The POS-460 uses a standard layout based on Western Digital's LPM/LPX format. It is 100% PC compatible, ready to adapt to any existing PC hardware and software. Special POS provisions, such as digital I/Os and four on-board serial ports, each with +5 V/+12 V power output capability, are available to accommodate a wide array of POS peripherals. The POS-460's industrial grade construction permits continuous operation in a harsh POS environment where reliability is crucial. Other on-board industrial features not typically found on other motherboards include a watchdog timer for dependability during unmanned operations, and CMOS backup. An on-board SSD, capable of adapting SRAM, Flash or EPROM, is perfect for POS data backup or emulating a floppy disk drive. The POS-460 can upgraded to any CPU from the 486SX to the 5x86 simply by rearranging jumpers. In addition to a 72-pin SIMM socket for up to 32 MB of DRAM, an optional 1 MB or 4 MB DRAM can be installed to the board to reduce the overall DRAM cost and increase system stability. 2 POS-460 User's Manual Specifications • CPU: 486SX/DX/DX2/DX4/5x86 CPU • 2nd Level Cache: Up to 512 KB cache memory • Watchdog Timer: Timer generates system reset at 1.6 sec interval.

Always disconnect the power cord from your chassis before you begin working on it. Do not make connections while the power is on because sensitive electronic components can be damaged by the sudden rush of power. Only experienced electronics personnel should open the PC chas- sis. Caution! Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before touching the CPU board. Modern electronic devices are very sensitive to static electric charges. Use a grounding wrist strap at all times. Place all electronic components on a static-dissipative surface or in a static-shielded bag when they are not in the chassis. Installing the CPU The POS-460 All-in-one CPU module supports most 486 CPUs. The system's performance depends upon the installed CPU. You can install or upgrade the CPU in the board's PGA socket by following the procedures outlined below. Removing a CPU 1. Disconnect power from the chassis, and unplug all connections to the CPU board. Consult your chassis' user's manual for instructions on removing the CPU board. 2. Unclip and lift the side lever of the CPU socket. Once the lever is up, the CPU should be easy to remove. Chapter 2 Installation 11 Installing a CPU Follow the installation instructions that came with your CPU. The general procedures for installing a CPU are as follows: 1. Unclip and lift the side lever of the CPU socket to an upright position. 2. Carefully align the CPU so that it is parallel to the socket. Make sure that the notch on the corner of the CPU matches the notch on the inside of the socket. 3. Gently insert the CPU into the socket. There will probably be a small gap between the CPU and the socket even when it is fully seated. Lower the side lever to lock the CPU in place. Make sure that the lever is clipped securely. When you install a new CPU, you may have to adjust other settings on the board, including CPU type, CPU clock, and PCI speed. Make sure that the settings are correct for your CPU. Improper settings may damage the CPU. 12 POS-460 User's Manual Setting Jumpers You 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 pins 1 and 2 or 2 and 3. 3 2 1 Open Closed Closed 2-3 The jumper settings are schematically depicted in this manual as follows: 1 2 3 Open Closed Closed 2-3 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 represen- tative before you make any changes. Generally, you simply need a standard cable to make most connections. Chapter 2 Installation 13 CPU type select (J22-J31) The following diagrams show the correct jumper settings for different CPUs.

