Product Warranty 
EMAC warrants to you, the original purchaser, that each of its products will be free from 
defects in materials and workmanship for two years from the date of purchase. 
This warranty does not apply to any products which have been repaired or altered by 
persons other than repair personnel authorized by EMAC, or which have been subject to 
misuse, abuse, accident or improper installation. EMAC assumes no liability under the 
terms of this warranty as a consequence of such events. Because of EMAC’s high 
quality-control standards and rigorous testing, most of our customers never need to use 
our repair service. If an EMAC product is defective, it will be repaired or replaced at no 
charge during the warranty period. For out-of-warranty repairs, you will be billed according 
to the cost of replacement materials, service time, and freight. Please consult your dealer 
for more details. If you think you have a defective product, follow these steps: 
1. Collect all the information about the problem encountered. (For example, CPU type 
and speed, EMAC product model name, hardware & BIOS revision number, other 
hardware and software used, etc.) Note anything abnormal and list any on-screen 
messages you get when the problem occurs. 
2. Call your dealer and describe the problem. Please have your manual, product, and any 
helpful information readily available. 
3. If your product is diagnosed as defective, obtain an RMA (return material authorization) 
number from your dealer. This allows us to process your good return more quickly. 
4. Carefully pack the defective product, a complete Repair and Replacement Order Card 
and a photocopy proof of purchase date (such as your sales receipt) in a shippable 
container. A product returned without proof of the purchase date is not eligible for 
warranty service.

1. Manual Objectives 
 
This manual describes in detail the EMAC, Inc. PCM-6892E Single Board 
Computer. 
We have tried to include as much information as possible but we have not duplicated 
information that is provided in the standard IBM Technical References, unless it proved to 
be necessary to aid in the understanding of this board. 
We strongly recommend that you study this manual carefully before attempting to 
interface with PCM-6892E or change the standard configurations. Whilst all the necessary 
information is available in this manual we would recommend that unless you are confident, 
you contact your supplier for guidance. 
Please be aware that it is possible to create configurations within the CMOS RAM that 
make booting impossible. If this should happen, clear the CMOS settings, (see the 
description of the Jumper Settings for details). 
If you have any suggestions or find any errors concerning this manual and want to inform 
us of these, please contact our Customer Service department with the relevant details.

(SDRAM) and Virtual Channel SDRAM (VC SDRAM), in a flexible mix / match manner. 
The Synchronous DRAM interface allows zero wait state bursting between the DRAM and 
the data buffers at 66/100/133 MHz. The eight banks of DRAM can be composed of an 
arbitrary mixture of 1M / 2M / 4M / 8M / 16M / 32MxN DRAMs. The DRAM controller also 
supports optional ECC (single-bit error correction and multi-bit detection) or EC (error 
checking) capability separately selectable on a bank-by-bank basis. The DRAM controller 
can run at either the host CPU bus frequency (66 /100 /133MHz) or at the AGP bus 
frequency (66 MHz) with built-in PLL timing control. 
2.3.3 AGP Interface 
The VT82C694X system controller also supports full AGP v2.0 capability for maximum 
bus utilization including 2x and 4x mode transfers, SBA (SideBand Addressing), 
Flush/Fence commands, and pipelined grants. An eight level request queue plus a four 
level post-write request queue with thirty-two and sixteen quadwords of read and write 
data FIFO's respectively are included for deep pipelined and split AGP transactions. A 
single-level GART TLB with 16 full associative entries and flexible CPU / AGP / PCI 
remapping control is also provided for operation under protected mode operating 
environments. Both Windows-95 VXD and Windows-98 / NT5 miniport drivers are 
supported for interoperability with major AGP-based 3D and DVD-capable multimedia 
accelerators.

