Static electricity is a constant danger to computer systems. The charge that can build up in your body may be more than sufficient to damage integrated circuits on any PC board. It is, therefore, important to observe basic precautions whenever you use or handle computer components. Although areas with humid climates are much less prone to static build-up, it is always best to safeguard against accidents that may result in expensive repairs. The following measures should be sufficient to protect your equipment from static discharge: � Touch a grounded metal object to discharge the static electricity in your body (or ideally, wear a grounded wrist strap). � When unpacking and handling the board or other system components, place all materials on an anti-static surface. � Be careful not to touch the components on the board, especially the “golden finger” connectors on the bottom of the board. 4 AR-B1652 User’s Guide 1.

WATCHDOG TIMER This section describes the use of Watchdog Timer, including disable, enable, and trigger. AR-B1652 is equipped with a programmable time-out period watchdog timer that occupies I/O port 443H. Users can use simple program to enable the watchdog timer. Once you enable the watchdog timer, the program should trigger it every time before it times out. Watchdog Timer will generate a response (system or IRQ) due to system fails to trigger or disable watchdog timer before preset timer, times out. Time Base Enable(D7) Time Factor (D0-D5) Watchdog Register Counter and Write and Compartor Trigger RESET Watchdog Block Diagram 3.1 WATCHDOG TIMER SETTING The watchdog timer is a circuit that maybe be used from your program software to detect crash or hang up. The Watchdog timer is automatically disabled after reset. Once you enabled the watchdog timer, your program should trigger the watchdog timer every time before it times out. After you trigger the watchdog timer, the timer will be set to zero and start to count again. If your program fails to trigger the watchdog timer before times out, it will generate a reset pulse to reset the system or trigger the IRQ 9 signal in order to tell your system that the watchdog time is out. Please refer to the following table in order to properly program Watchdog function D7 D6 D5 D4 D3 D2 D1 D0 1 Enable Reset Time period 0 Disable IRQ 9 Users could test watchdog function under ‘Debug’ program as follows: C:>debug � O 443 C8H Generally, watchdog function would reset system after 8 seconds � O 443 0H Disable watchdog function C:>debug � O 443 88H Generally, watchdog function would generate IRQ 9 after 8 seconds � O 443 0H Disable watchdog function 3.2 WATCHDOG TIMER TRIGGER After you enable the watchdog timer, your program must write the same factor as triggering to the watchdog timer at least once during every time-out period. You can change the time-out period by writing another timer factor to the watchdog register at any time, and you must trigger the watchdog during every new time-out period in next trigger. 17 AR-B1652 User’s Guide 4. BIOS CONSOLE This chapter describes the AR-B1652 BIOS menu displays and explains how to perform common tasks needed to get up and running, and presents detailed explanations of the elements found in each of the BIOS menus. The following topics are covered: � BIOS Setup Overview � Advanced CMOS Setup � Peripheral Setup � Boot � BIOS Exit 4.1 BIOS SETUP OVERVIEW The BIOS is a program used to initialize and set up the I/O system of the computer, which includes the ISA bus and connected devices such as the video display, diskette drive, and the keyboard. The BIOS provides a menu-based interface to the console subsystem. The console subsystem contains special software, called firmware that interacts directly with the hardware components and facilitates interaction between the system hardware and the operating system. The BIOS default values ensure that the system will function at its normal capability. In the worst situation the user may have corrupted the original settings set by the manufacturer. After the computer is turned on, the BIOS will perform diagnostics on the system and display the size of the memory that is being tested. Press the [Del] key to enter the BIOS Setup program, and then the main menu will show on the screen. The BIOS Setup main menu includes some options. Use the [Up/Down] arrow key to highlight the option that you wish to modify, and then press the [Enter] key to select the option and configure the functions. Setup Main Menu The

option allows you to record some basic system hardware configuration and set the system clock and error handling. If the CPU board is already installed in a working system, you will not need to select this option anymore. 18 AR-B1652 User’s Guide Date & Time Setup Highlight the field and then press the [Page Up] /[Page Down] or [+]/[-] keys to set the current date.

HARD TO FIND A BETTER PROVIDER

star star star star star

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.

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.

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.