Access time should be 70 nsec. or less. The SIMM can operate in conjunction with the optional 1 MB or 4 MB of on-board DRAM. Refer to the following page for details. Installing a SIMM NOTE: The module can only fit into a socket one way. The gold pins must be pointing down into the SIMM socket. The procedure for installing a SIMM is outlined below. 1. Ensure that all power supplies to the system are switched Off. 2. Locate the board's memory bank, shown in the figure on page 7. 3. Install the SIMM module. 4. Slip the SIMM into a socket at a 45 degree angle and carefully fit the bottom of the board against the connectors. 5. Gently push the SIMM into a perpendicular position until the clips on the ends of the SIMM sockets snap into place. 6. Check to ensure that each SIMM is correctly seated and all connector contacts touch. The SIMM should not move around in its socket. Chapter 2 Installation 17 Optional On-board DRAM With a volume order, the POS-460 can be affixed with 1 MB or 4 MB on-board DRAM. The on-board DRAM and the SIMM type DRAM can work together. Cache Installation and Jumpers Set- up (J17) The cache memory system consists of two parts, one is TAG SRAM, the other is DATA SRAM. The TAG SRAM used in this mainboard is 32Kx8 -15 ns and the DATA SRAM is 64Kx8 -15/20 ns or 128Kx8 -15/20 ns. The mainboard can be installed with 256 or 512 KB cache memory when using 64Kx8 or 128Kx8 type DATA SRAM respectively. Cache Memory Size Setting 256K 512K J17 open close Data SRAM 64K8 x 4 pc. 128K8 x 4 pc. TAG SRAM 32K8 32K8 Note: Make sure notch end on the chip matches notch end of the socket when installing. IDE Hard Drive Connector (CN15) The built-in Enhanced IDE (Integrated Device Electronics) control- ler supports up to two IDE devices, including CD-ROM drives, tape backup drives, a large hard disk drive and other IDE devices. It also supports faster data transfer rates and allows IDE hard disk drives with capacities in excess of 528 MB. 18 POS-460 User's Manual Connecting the hard drive Connecting drives is done in a daisy-chain fashion. Wire number 1 on the cable is red or blue, while the other wires are gray. 1. Connect one end of the cable to CN15. Make sure that the red (or blue) wire corresponds to pin 1 on the connector, which is labeled on the board (on the right side). 2. Plug the other end of the cable into the Enhanced IDE hard drive with pin 1 on the cable corresponding to pin 1 on the hard drive. (See your hard drive's documentation for the location of the connector.) Connect a second drive as described above. Unlike floppy drives, IDE hard drives can connect to either end of the cable. If you install two drives, you will need to set one as the master and one as the slave by using jumpers on the drives. If you install just one drive, set it as the master. Floppy Drive Connector (CN16) You can attach up to two floppy disks to the POS-460's on-board controller. You can use any combination of 5¼" (360 KB and 1.2 MB) and/or 3½" (720 KB, 1.44 MB, and 2.88 MB) drives. A 34-pin daisy-chain drive connector cable is required for a dual- drive system. On one end of the cable is a 34-pin flat-cable connec- tor. On the other end are two sets of floppy disk drive connectors. Each set consists of a 34-pin flat-cable connector (usually used for 3½" drives) and a printed-circuit board connector (usually used for 5¼" drives). Connecting the floppy drive 1. Plug the 34-pin flat-cable connector into CN16. Make sure that the red wire corresponds to pin one on the connector. Chapter 2 Installation 19 2. Attach the appropriate connector on the other end of the cable to the floppy drive(s). You can use only one connector in the set. The set on the end (after the twist in the cable) connects to the A: drive. The set in the middle connects to the B: drive. 