2.3.4 PCI Interface 
The VT82C694X supports two 32-bit 3.3 / 5V system buses (one AGP and one PCI) that 
are synchronous / pseudo-synchronous to the CPU bus. The chip also contains a built-in 
bus-to-bus bridge to allow simultaneous concurrent operations on each bus. Five levels 
(doublewords) of post write buffers are included to allow for concurrent CPU and PCI 
operation. For PCI master operation, forty-eight levels (doublewords) of post write buffers 
and sixteen levels (doublewords) of prefetch buffers are included for concurrent PCI bus 
and DRAM/cache accesses. The chip also supports enhanced PCI bus commands such 
as Memory-Read-Line, Memory-Read-Multiple and Memory-Write-Invalid commands to 
minimize snoop overhead. In addition, advanced features are supported such as snoop 
ahead, snoop filtering, L1 write-back forward to PCI master, and L1 write-back merged 
with PCI post write buffers to minimize PCI master read latency and DRAM utilization. 
Delay transaction and read caching mechanisms are also implemented for further 
improvement of overall system performance.

2.3.9 Panel Interface 
Alternative displays to the standard CRT monitor are digital flat panel interfaces in which 
the color of each pixel is digitally encoded. The panel data may be transferred in parallel 
where the color of each pixel is transferred over a number of signal lines at rates up to 
80MHz. 
Lynx3DM supports both color dual scan STN (passive) and color TFT (active) panel 
interface. It can also support color TFT panel with RGB analog interface. For color DSTN 
panel, Lynx3DM can support 16-bit and 24-bit interfaces up to 1600x1200 resolution. For 
color TFT panel, Lynx3DM can support single pixel per clock of 9-bit, 12-bit, 18-bit, 24-bit, 
or double-pixel per clock of 24-bit, 36-bit interfaces up to 1280x1024 resolution. 
Lynx3DM supports two separate digital LCDs. Both LCDs need to be TFT interface. FP1 
has to be only 18-bit TFT interface and FP2 has to be 24-bit TFT interface. DSTN panel 
cannot be supported under dual digital LCD mode. Dual Digital LCD mode is supported 
through the Virtual Refresh architecture. FP1 and FP2 must be in Virtual Refresh mode. 
FP1 clocks the data based on VRCLK (Virtual Refresh Clock); whereas FP2 clocks the 
data based on FIFOCLK (based on Video Clock). 
The parallel interface is only suitable for short distance (less than 50 cm) and is typically 
implemented by using of ribbon cables. One should be careful in the EMC design of the 
box and cabling when this interface is used. 
It should also be noted that the signal level of this interface is 3.3V, but does comply with 
the TTL signal levels. Some or most older displays require a 5V signal level. 
2.3.10 Zoom Video Port 
Lynx3DM's Zoom Video Port (ZV Port) is designed to interface with video solutions 
implemented as PCMCIA (or PC CardBus) cards: examples are NTSC/PAL decoders, 
MPEG-2 decoders, and JPEG Codecs. The ZV Port can also directly interface with an 
NTSC/PAL decoder, such as Philips 7111 or BT819. 
Incoming video data from the ZV Port interface can be YUV or RGB format. The data can 
be interlaced or non-interlaced. The ZV Port can be configured for output if the video 
capture function is disabled. 18-bit graphics and video data in RGB format can be sent out 
when the ZV Port is configured for output mode. The ZV Port may also be configured as a 
test port. Up to 20 signals from each of the logic blocks within Lynx3DM can be brought 
out to an internal test bus (TD Bus) connected to the ZV Port. System designers or silicon 
validation engineers can access these signals by setting the TEST0, TEST1, USR0, USR1, 
and USR2 pins. This approach can bring out a total of 180 internal signals to the primary 
I/O pins. The test port capability can be used to enhance fault coverage, as well as 
reduces silicon validation or debugging time. 
The Video Capture Unit captures incoming video data from the ZV Port and then stores 
the data into the frame buffer. 
PCM-6892E User’s Manual  11
User’s Manual 
 
