/DVD Combo Drive
This device pack can write data to CD-R or CD-RW CD for you to backup the data and also
can read DVD/CD title.

2.3.8 System BIOS Upgrade Procedure
The notebook supports EPROM Flash BIOS that allows you to easily update the system BIOS
using the Phoenix BIOS Flash utility program called “PHLASH.COM”. This program runs
under MS-DOS and requires the system not to load high memory like HIMEM.SYS. It also
needs the “PLATFORM.BIN” file in order to activate.
Follow the steps below on how to update the system BIOS:
1. Prepare a clean bootable diskette without loading the HIMEM.SYS. Copy the files
PHLASH.COM and PLATFORM.BIN into the diskette along with the BIOS ROM file.
2. Restart the computer and boot from the diskette. At the DOS prompt, type the command
“PHLASH <BIOSfile.ROM>” to activate Flash BIOS programming utility. The
computer will then start to update the system BIOS inside the notebook.
3. After programming is complete, the system will prompt you to press any key to shutdown
the computer. The BIOS version is displayed inside the BIOS Setup Main menu. Press
<F2> after power on to run CMOS Setup program.
BIOS Version: 1.0A-0716-0724
L
L
It is very important not to power off the system whenever the FLASH BIOS
program is running. Otherwise, the system may not be able to power on and you
need to replace the BIOS EPROM chip from another working notebook.
Always plug in the AC adapter when updating the BIOS.

3.3.5 Enhanced IDE
The system BIOS must be ready to support 4 IDE devises on two controllers. The
BIOS support Ultra DMA33/66/100 and also supports automatic configuration of drives
using both the LBA and CHS large drive remapping method. In addition to supporting
standard drives through an auto-configuration process that does NOT require user
involvement or confirmation. The system should automatically do this at POST time in a
way that is transparent to the user. If a drive is connected to the bus, the drive should be
automatically recognized, configured and available for use under MS-DOS 6.2x.

Power Management
This section provides the Power Management software function of the notebook.
3.5.1 General Requirements
The BIOS meet the following general Power Management requirements:
Refers to the portion of the firmware that is compatible with the ACPI 1.0 specifications.
Support for Suspend-to-RAM (S3 state) and Suspend-to-Disk mode (S4 state).
Support the Wake up event from Modem Ring in S3~S4 state. This is enabled by a CMOS
Setup option.
Support the Wake up event from RTC Time/Date alarm in S3~S4 state. This is enabled by
a CMOS Setup option.
Power Management must not substantially affect or degrade system performance.
3.5.2 System Power Plane
The system components are grouped as the following parties to let the system to control the
On/Off of power under different power management modes.
The power plane is divided as following:

applications with maximum performance.
z
Doze mode
3-18
FIC M295 / M296 Service Manual
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Software Functional Overview
The CPU clock is slow down and all other devices are full-on.
z
Stand by mode
A suspend state where all motherboard components are still powered-on except for the
system clock generator device. The PCI and CPU buses are driven to the inactive idle state.
The system memory is powered and refreshed by the memory bridge, and the graphics frame
buffer is powered and refreshed by the graphic chip. The system provides a 32Khz clock
(SUSCLK) in this suspend mode to support refresh of these memory subsystems. Only an
enabled “resume event” can bring the system out of the stand by state. The SIS 961 also
provides a resume timer that allows the system to resume after a programmed time has
elapsed.
z
Suspend to RAM mode (STR)
A suspend state where all motherboard components are powered-off. The CPU/L2 and
PCI busses are powered off. All devices connected to the CPU/L2 and PCI busses must either
be powered-off or isolate their bus interfaces. The system memory is powered and refreshed
by the memory bridge, and the graphics frame buffer is powered and refreshed by the
graphics chip. The system provides a 32 kHz clock (SUSCLK) in this suspend mode to
support refresh of these memory subsystems. Only an enabled “resume event” can bring the
platform out of the suspend to RAM (STR) state.
z
Suspend to Disk mode (STD)
A suspend state where the context of the entire system is saved to disk, all motherboard
components are powered-off, and all clocks are stopped. Any enabled “resume event”, such as
PowerBTN or RTC, can bring the platform out of the suspend to disk (STD) state.
z
Soft off mode (SOFF)
The This is the same as suspend to disk except the context of memory is not saved. The system
will resume from Soft Off as if a hard reset had occurred.
z
Mechanical off mode
All power except the RTC has been removed from the system.