3. If you are connecting a 5¼" floppy drive, line up the slot in the printed circuit board with the blocked-off part of the cable connector. If you are connecting a 3½" floppy drive, you may have trouble determining which pin is pin number one. Look for a number printed on the circuit board indicating pin number one. Also, the connector on the floppy drive connector may have a slot. When the slot is up, pin number one should be on the right. Check the documentation that came with the drive for more information. The B: drive can be attached to the connectors in the middle of the cable as described above. 20 POS-460 User's Manual Primary Parallel Port Connector (LPT1: CN6) The primary parallel printer port is located at the rear edge of the board with the DB-25 connector. The printer port is typically used to connect a printer via an adapter cable. LPT1's IRQ is defined as IRQ7. You can select the LPT1 SPP/EPP/ECP selection mode from BIOS (see Chapter 4). You can select the DMA channel by setting J8 and J9. DMA channel (J8, J9) DMA1(default) DMA3 J8 3 2 1 3 2 1 . J9 3 2 1 3 2 1 . Secondary Parallel Port (LPT2: CN10) The secondary parallel port is internally located next to the primary parallel port with a 26-pin box header. The IRQ setting is selectable. (See Secondary IRQ Selection, page 20.) Keyboard Connector (CN1, CN2, CN2A) The POS-460 provides 3-way parallel keyboard input via 2 external mini DIN jacks (CN1 and CN2) and one internal 5-pin keyboard jack (CN2A). The two external keyboard jacks are intended to accommo- date several chassis arrangements. Only one external keyboard port (CN1 or CN2) can be used at a given time - they cannot be used simultaneously. The interior keyboard jack (CN2A) is a 5 pin DIN for users to connect to the keyboard internally, for example, as an all-in-one POS system. Pin assignment is shown in this manual's appendix. Chapter 2 Installation 21 Front Panel Connectors You may want to install external switches to monitor and control the POS-460. These features are completely optional — install them only if necessary. Front panel connection jumpers J34 Power LED J35 Reset switch J36 HDD active LED J37 Turbo LED J38 Turbo switch J39 Speaker J40 Power LED and keyboard LED1 Ethernet LED Speaker The POS-460 can drive an 8 Ω speaker at 0.5 watts. Ensure that alternatives to this specification do not overload the board. LED interface The front panel LED indicator for hard disk access is an active low signal (24 mA sink rate). Reset switch If you install a reset switch, it should be an open single pole switch. Momentarily pressing the switch will activate a reset. The switch should be rated for 10 mA, 5 V. Power Connector (CN14) The power connection is a 12-pin connector requiring ±5 V and ±12 V power. Remember to keep the ground wires (black color) toward the middle when connecting the power wire from the power supply. 22 POS-460 User's Manual Serial Ports (COM1-4) The POS-460 has a total of four on-board RS-232 serial ports, COM1-4. They are differentiated by COM1 and COM2 as primary serial ports and COM3 (RS-232/422/485) and COM4 as secondary ports. All four serial ports have +5 V and +12 V power capabilities on both pin #1 and pin #9, depending on the fuse placement. Primary serial ports (COM1: CN5/CN9, COM2: CN4/CN8) Each primary serial port has two connections, one external DB-9 and one internal 10-pin header giving the user the flexibility to adapt the board to many different systems. IRQ for COM1 and COM2 is fixed with COM1 on IRQ4 and COM2 on IRQ3. COM1 and COM2 can be enabled or disabled via BIOS (see Chapter 4). Secondary serial ports (COM3: CN11, COM4: CN6) The secondary serial ports each have one 10-pin, internally positioned header connection. The IRQ for both COM3 and COM4 is selectable (see below).