The Video Capture Unit support several features to maintain display quality, and balance 
the capture rate: 
� 2-tap, 3-tap, and 4-tap horizontal filtering 
� 2 to 1 and 4 to 1 reduction for horizontal and vertical frame size 
� YUV 4:2:2, YUV 4:2:2 with byte swap, RGB 5:5:5, and RGB 5:6:5 
� Multiple frame skipping methods 
� Interlaced data and non-interlaced data capture 
� Single buffer and double buffer capture 
� Cropping 
Lynx3DM uses the Video Processor block to display the captured data on the LCD, TV, or 
CRT display. The captured data can be displayed through Video Window I or Video 
Window II. The stretching, color interpolation, YUV-to-RGB conversion, and color key 
functions are performed in the Video Processor. Lynx3DM's Video Processor can 
simultaneously process captured video data and perform CD-ROM playback on two 
independent video windows. 
Lynx3DM also supports real-time video capture to the hard drive or system memory 
through PCI master mode or slave mode. In PCI bus master mode, Lynx3DM uses the 
Drawing Engine's Host BLT and Host DMA functions to maximize performance. 
2.3.11 TV Encoder 
The TV Encoder is an NTSC/PAL Composite Video/S-video Encoder. It receives RGB 
inputs and converts to digital video signals based on CCIR 624 format. 
The input video signal of the TV Encoder is RGB 8-bit each. The sampling rate is 
corresponding to CCIR 601, Square pixel and 4Fsc (NTSC only). 
The output video signals of the TV Encoder are Composite video signal and S-video 
signals of 10-bit each. These output signals are over-sampled by a double frequency clock 
called CLKX2. This feature helps to simplify external analog filtering. 
The TV Encoder video timing is controlled by vertical sync and the horizontal sync input 
signals. The blank signal input is optional. If the blank signal input signal is pulled up, 
internal blanking control will be performed. 
Macrovision 7.01 and closed captioning functions are included. 
Key features are summarized as the following: 
� NTSC/PAL interlace mode digital video encoder 
� Composite Video and S-Video digital output 
� CCIR 601, Square pixel and 4Fsc (NTSC only) resolution RGB input 
� Slave timing operation 
� Interlace mode operation 
� 2x over-sampling data output to simplify external analog filtering 
� Selectable pedestal level OIRE/7.5IRE for NTSC 
� Macrovision function (version 7.01) 
� Closed captioning function

2.3.12 Ethernet 
The Ethernet interfaces are based on two Intel 82559ER Ethernet controllers, which 
support both 100Mbit as well as l0Mbit Base-T interface. 
The Ethernet controllers are attached to the PCI bus and use PCI bus mastering for data 
transfer. The CPU is thereby not loaded during the actual data transfer. 
The 82559ER is part of Intel's second-generation family of fully integrated 10BASE-
T/100BASE-TX LAN solutions. The 82559ER consists of both the Media Access 
Controller (MAC) and the physical layer (PHY) combined into a single component solution. 
82559 family members build on the basic functionality of the 82558 and contain power 
management enhancements. 
The 82559ER is a 32-bit PCI controller that features enhanced scatter-gather bus 
mastering capabilities, which enables the 82559ER to perform high-speed data transfers 
over the PCI bus. The 82559ER bus master capabilities enable the component to process 
high-level commands and perform multiple operations, thereby off-loading communication 
tasks from the system CPU. Two large transmit and receive FIFOs of 3 Kbytes each help 
prevent data underruns and overruns, allowing the 82559ER to transmit data with 
minimum interframe spacing (IFS). 
The 82559ER can operate in either full duplex or half duplex mode. In full duplex mode 
the 82559ER adheres to the IEEE 802.3x Flow Control specification. Half duplex 
performance is enhanced by a proprietary collision reduction mechanism. 
The 82559ER includes a simple PHY interface to the wire transformer at rates of 10BASE-
T and 100BASE-TX, and Auto-Negotiation capability for speed, duplex, and flow control. 
These features and others reduce cost, real estate, and design complexity. 
The 82559ER also includes an interface to a serial (4-pin) EEPROM and a parallel 
interface to a 128 Kbyte Flash memory. The EEPROM provides power-on initialization for 
hardware and software configuration parameters