3.6.2 Thermal Control
ACPI allows OS to be proactive in its system cooling policies. With OS in control of the
operating environment, cooling decisions can be made based on application load on the CPU
and the thermal heuristics of the system. Graceful shutdown of OS at critical heat levels
becomes possible as well. The following sections describe the thermal objects available to OS
to control platform temperature. ACPI expects all temperatures to be given in tenths of
Kelvin.
The ACPI thermal design is based around regions called thermal zones. Generally, the entire
PC is one large thermal zone, but an OEM can partition the system into several thermal zones
if necessary.
z
Active, Passive, and Critical Policies
There are three primary cooling policies that the OS uses to control the thermal state of the
hardware. The policies are Active, Passive and Critical:
−
Passive cooling: The OS reduces the power consumption of the system to reduce the
thermal output of the machine by slowing the processor clock. The _PSV control
method is used to declare the temperature to start passive cooling.
−
−
Active cooling: The OS takes a direct action such as turning on a fan. The _ACx
control methods declare the temperatures to start different active cooling levels.
Critical trip point: This is the threshold temperature at which the OS performs an
orderly, but critical, shut down of the system. The _CRT object declares the critical
temperature at which the OS must perform a critical shutdown.
When a thermal zone appears, the OS runs control methods to retrieve the three temperature
points at which it executes the cooling policy. When the OS receives a thermal SCI it will run
the _TMP control method, which returns the current temperature of the thermal zone. The OS
checks the current temperature against the thermal event temperatures. If _TMP is greater
than or equal to _ACx then the OS will turn on the associated active cooling device(s). If
_TMP is greater than or equal to _PSV then the OS will perform CPU throttling. Finally if
_TMP is greater than or equal to _CRT then the OS will shutdown the system.

Software Functional Overview
An optimally designed system that uses several SCI events can notify the OS of thermal
increase or decrease by raising an interrupt every several degrees. This enables the OS to
anticipate _ACx, PSV, or _CRT events and incorporate heuristics to better manage the
systems temperature.The operating system can request that the hardware change the priority
of active cooling vs passive cooling.
z
Dynamically Changing Cooling Temperatures
An OEM can reset _ACx and _PSV and notify the OS to reevaluate the control methods to
retrieve the new temperature settings. The following three causes are the primary uses for this
thermal notification:
−
−
When a user changes from one cooling mode to the other.
When a swappable bay device is inserted or removed. A swappable bay is a slot that
can accommodate several different devices that have identical form factors, such as a
CD-ROM drive, disk drive, and so on. Many mobile PCs have this concept already in
place.
−
When the temperature reaches an _ACx or the _PSV policy settings
In each situation, the OEM-provided AML code must execute a Notify ( thermal_zone, 0x80)
statement to request the OS to re-evaluate each policy temperature by running the _PSV and
_ACx control methods.
„
Resetting Cooling Temperatures from the User Interface
When the user employs the UI to change from one cooling mode to the other, the
following occurs:
1. The OS notifies the hardware of the new cooling mode by running the Set
Cooling Policy (_SCP) control method.
2. When the hardware receives the notification, it can set a new temperature
for both cooling policies and notify the OS that the thermal zone policy
temperatures have changed.
3. The OS re-evaluates _PSV and _ACx.
„
Resetting Cooling Temperatures to Adjust to Bay Device
Insertion or Removal
The hardware can adjust the thermal zone temperature to accommodate the
maximum operating temperature of a bay device as necessary. For example,
1. Hardware detects that a device was inserted into or removed from the bay
and resets the _PSV and/or _ACx and then notifies the OS of the thermal
and device insertion events.
2. The OS reenumerates the devices and reevaluates _PSV and _ACx.

resetting cooling temperatures. For example,
1. When the heat increases to the temperature designated by _ACx, the OS
will turn on the associated active cooling device and the hardware will
reset the ACx value to a lower temperature.
2. The hardware will then run the Notify command and the OS will
reevaluate the new temperatures. Because of the lower _ACx value now,
the fan will be turned off at a lower temperature than when turned on.
3. When the temperature hits the lower _ACx value, the OS will turn off the
fan and reevaluate the control methods when notified.
3.6.3 Hardware Thermal Events
An ACPI-compatible OS expects the hardware to generate a thermal event notification
through the use of the SCI. When the OS receives the SCI event, it will run the _TMP control
method to evaluate the current temperature. Then the OS will compare the value to the
cooling policy temperatures. If the temperature has crossed over one of the three policy
thresholds, then the OS will actively or passively cool (or stop cooling) the system, or
shutdown the system entirely.