We recommend using a 1 Amp fuse. To conserve board space, the fuse mounts are positioned next to each other. To ensure proper fuse placement, please observe the following example. Typical fuse placement for the POS-460: ALWAYS do this... NEVER do this !!! Fuse on F16 Fuse on F17 F17 F16 F17 F16 F17 F16 F17 F16 Fuse on F17 Fuse on F16 Fuse installation chart for +5 V or +12 V power in COM ports Port Pin +5 V +12 V COM1 Pin 1 F8 F9 Pin 9 F6 F7 COM2 Pin 1 F5 F4 Pin 9 F3 F2 COM3 Pin 1 F17 F16 Pin 9 F14 F15 COM4 Pin 1 F13 F11 Pin 9 F10 F12 Note: Only install the fuse if your peripheral requires it. Unnecessary power in the serial port will damage peripherals that do not require it. Chapter 2 Installation 25 VGA Interface Connections The POS-460's SVGA interface can drive conventional CRT displays and is capable of driving a wide range of flat panel displays, including electroluminescent (EL), gas plasma, passive LCD and active LCD displays. The board has two connectors to support these displays, one for standard CRT VGA monitors and one for flat panel displays. On-board VGA hardware enable/disable Enable Disable J3 3 2 1 3 2 1 . CRT display connector (CN7 and CN18) CN7 is a standard 15-pin D-SUB connector commonly used for the CRT VGA monitor. CN18 is a 10 pin header connector allowing user to extend VGA connector elesewhere via customized cable. Pin assignment appears in the appendix. Flat panel display connector (CN13) CN13 consists of a 44-pin, dual-in-line header. Power supplies (+12 V, -12 V) present on CN13 depend upon the supply connected to the board. (For more information on the proper connection between CN13 and LCD, refer to chapter 3). Configuration of the VGA interface is done completely via the software utility. You don't have to set any jumpers. (Refer to Chapter 3 for software setup details.) Digital I/O (CN17: 2 outputs, 4 inputs) The POS-460 uses digital I/O to customize its configuration to your control needs. For example, you may configure the digital I/O to 26 POS-460 User's Manual control the opening and closing of the cash drawer or to sense the warning signal from a tripped UPS. The following is a detailed description of how the digital I/O is controlled via software programming: IN-3 IN-1 IN-0 GND IN-2 97 5 3 1 CN17 10 8 6 4 2 +12V GND Vcc(+5V) OUT-1 OUT-0 Digital I/O programming (lattice installed PLSI 1016) Digital output is Open Collector type, meant to drive relays or solenoids (50 V , 500 mA max.). DC Output Address Bit OUT-1 220 0 OUT-2 220 1 EXAMPLE: DATA 00 = OUT-0 & -1 = "0" DARLINTON OUT-0 & -1 TURN OFF DATA 01 = OUT-0 = "1" DARLINTON OUT-0 TURN ON DATA 02 = OUT-1 = "1" DARLINTON OUT-1 TURN ON DATA 03 = OUT-0 & -1 = "1" DARLINTON OUT-0 & -1 TURN ON Input Address Bit IN-0 220 0 IN-1 220 1 IN-2 220 2 IN-3 220 3 Chapter 2 Installation 27 EXAMPLE: If INPUT 220 is [0111], then INPUT 3 is "0" If INPUT 220 is [0011], then INPUT 3 & 4 are "0" Note: The INPUT signal must be TTL compatible. Ethernet Configuration The POS-460 is equipped with a high performance 16-bit Ethernet interface which is fully compliant with IEEE 802.3 10Mbps CSMA/ CD standards. It is supported by all major network operating systems and is 100% Novell NE-2000 compatible. Configuration of the Ethernet is very easy and can be done via the DIAG9008.EXE program included on the utility disk. This program enables you to view the current Ethernet configuration, to reconfig- ure the Ethernet interface (IRQ, I/O address, etc.), and to execute useful diagnostic functions. (See Chapter 3 for detailed informa- tion) The DIAG9008.EXE program provides ways to configure the Ethernet interface without using jumpers. The following IRQ and I/ O address settings are available. POS-460 Ethernet settings IRQ option I/O address range Jumperless 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 300H, 240H, 280H, Configuration 11, 12 2C0H, 320H, 340H, 360H Default Settings: IRQ = 5 ; I/O Address = 300H Note: 1. You can select an IRQ from the options shown above, but make sure your selection does not conflict with other I/O devices. 10BASE-T connector (CN3) 10BASE-T connects to the POS-460 via an adapter cable to the RJ- 45 standard jack (CN3) located at the rear of the board. 