Compact Flash storage card is IDE compatible. It is an ideal replacement for standard IDE 
hard drives. The solid-state design offers no seek errors even under extreme shock and 
vibration conditions. The Compact Flash storage card is extremely small and highly 
suitable for rugged environments, thus providing an excellent solution for mobile 
applications with space limitations. It is fully compatible with all consumer applications 
designed for data storage PC card, PDA, and Smart Cellular Phones, allowing simple use 
for the end user. The Compact Flash storage card is O/S independent, thus offering an 
optimal solution for embedded systems operating in non-standard computing 
environments. The Compact Flash storage card is IDE compatible and offers various 
capacities. 
2.3.14 Panel Link Interface (Optional) 
®
The SiI164 transmitter uses PanelLink Digital technology to support displays ranging 
from VGA to UXGA resolutions (25 - 165Mpps) in a single link interface. The SiI164 
transmitter has a highly flexible interface with either a 12-bit mode (½ pixel per clock edge) 
or 24-bit mode 1-pixel/clock input for true color (16.7 million) support. In 24-bit mode, the 
SiI164 supports single or dual edge clocking. In 12-bit mode, the SiI164 supports dual 
edge single clocking or single edge dual clocking. The SiI164 can be programmed though 
an I2C interface. The SiI164 support Receiver and Hot Plug Detection. 
PanelLink Digital technology simplifies PC design by resolving many of the system level 
issues associated with high-speed mixed signal design, providing the system designer 
with a digital interface solution that is quicker to market and lower in cost.

3.6 Setting Jumpers 
You can configure your board to match the needs of your application by setting jumpers. A 
jumper is the simplest kind of electric switch. 
It consists of two metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected by a plastic cover) that 
slides over the pins to connect them. To “close” a jumper you connect the pins with the 
clip. To “open” a jumper you remove the clip. Sometimes a jumper will have three pins, 
labeled 1, 2, and 3. In this case, you would connect either two pins. 
 
The jumper settings are schematically depicted in this manual as follows: 
 
A pair of needle-nose pliers may be helpful when working with jumpers. 
If you have any doubts about the best hardware configuration for your application, contact 
your local distributor or sales representative before you make any changes. 
3.7 Clear CMOS (J3) 
You can use J3 to clear the CMOS data if necessary. To reset the CMOS data, set J3 to 
2-3 closed for just a few seconds, and then move the jumper back to 1-2 closed.

RxD/TxD +/- Bi-directional data signal pair.   
Received data is available in Serial Port 2 Receiver Buffer Register. 
Data is transferred from Serial Port 2 Transmit Buffer Register to the communication line, if 
the TxD line driver is enabled through the Serial Port 2’s DTR signal (Modem control 
register). The data transmitted will simultaneously be received the in Serial Port 2 Receiver 
Buffer Register. 
CTS/RTS +/- Bi-directional control signal pair.  
The level of this differential signal pair could be read from the Serial Port 1’s CTS signal 
(Modem control register). The level of this differential signal pair could be controlled through 
the Serial Port 2’s RTS signal (Modem control register). The control signal line driver is 
enabled through the Serial Port 2’s CSE signal (in EMAC control register). 
 
Warning:  Do not select a mode different from the one used by the connected peripheral, 
as this may damage CPU board and/or peripheral.   
The transmitter drivers in the port are short circuit protected by a thermal 
protection circuit. The circuit disables the drivers when the die temperature 
reaches 150 °C.  
RS-422 mode is typically used in point to point communication. Data and 
control signal pairs should be terminated in the receiver end with a resistor 
matching the cable impedance (typ. 100-120 Ω). The resistors could be placed 
in the connector housing. 
RS-485 mode is typically used in multi drop applications, where more than 2 
units are communicating. The data and control signal pairs should be 
terminated in each end of the communication line with a resistor matching the 
cable impedance (typical 100-120 Ω). Stubs to substations should be avoided.