SCI Event
Both the number of SCI events to be implemented and the granularity of the temperature
separation between each SCI event is OEM-specific. However, it is important to note that
since the OS can use heuristic knowledge to help cool the system, the more events the OS
receives the better understanding it will have of the system thermal characteristic.
3.6.4 Active Cooling Strength
The Active cooling methods (_Acx) in conjunction with active cooling lists (_ALx), allows an
OEM to use a device that offers varying degrees of cooling capability or multiple cooling
devices. The _ACx method designates the temperature at which the Active cooling is enabled
or disabled (depending upon the direction in which the temperature is changing). The _ALx
method evaluates to a list of devices that actively cool the zone. For example:

Software Functional Overview
•
•
•
If a standard single-speed fan is the Active cooling device, then the policy is
represented by the temperature to which _AC0 evaluates, and the fan is listed in
_AL0.
If the zone uses two independently-controlled single-speed fans to regulate the
temperature, then _AC0 will evaluate to the maximum cooling temperature using two
fans, and _AC1 will evaluate to the standard cooling temperature using one fan.
If a zone has a single fan with a low speed and a high speed, the _AC0 will evaluate
to the temperature associated with running the fan at high-speed, and _AC1 will
evaluate to the temperature associated with running the fan at low speed. _AL0 and
_AL1 will both point to different device objects associated with the same physical fan,
but control the fan at different speeds.
3.6.5 Passive Cooling Equation
Unlike the case for _ACx, during passive cooling the OS takes the initiative to actively
monitor the temperature in order to cool the platform. On an ACPI-compatible platform that
properly implements CPU throttling, the temperature transitions will be similar to the
following figure.
100%
Tn - 1
Δ
P
Tn
Tt
_TSP (Sampling period)
50%
Time
For the OS to assess the optimum CPU performance change required to bring the temperature
down, the following equation must be incorporated into the OS.
ΔP [%] = _TC1 * ( Tn - Tn-1 ) + _TC2 * (Tn - Tt)
where
Tn = current temperature
Tt = target temperature (_PSV)
The two coefficients _TC1 and _TC2 and the sampling period _TSP are hardware-dependent
constants the OEM must supply to the OS (for more information, see section 12.3). The
object _TSP contains a time interval that the OS uses to poll the hardware to sample the
temperature. Whenever _TSP time has elapsed, the OS will run _TMP to sample the current
temperature (shown as Tn in the above equation). Then the OS will use the sampled
temperature and _PSV (which is the target temperature Tt) to evaluate the equation for ΔP.

Software Functional Overview
The granularity of ΔP is determined by the CPU duty width of the system. A detailed
explanation of this thermal feedback equation is beyond the scope of this specification.
3.6.6 Critical Shutdown
When the heat reaches the temperature indicated by _CRT, the OS must immediately
shutdown the system. The system must disable the power either after the temperature reaches
some hardware-determined level above _CRT or after a predetermined time has passed.
Before disabling power, platform designers should incorporate some time that allows the OS
to run its critical shutdown operation. There is no requirement for a minimum shutdown
operation window that commences immediately after the temperature reaches _CRT. This is
because
−
−
Heat might rise rapidly in some systems and slower on others, depending on casing
design and environmental factors.
Shutdown can take several minutes on a server and only a few short seconds on a
hand-held device.
Because of this indistinct discrepancy and the fact that a critical heat situation is a remarkably
rare occurrence, ACPI does not specify a target window for a safe shutdown. It is entirely up
to the OEM to build in a safe buffer that it sees fit for the target platform.
3.6.7 Other Implementation of Thermal Controllable
Devices
The ACPI thermal event model is flexible enough to accommodate control of almost any
system device capable of controlling heat. For example, if a mobile PC requires the battery
charger to reduce the charging rate in order to reduce heat it can be seamlessly implemented
as an ACPI cooling device. Associating the charger as an active cooling device and reporting
to the OS target temperatures that will enable or disable the power resource to the device do
this. Figure as following illustrates the implementation. Because the example does not create
noise, this will be an implementation of silence mode.