28 POS-460 User's Manual Network boot The Network Boot feature is built into the BIOS. It can be enabled/ disabled in the chipset setup of the CMOS configuration. Please refer to the BIOS setting in Chapter 4 for more information. Watchdog Timer Configuration An on-board watchdog timer reduces the chance of disruptions which EMP (electro-magnetic pulse) interference can cause. This is an invaluable protective device for standalone or unmanned applications. Setup involves writing and running the control software (refer to Appendix A). Watchdog timer enable/disable You can enable the watchdog timer by using your program to write to the SSD's base address + 400h. (i.e. If the SSD address is 2D0h, then read/write to address 6D0h.) Writing to the address enables the watchdog, and reading from the address refreshes the watch- dog. For information on programming the watchdog timer see Appendix A. Solid State Disk Configuration The POS-460 features an internal Flash/ROM disk drive and DiskOnChip 2000. This drive emulates a floppy disk drive by using solid-state memory chips (Flash or EPROM) to store programs and data instead of the magnetic particles on the mechanical drive’s disk. The Flash/ROM disk and DOC 2000 offer much faster access times than a floppy or hard disk and greatly increased reliability in harsh environments. The Flash/ROM disk/DOC 2000 works by modifying the BIOS INT-13 disk I/O routine on boot-up. The routine then translates read and write commands to the disk so that they will correctly Chapter 2 Installation 29 access the memory chips. You don’t need any special drivers. You simply set the drive to act as a DOS drive (e.g. A: or C:) and use standard DOS commands (COPY, DIR,etc) to manipulate your data. Before you use the Flash/ROM disk, you will need to enable it with SW1 and the BIOS Chipset Features Setup Program as detailed in Chapter 4. Memory devices The Flash/ROM disk supports the following memory devices, DiskOnChip 2000 series, or their equivalents: • 27C010 128 Kb x 8 EPROM • 27C040 512 Kb x 8 EPROM • 28F010 128 Kb x 8 +12 V Flash Memory (AMD/INTEL) • 29C010 128 Kb x 8 +5 V Flash Memory (ATMEL only) • 29C040 512 Kb x 8 +5 V Flash Memory (ATMEL only) • 29C040A 512 Kb x 8 +5 V Flash Memory (ATMEL only) • MD-2200-DXX (DOC 2000 series) If you use EPROM, files on the disk are read only. You will need an external programmer to load your program and data files on the EPROMs. If you use +5 V Flash memories (29C010) for the solid state disk, you can read or write data just like a floppy disk; you need not use an external programmer. If you use +12 V Flash memories (28F010) you will still need an external programmer to write data. Before you activate the Flash/ROM drive (using the BIOS Chipset Features Setup program), you will need to set the drive's I/O and memory addresses to avoid conflicts with other plug-in cards. You will also need to set the DOS drive designation to be used by the Flash/ROM drive. 30 POS-460 User's Manual Note: If you use the DiskOnChip 2000 series, you must put it in the SSD1 socket only. Drive capacity The size of the emulated drive depends on the size and number of the chips you install. For example, if you install three 512 KB chips, you will have 3 x 512 KB = 1.536 MB, equivalent to a 1.44 MB floppy. The following table shows the memory chips you will need to emulate 360 KB, 720 KB, 1.2 MB and 1.44 MB floppy drives. You will need to set jumpers JP18, JP20, J43, JP21 and J48 to match the type (Flash, SRAM, ROM, or DOC 2000) and size (128 KB, 512 KB, or 2~12 MB for DOC 2000) of the devices you use. All the devices must be the same type and size. The following tables shows the size and number of devices you will need for each size emulated disk. It also shows the corresponding settings of jumpers JP18, JP20, J43, J21 and J48. J20 J18 J21 J43 J48 SRAM 128K - Short Open 2-3 Open SRAM 512K - Open Open 2-3 Open FLASH 128K 2-3 Short Short 1-2 Open FLASH 512K 2-3 Open Short 1-2 Open EPROM 128K 1-2 Short Short 1-2 Open EPROM 512K 1-2 Open Short 1-2 Open DiskOnChip 2-3 Open Short 1-2 Close Chapter 2 Installation 31 Drive configuration Before you activate the Flash/ROM drive (using the BIOS Chipset Features Setup program), you will need to set the drive’s I/O and memory addresses to avoid conflicts with other plug-in cards. You will also need to set the DOS drive designation to be used by the Flash/ROM drive. DIP switch SW1 controls each of these settings, as described in the following sections: I/O address selection (SW1) Positions 1 and 2 on DIP switch SW1 control the disk’s I/O address. Position 1 Position 2 I/O Address (hex) Off Off 2D0 Off On 290 On Off 250 On On 210 Memory address selection (SW1) The SSD occupies a window in the memory address range of D000: 