3.10.26 Signal Description – PC/104 Connector (CN8, CN9) 
3.10.26.1 Address 
 
LA [23:17] The address signals LA [23:17] define the selection of a 128KB section of memory space 
within the 16MB address range of the 16-bit data bus. These signals are active high. The 
validity of the MEMCS16# depends on these signals only. These address lines are presented 
to the system with tri-state drivers. The permanent master drives these lines except when an 
alternate master cycle occurs; in this case, the temporary master drives these lines. The LA 
signals are not defined for I/O accesses. 
SA [19:0] System address. Address lines for the first one Megabyte of memory. SA [9:0] used for I/O 
addresses. SA0 is the least significant bit 
SBHE# This signal is an active low signal, that indicates that a byte is being transferred on the upper 
byte (SD [15:8)) of the 16 bit bus. All bus masters will drive this line with a tri-state driver. 
3.10.26.2 Data 
 
SD [15:8] These signals are defined for the high order byte of the 16-bit data bus. Memory or I/O 
transfers on this part of the bus are defined when SBHE# is active. 
SD [7:0] These signals are defined for the low order byte of the 16-bit data bus being the only bus for 8 
bit PC-AT/PC104 adapter boards. Memory or I/O transfers on this part of the data bus are 
defined for 8-bit operations with even or odd addresses and for 16-bit operations for odd 
addresses only. The signals SA0 and SBHE# are used to define the data present on this bus:
SBHE# SA0 SD15-SD8 SD7-SD0 Action 
0 0 ODD EVEN Word transfer 
0 1 ODD ODD Byte transfer on SD15-
SD8 
1 0 - EVEN Byte transfer on SD7-

3.10.26.3 Commands 
 
BALE This is an active high signal used to latch valid addresses from the current bus master on the 
falling edge of BALE. During DMA, refresh and alternate master cycles, BALE is forced high 
for the duration of the transfer. BALE is driven by the permanent master with a totem-pole 
driver. 
IOR# This is an active low signal driven by the current master to indicate an I/O read operation. I/O 
mapped devices using this strobe for selection should decode addresses SA [15:0] and AEN. 
Additionally, DMA devices will use IOR# in conjunction with DACK # to decode a DMA transfer 
n
from the I/O device. The current bus master will drive this line with a tri-state driver. 
IOW# This is an active low signal driven by the current master to indicate an I/O write operation. I/O 
mapped devices using this strobe for selection should decode addresses SA [15:0] and AEN. 
Additionally, DMA devices will use IOR# in conjunction with DACK # to decode a DMA transfer 
n
from the I/O device. The current bus master will drive this line with a tri-state driver. 
SMEMR# This is an active low signal driven by the permanent master to indicate a memory read 
operation in the first 1MB of system memory. Memory mapped devices using this strobe 
should decode addresses SA [19:0] only. If an alternate master drives MEMR#, the permanent 
master will drive SMEMR# delayed by internal logic. The permanent master ties this line to 
VCC through a pull-up resistor to ensure that it is inactive during the exchange of bus masters.
SMEMW# This is an active low signal driven by the permanent master to indicate a memory write 
operation in the first 1MB of system memory. Memory mapped devices using this strobe 
should decode addresses SA [19:0] only. If an alternate master drives MEMR#, the permanent 
master will drive SMEMR# delayed by internal logic. The permanent master ties this line to 
VCC through a pull-up resistor to ensure that it is inactive during the exchange of bus masters.
MEMR# This is an active low signal driven by the current master to indicate a memory read operation. 
Memory mapped devices using this strobe should decode addresses LA [23:17] and SA [19:0]. 
All bus masters will drive this line with a tri-state driver. The permanent master ties this line to 
VCC through a pull-up resistor to ensure that it is inactive during the exchange of bus masters.
MEMW# This is an active low signal driven by the current master to indicate a memory write operation. 
Memory mapped devices using this strobe should decode addresses LA [23:17] and SA [19:0]. 
All bus masters will drive this line with a tri-state driver. The permanent master ties this line to 
VCC through a pull-up resistor to ensure that it is inactive during the exchange of bus masters.