_Acx
This control method returns the temperature at which the OS must start or stop Active
cooling, where x is a value between 0 and 9 that designates multiple active cooling levels of
the thermal zone. If the Active cooling device has one cooling level (that is, n”) then that
cooling level is named _AC0. If the cooling device has two levels of capability, such as a
high fan speed and a low fan speed, then they are named _AC0 and _AC1 respectively. The
smaller the value of x, the greater the cooling strength _ACx represents. In the above example,
_AC0 represents the greater level of cooling (the faster fan speed) and _AC1 represents the
lesser level of cooling (the slower fan speed). For every ACx method, there must be a
matching ALx method.

4.5 System Core Logic
The system core logic function of the notebook is implemented on the CPU module and
motherboard using the SiS645DX IGUI HMAC. The SiS645DX Host & Memory & AGP
Controller integrates a high performance host interface for Intel Pentium 4 processor, a high
performance memory controller, a AGP interface, and SiS MuTIOL Technology connecting w/
SiS962L MuTIOL Media IO.
The SiS645DX Host Interface features the AGTL & AGTL+ compliant bus driver
technology with integrated on-die termination to support Intel Pentium 4 series processors
with FSB 100 MHz and over clocking up to 133MHz. It provides a 12-level In-Order-Queue
to support maximum outstanding transactions on host bus up to 12. The host interface plays
the role of processor transactions’ dispatcher. It dispatches transactions to Memory, I/O
interface and AGP bus. Transactions to different destinations can be dispatched concurrently
in order to maximum pipeline efficiency. In addition to dispatching processor’s transactions to
corresponding destinations, host interface also forward DMA transactions from AGP masters
and I/O masters to host bus for snooping, including master interrupt delivery. The memory
controller can support both DDR and SDR. It can offer bandwidth up to 2.7GB/s under
DDR333 and 1GB/s under PC133 in order to sustain the bandwidth demand from host
processor, as well as the multi I/O masters and AGP masters. The Memory Controller mainly
comprises the Memory Arbiter, the M-data/M-Command Queues, and the Memory Interface.
The Memory Arbiter arbitrates a plenty of memory access Host Controller, and I/O bus
masters based on a default optimized priority list with the capability of dynamically prioritizing
the I/O bus master requests in a bid to offering privileged service to 1) the isochronous
downstream transfer to guarantee the min. latency & timely delivery,or 2) the PCI master
upstream transfer to curb the latency within the maximum tolerant period of 10us. Prior to the
memory access requests pushed into the M-data queue, any command compliant to the
paging mechanism is generated and pushed into the M-CMD queue. The M-data/M-CMD
Queues further orders and forwards these queuing requests to the Memory Interface in an
effort to utilizing the memory bandwidth to its utmost by scheduling the command requests in
the background when the data requests streamlines in the foreground. The memory
controller also supports the Suspend to RAM function by retaining the CKE# pins asserted in
ACPI S3 state in which only AUX source deliver power.
The AGP interface can support external AGP slot with AGP 1X/2X/4X capability and Fast
Write Transactions. A high bandwidth and mature SiS MuTIOL technology is incorporated to
connect SiS645DX and SiS962L MuTIOL Media I/O together. SiS MuTIOL technology is
developed into three layers, the Multi-threaded I/O Link Channels Layer delivering 1.2GB
bandwidth to connect embedded DMA Master devices and external PCI masters to interface
to Multi-threaded I/O Link Packet layer, the Multi-threaded I/O Link Packet Layer in SiS961
to transfer data w/ 533 MB/s bandwidth from/to Multi-threaded I/O Link Channels layer
to/from SiS645DX, and the Multi threaded I/O Link Packet Layer in SiS645DX to transfer