0000-1FFF. Positions 3 and 4 on SW1 enable/disable the Flash/ ROM disk’s memory address. If you select “Disabled”, the disk will not function. Position 3 Position 4 SSD Function Off Off Disabled Off On Enabled On Off Enabled On On Enabled Drive emulated (SW1) Positions 5 and 6 of SW1 control the DOS drive emulated by the Flash/ROM disk: 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th. 32 POS-460 User's Manual Position 5 Position 6 Drive Off Off 4th Off On 3rd On Off 2nd On On 1st The actual drive letter assigned by DOS to the Flash/ROM disk depends on the floppy or hard disks installed in the system. If you are using a DOS version prior to DOS 5.0, the drive designation may also differ. DOS 5.0 (and later) Floppy disks The Flash/ROM disk will replace the corresponding floppy disk. For example, if you have a single floppy disk (drive A) and assign the Flash/ROM disk to be the first drive (both switches 5 and 6 are on), any drive operations directed at drive A will go to the Flash/ ROM disk. This floppy drive will then be assigned the next free drive designation. The example below illustrates this. Hard disks The Flash/ROM disk will not replace corresponding hard disks. Instead, DOS will assign the Flash/ROM disk to the next free drive designation. For example, if you have a single hard disk (drive C) and assign the Flash/ROM disk to be the 3rd drive (switch 5 off, switch 6 on), the Flash/ROM drive will become drive D. If you have two hard disks, the Flash/ROM drive will become drive E. Example 1 Installing the Flash/ROM disk as drive A (switches 5 and 6 are on). Drive A B C D Before FDD FDD HDD After Flash/ROM FDD HDD FDD Example 2 You (try to) install the Flash/ROM disk as drive C. Drive A B C D Before FDD FDD HDD After FDD FDD HDD Flash/ROM Chapter 2 Installation 33 Booting from the Flash/ROM disk If you wish to have the system boot from the Flash/ROM disk, simply set positions 5 and 6 on SW1 for the first FDD. Copy your application files to the disk along with the standard system files required to boot (command.com, io.sys, autoexec.bat, etc). The next time you start the system, it will boot from the solid state disk. Inserting memory devices After you have set all the jumpers and switches on the POS-460, insert the appropriate memory devices into the card’s sockets. Remember that you will need to program EPROMs before you insert them. NOTE: The first SSD you install must be inserted into DIP socket SSD1 (as shown in the diagram on page 8), leaving SSD2 and SSD3 empty. Like- wise, the second SSD must go into SSD2, leaving SSD3 empty. 1. Make sure that the pins of the memory chips are perpendicular to the case and both rows are parallel to each other. Many times the chips come with the pins spread out slightly. Place the chip on a table top and carefully bend each line of pins together until they point directly down. 2. Insert each chip. Align the chips so their pins are perpendicular to the connector and the semicircular notch on the end of the chip matches the notch on the end of the socket. There will probably be a gap between the chip body and the socket when it is fully seated – Do not push too hard! Formatting the Solid State disk 34 POS-460 User's Manual If you use Flash memory or SRAM, it is advisable to format the Flash/SRAM disk before copying files to it. The DOS command is as follows: FORMAT drv: /U ... where drv = solid state disk drive A, B, C etc. File copy utility The utility program COOKROM.EXE, included on the card’s utility disk, splits the files on a diskette into a series of binary files. You can then use an external programmer to copy the files to EPROM or +12 V Flash memory chips. It produces up to three files, depending on the size of the source files. Using a memory manager (EMM386.EXE) If you are using an extended or expanded memory manager (such as EMM386 or QEMM386), you will need to configure it to avoid the addresses used by the Flash/ROM disk (set by positions 3 and 4 of SW1). Otherwise, the memory manager will attempt to use these addresses, causing unreliable operation. For example, the line in your CONFIG.SYS file that invokes EMM386, the DOS memory manager, might be the following: DEVICE=EMM386.SYS X=D600-D7FF This excludes an 8 KB range for the card from D6000 to D7FFF (the default addresses). If you are using expanded memory, you will need to make sure that the memory manager is not putting the page frame in the disk’s addresses. For example, DEVICE=EMM386.EXE X=D600-D7FF FRAME = D800 You