3.10.26.4 Transfer Response 
 
IOCS16# This is an active low signal driven by an I/O-mapped PC-AT/PC104 adapter indicating that the 
I/O device located at the address is a 16-bit device. This open collector signal is driven, based 
on SA [15:0] only (not IOR# and IOW#) when AEN is not asserted. 
MEMCS16# This is an active low signal driven by a memory mapped PC-AT/PC104 adapter indicating that 
the memory device located at the address is a 16-bit device. This open collector signal is 
driven, based on LA [23:17] only. 
0WS# This signal is an active low open-collector signal asserted by a 16-bit memory mapped device 
that may cause an early termination of the current transfer. It should be gated with MEMR# or 
MEMW# and is not valid during DMA transfers. IOCHRDY precedes 0WS#. 
IOCHRDY This is an active high signal driven inactive by the target of either a memory or an I/O 
operation to extend the current cycle. This open collector signal is driven based on the system 
address and the appropriate control strobe. IOCHRDY precedes 0WS#. 
IOCHCK# This is an active low signal driven active by a PC-AT/PC104 adapter detecting a fatal error 
during bus operation. When this open collector signal is driven low it will typically cause a non-
maskable interrupt. 
3.10.26.5 Controls 
 
SYSCLK This clock signal may vary in frequency from 2.5 MHz to 25.0 MHz depending on the setup 
made in the BIOS. Frequencies above 16 MHz are not recommended. The standard states 6 
MHz to 8.33 MHz, but most new adapters are able to handle higher frequencies. The PC-
AT/PC104 bus timing is based on this clock signal. 
OSC This is a clock signal with a 14.31818 MHz  ± 50 ppm frequency and a 50 ± 5% duty cycle. 
The signal is driven by the permanent master. 
RESETDRV This active high signal indicates that the adapter should be brought to an initial reset condition. 
This signal will be asserted by the permanent master on the bus for at least 100 ms at power-
up or watchdog time-out to ensure that adapters in the system are properly reset. When 
active, all adapters should turn off or tri-state all drivers connected to the bus. 
3.10.26.6 Interrupts 
 
IRQ [3:7], These signals are active high signals, which indicate the presence of an interrupting PC-
IRQ [9:12], AT/PC104 bus adapter. Due to the use of pull-ups, unused interrupt inputs must be masked. 
IRQ [14:15]

3.10.26.7 Bus Arbitration 
 
DRQ [0:3], These signals are active high signals driven by a DMA bus adapter to indicate a request for a 
DRQ [5:7] DMA bus operation. DRQ [0:3] request 8 bit DMA operations, while DRQ [5:7] request 16 bit 
operations. All bus DMA adapters will drive these lines with a tri-state driver. The permanent 
master monitors these signals to determine which of the DMA devices, if any, are requesting 
the bus. 
DACK [0:3]#, These signals are active low signals driven by the permanent master to indicate that a DMA 
DACK [5:7]# operation can begin. They are continuously driven by a totem pole driver for DMA channels 
attached. 
AEN This signal is an active high totem pole signal driven by the permanent master to indicate that 
the address lines are driven by the DMA controller. The assertion of AEN disables response to 
I/O port addresses when I/O command strobes are asserted. AEN being asserted, only the 
device with active DACK # should respond. 
n
REFRESH# This is an active low signal driven by the current master to indicate a memory refresh 
operation. The current master will drive this line with a tri-state driver. 
TC This active high signal is asserted during a read or write command indicating that the DMA 
controller has reached a terminal count for the current transfer. DACK # must be presented by 
n
the bus adapter to validate the TC signal. 
MASTER# This signal is not supported by the chipset.