Hardware Functional Overview
The pointing device subsystem consists of the built-in Synaptics touch pad pointing device
module on the system top cover assembly and a pre-programmed Mitsubishi 38869M8 micro-
controller that interfaces the mouse device to the Motherboard. The touch pad module is
connected to battery board through a 6-pin FPC cable. An external PS/2 port also supports the
use of an external PS/2 compatible mouse where the system automatically detects on system
power up and runs both internal and external mouse simultaneously.
The Synaptic touch pad, a pointing device for personal computers, detects the position of a
finger over a touch-sensitive area. To move the cursor, the user lightly slides a finger over the
smooth sensor area. To ‘click’, the user gently taps on the surface.
The ultra-thin module is the thinnest PCB based touchpad available today. It is a capacitive
sensor - the finger is detected by measuring its effect on an array of capacitive lines integrated
into the PC board. The pad senses both the finger’s position and its contact area (X, Y, and
Z). The area of contact is a measure of applied pressure. One side of the module PC board is
the sensor surface; electronic components are mounted on the other side. The sensitive area is
protected by a layer of smooth and durable mylar.
The Synaptic touch pad communicates with the host via a standard PS/2 mouse or trackball
interface. It is fully compatible with the standard Microsoft mouse driver. The module
connector includes the PS/2 signal pins, power supply pins and two connections for external
button switches.
The Synaptic touch pad includes a special “edge-motion” feature that allows the user to
extend a drag operation when the finger reaches the edge of the sensor pad. The cursor
continues to coast in the indicated direction when the finger is held against the edge.
4.14 Disk Drives Subsystem
The disk drives subsystem, implemented on the Motherboard and on the associated internal
hard disk drive assembly and device bay, provides disk storage for all system software and
user files.
The notebook is equipped with high capacity hard disk drive using Enhanced IDE controller
with LBA (Logical Block Addressing) and Ultra DMA mode support.
The SiS 692L controller chip provides the Primary IDE controller for the internal hard disk,
and the Secondary Master for the CD-ROM.
The floppy disk drive supports standard 3.5-inch 720KB and 1.44MB mini-diskettes while
adding support for 1.2MB (3 Mode) mini-diskettes for Japanese market.
The notebook uses the 24X-speed IDE CD-ROM Drive that reads digital data stored on CD-
ROM at 24 times faster rotational speed. The CD-ROM drive supports CD-DA transfer over
ATAPI function that the host system can read CD audio data. The drive also supports Photo-
CD Multi-session disc compatibility and Multimedia PC-3 specification compatibility. The
notebook also could use the 8X+ speed IDE DVD-ROM Drive that reads DVD digital data
stored on DVD-ROM at 8 times faster rotational speed.

it should take around 8 hours when the computer is running. Running time of battery is
around 2 to 2.5 hours.
4.15.3 DC-DC Module of Motherboard
The DC-DC module receives approximately 12VDC from the battery pack and uses this input
voltage to generate multiple regulated output voltages to provide power for all internal
notebook board assemblies.
4.15.4 LCD Inverter Board Assembly
The LCD Inverter Board Assembly is located in the LCD Panel Assembly. It converts the
+12VDC input directly from the Battery Pack into a high voltage AC output used to light the
CCFT (Cold-Cathode Fluorescent Tube).
4.16 Micro-P Subsystem (PMU-08)
The micro controller Mitsubishi PMU08 acts as a supplement for the power management
control. It supports many functions via the SMBus interface.
The system communicates with the PMU08 via the SMBus interface. The SMBus host
(M38869) should be first initialized before starting the transaction. The following is the
procedure for system communication with PMU08:

6.2.3 Beep Codes
Beep codes are used to identify a POST error that occurs when the screen is not available.
Once the screen is operating, diagnostic messages are reported to the screen. There are beep
codes for both fatal and non-fatal system board errors.
L
No beep code is generated if a test is aborted while in progress. However,
diagnostic cards can be installed in order to display the contents of the
diagnostic port 80h and identify the area of failure.
Explanation of test terms for beep code table
The following terms are used in the Test Performed column of the beep code table:
1. Pattern test - One or more particular patterns are written to a location then read back
from the same location. Examples of patterns used are 55h and AAh. If the value read
does not match the value written, the test is considered a failure.
2. Rolling ones test - Several patterns are constructed. These patterns represent a one rolling
through the given location. For example, to roll a one through three bits, the following
patterns would be constructed: 001, 010, 011, 100, 101, 110, and 111. The patterns are
written to the location and then read back, one by one. If the value read does not match
the value written, the test is considered a failure.
3. Rolling zeros test - Several patterns are constructed. These patterns represent a zero
rolling through the given location. For example, to roll a zero through three bits, the
following patterns would be constructed: 011, 001, and 000. The patterns are written to
the location and then read back, one by one. If the value read does not match the value
written, the test is considered a failure.
4. Checksum test - All of the values in a given range of locations are added together. The
range includes a location which when added to sum of the ranges, will produce a known
result, such as zero.