should also make sure that the disk’s memory address is not shadowed in the BIOS. Chapter 2 Installation 35 36 POS-460 User's Manual 3 VGA Display & Ether- net Software Config- uration This chapter details the software configu- ration information. It shows you how to configure the board to match your application requirements. AWARD System BIOS is covered in Chapter 4. Sections include: • LCD display configuration • Connections for two standard LCDs • Ethernet interface configuration Chapter 3 Software Configuration 37 CHAPTER Introduction The POS-460 system BIOS and custom drivers are located in a 128 Kbyte, 32-pin (JEDEC spec.) Flash ROM device, designated U33. A single Flash chip holds the system BIOS, VGA BIOS, and network Boot ROM image. The display can be configured via software. This method minimizes the number of chips and eases configuration. You can change the display BIOS simply by repro- gramming the Flash chip. POS-460 Utility Disk The POS-460 is supplied with a software utility disk that holds the necessary file for setting up the VGA display and Ethernet control- ler. The disk's directory and file structure is as follows: ROOT README.DOC NET DIAG9008.EXE SSD COOKROM.EXE BIOS 460_SYS.BIN AWDFLASH.EXE DIAG9008.EXE This program is the UMC9008 Ethernet controller AUTO-Scan/ Setup/Diagnostic function. COOKROM.EXE A program that converts application files into binary files (files with a .BIN extension). These are then written into the SSD Flash ROM devices. 460_SYS.BIN This binary file contains the system BIOS. 38 POS-460 User's Manual AWDFLASH.EXE This program allows you to write the Factory-Bundled System BIOS/ VGA BIOS files to the BIOS Flash ROM. The VGA files are already formatted for the POS-460 with .BIN extensions. See README.DOC. These files support various CRT and flat panel displays. They are custom written and are available upon request. VGA BIOS Software Configuration The POS-460’s on-board VGA BIOS is bundled at the factory with the System BIOS and are together written into the BIOS Flash ROM via the AWDFLASH.EXE utility software. The VGA BIOS sup- ports a wide range of popular LCD, EL, gas plasma flat panel displays and traditional analog CRT monitors. The VGA BIOS can drive CRT displays with resolutions up to 1024 x 768 in 256 colors. It is also capable of driving color panel displays with resolutions of 640 x 480 in 64K colors. If the VGA BIOS needs to be re-configured for a special LCD, the system BIOS and the VGA BIOS need to be re-configured together via the AWDFLASH.EXE utility. Most LCD panels can be lit with the POS-460's standard VGA BIOS when the LCD interface is connected. (See appendix for CN13 pin assign- ment). In case the customer's LCD panel cannot work correctly with standard VGA BIOS and we have the modified BIOS to support their particular LCD, we can provide the file to the customer free of charge. The customer can then use AWDFLASH.exe utility program to update the VGA BIOS. If we do not have the modified BIOS and the customer needs us to modify the BIOS for them, we need the specific LCD to adjust BIOS parameters and to verify the BIOS. The customer must ship their LCD to us, and a service charge will apply for this custom modification. Use AWDFLASH.exe to configure the VGA display as follows: 1. Apply power to the POS-460 with a color TFT display attached. This is the default setting for the POS-460. Ensure that the AWDFLASH.EXE and *.BIN files are located in the working drive. NOTE: Ensure that you do not run AWDFLASH.EXE while your system is operating in EMM386 mode. Chapter 3 Software Configuration 39 2. At the prompt, type AWDFLASH.EXE and press . The VGA configuration program will then display the following: VGA Setup screen 3. At the prompt, type in the BIN file which supports your display. When you are sure that you have entered the file name correct- ly press . The screen will ask “Do you want to save?” If you wish to continue press Y. If you change your mind or have made a mistake press N to abort and end the setup procedure. 4. If you decide to continue, the program will create a BIOS.OLD file which contains the existing BIOS configuration. The prompt will then ask “Are you sure you want to save new configura- tion?” Press Y if you want the new file to be written into the BIOS. Press N to exit the program. The new VGA configuration will then write to the ROM BIOS chip. This configuration will remain the same until you run the AWDFLASH.EXE program and change the settings.