EDGE Edge select / Hot Plug input. If the I2C bus is enabled (ISEL = HIGH), then this pin is used to 
monitor the “Hot Plug” detect signal (Please refer to the DVITM or VESA® P&DTM and DFP 
standards).  
Note: This Input is ONLY 3.3V tolerant and has no internal debouncer circuit. If I2C bus is 
disabled (ISEL = LOW), then this pin selects the clock edge that will latch the data. How the 
EDGE setting works depends on whether dual or single edge latching is selected: 
Dual Edge Mode (DSEL = HIGH) 
EDGE = LOW, the primary edge (first/even latch edge after DE is asserted) is the falling edge.
EDGE = HIGH, the primary edge (first/odd latch edge after DE is asserted) is the rising edge.
Note: In 24-bit single clock dual edge mode, EDGE is ignored. 
Single Edge Mode (DSEL = LOW) 
EDGE = LOW, the falling edge of the clock is used to latch data. 
EDGE = HIGH, the rising edge of the clock is used to latch data. 
DDCDAT Dual edge clock select / I2C Data. This pin is an open collector input. If I2C bus is enabled 
(ISEL = HIGH), then this pin is the I2C data line. If the I2C bus is disabled (ISEL = LOW), then 
this pin selects whether single clock dual edge is used. 
Dual edge clock select: 
When HIGH, IDCK+ latches input data on both falling and rising clock edges. 
When LOW, IDCK+/IDCK- latches input data on only falling or rising clock edges. 
In 24-/12-bit mode: 
If HIGH (dual edge), IDCK+ is used to latch data on both falling and rising edges. 
st nd
If LOW (single edge), IDCK+ latches 1 half data and IDCK- latches 2 half data. 
DDCCLK Input bus select / I2C clock. This pin is an open collector input. If I2C bus is enabled (ISEL = 
HIGH), then this pin is the I2C clock input. If the I2C is disabled (ISEL = LOW), then this pin 
selects the input bus width.

HIGH selects 24-bit input mode 
LOW selects 12-bit input mode

4. AWARD BIOS Setup 
4.1 Starting Setup 
The AwardBIOS™ 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: 
By pressing  immediately after switching the system on, or  
By pressing the  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

What they say about us
FANTASTIC RESOURCE
One of our top priorities is maintaining our business with precision, and we are constantly looking for affiliates that can help us achieve our goal.

HARD TO FIND A BETTER PROVIDER
Our company provides services to aid in the manufacture of technological products, such as semiconductors and flat panel displays, and often searching for distributors of obsolete product we require can waste time and money. Finding GID Industrial proved to be a great asset to our company, with cost effective solutions and superior knowledge on all of their materials, it’d be hard to find a better provider of obsolete or hard to find products.
Applied Materials
CONSISTENTLY DELIVERS QUALITY SOLUTIONS
Over the years, the equipment used in our company becomes discontinued, but they’re still of great use to us and our customers. Once these products are no longer available through the manufacturer, finding a reliable, quick supplier is a necessity, and luckily for us, GID Industrial has provided the most trustworthy, quality solutions to our obsolete component needs.

TERRIFIC RESOURCE
This company has been a terrific help to us (I work for Trican Well Service) in sourcing the Micron Ram Memory we needed for our Siemens computers. Great service! And great pricing! I know when the product is shipping and when it will arrive, all the way through the ordering process.

GO TO SOURCE
When I can't find an obsolete part, I first call GID and they'll come up with my parts every time. Great customer service and follow up as well. Scott emails me from time to time to touch base and see if we're having trouble finding something.....which is often with our 25 yr old equipment.