Chapter 5 SVGA Setup 69 70 POS-460 User's Manual A Programming the Watchdog Timer The POS-460 is equipped with a watch- dog timer that resets the CPU if process- ing comes to a standstill for whatever reason. This feature ensures system reliability in industrial standalone, or unmanned, environments. Appendix A Programming the Watchdog Timer 71 APPENDIX To enable the watchdog timer, you must write a program which first writes to the SSD's address + 400(hex) and then reads from that address at regular intervals. The first time your program writes to the port, it enables the watchdog timer. After that, your program must read the port during a time interval of less than 1.6 seconds, otherwise the watchdog timer will activate and reset the CPU. If CPU processing comes to a standstill because of EMI or a software bug, the program will signal to SSD address + 400(hex) and the timer will be interrupted. The timer will then automatically reset the CPU and data processing will continue normally. You must write your program so that it reads the SSD's address + 400(hex) at an interval shorter than the timer's preset interval. The timer's intervals have a tolerance of ±30%, so you should program an instruction that will refresh the timer about every second. The following program shows how you might program the watch- dog timer in BASIC. If the SSD's base address is 2D0 (hex), then the watchdog timer's address is 6D0 (hex): 10 REM Watchdog timer example program 20 X=IN (&H6D0) REM Enable the watchdog 30 GOSUB 1000 REM Task #1, takes 1.6 seconds to complete 40 X=OUT (&H6D0) REM Disable the watchdog 50 GOSUB 2000 REM Task #2, takes 1.6 second to complete 60 END 1000 REM Subroutine #1, takes 1.6 second to complete . . . 1070 RETURN 2000 REM Subroutine #2, takes 1.6 second to complete . . . 2090 RETURN 72 POS-460 User's Manual B Pin Assignments This appendix contains information of a detailed or specialized nature.

Frequently asked questions

Industrial Trading' parent company, GID Industrial, specializes in procuring industrial parts. We know where to find the rare and obsolete equipment that our customers need in order to get back to business. There are other companies who claim to do what we do, but we're confident that our commitment to quality and value is unparalleled in our field.

The warranty we offer will be based on what we negotiate with our suppliers. Sometimes, a part will be sold as-is and without a warranty. Our specialty, single board computers, tend to receive a one-year warranty.

We use FedEx, UPS, DHL, and USPS. We have accounts with each of them and generally ship using one of those, but we can also ship using your account if you would prefer. However, we can use other carriers if it will be more convenient for you.

Industrial Trading will definitely serve you. We work with international clients all the time, and we are familiar with shipping to destinations all across the globe.

Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express are all accepted by Industrial Trading. We will also accept payment made with wire transfer or PayPal. Checks will only be accepted from customers in the USA. Terms may available for larger orders, upon approval.

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.
