PBA 807 / AA 807 - Triton A2 Chipset

Triton Chipset Changes And Associated Components - Class II

Implementation: June 1995  In current production

Triton Chipset Stepping Change

A new stepping of the Triton chipset is being introduced into the current design of the Advanced ZP  Platform.  Recently, the Triton chipset transferred to an Intel internal process, referred to as "process 650" or "P650", to improve material availability.  The devices affected this change were the TSC at location U5E1,  and the PIIX at location U2C1. The TSC changes from stepping A1 to A2 and includes a fix to facilitate compatibility with Matrox video cards.  The PIIX changes from stepping A1P to A1 only address the previous signal quality issue removing the requirements for the external resistors on the #DACK0 and TC lines.

Removing Additional PIIX Pull-ups

As mentioned above, the new stepping of the PIIX removes the requirements for external pull-ups on the #DACK0 and TC lines.  The resistors being removed are at locations R1G8 and R6H17.

PBA 808 / AA 808 - ICW Clock & Triton A1 TSC

Changes to TSC, PC82306, Clock Generator - Class I

System Clock Synthesizer Change

PLANNED IMPLEMENTATION DATE:   July 1995

A change in the manufacturer of the system frequency clock synthesizer is being made to improve the EMI profile of the Advanced ZP platform.  The W48C60-402 clock generator from IC Works will replace the ICS clock generator at location U1C1.  The W48C60-402 provides a slower rise and fall time reducing the amount of ringing that is experienced with the ICS clock generator and does not violate PCI AC Timing specifications.

National PC87306VUL Stepping Change

PLANNED IMPLEMENTATION DATE:   July 1995

The National PC87306VUL revision A0 part on the Advanced ZP motherboard is stepping to  revision B.   The B-stepping part corrects certain errata discovered in the A0-stepping.  Errata existing in the A0 part being corrected with the B-stepping is as follows:

1)  When working with Standard parallel Port (SPP) with:

•	EPP 1.9 enable and,

•	/ZWS option disabled

Wrong data might be forced on PD0 - 7 during an SPP write cycle.  This problem has been fixed in the PC87306VUL RevB.

2)  The PC87306VUL RevA supports one DMA channel for ECP.  Pins 138 and 70 are reserved as

well as bits 1, 2, and 3 of SCF1.  The PC'95 Hardware Design Guide requires at least 2 DMA      options for ECP.  The PC87306VUL RevB provides a second DMA channel for ECP.  Pin 138 is     now assigned to signal /PDAKC1, and pin 70 has been assigned to signal PDRQ.  Bit 3 of the     SCF1 selects between the two DMA channels.

3)   IRQ3 and 4 are allocated according to COM selection.  They cannot be assigned independently of

the address selection.  This is the "legacy" mode standardized by industry and in all NSC SIOs.  The PC'95 Hardware Design Guide, however, redefines the UART mode of operation so each UART has 2 IRQ options regardless of the selected address.  The PC87306VUL RevB device supports both the "legacy" mode of operation and also independent IRQ3 and 4 options for each UART via bits 2 and 6 of PNP1.

4)   IRQ5 and 7 are allocated according to LPT selection.  They can not be assigned independent of

 the address selection ("legacy" mode).  The PC'95 Hardware Design Guide, however, defines the Parallel Port as having two IRQ options independent of the selected address.  The PC87306VUL RevB supports both the "legacy" mode of operation as well as providing independent IRQ5 and 7 options for the Parallel Port via bits 4 and 5 of PNP0.

5)   The PC87306VUL RevA does not support the two lockable bits on SCF1 bits 6 and 7 and the lck bit 3 of FCR.  The PC87306VUL RevB supports this feature.

6)   The PC87306VUL RevA provides chip select for 10-bit and 16-bit address decode.  Bit 3 of CS1CF is reserved.  The PC87306VUL RevB provides another option to support the upper-14 bit address decode via bit 3 of CS1CF.

7)   The EPP mode supports 2 base addresses, 278h and 378h. The PC'95 Hardware Design Guide requires at least three addresses.  The PC87306VUL RevB provides a programmable third option via bit 6 of PNP0 and the LPTBA register.

Triton TSC Stepping Change

PLANNED IMPLEMENTATION DATE:   July 1995

Because of material availability issues with the A2 stepping of the Triton TSC, the Advanced ZP Platform will be moving back to the A1 stepping of the TSC.  This product chipset is identical to the AA#  xxxxxx-806 revision level previously received and should not cause any compatibility issues.  As soon as supply of the A2 stepping TSC becomes more readily available, the Advanced ZP Platform will move to this device.  Current projections on availability of the A2 step TSC is early September.

This change is due to availability.   No functional differences existed between that  new stepping and the previous stepping.

The Altered Assembly (AA#) and PBA# numbers of the motherboard will change per the following table

o	Fixed problem revolving around Bios Data Area offset 6Ch (dword - 32 bit value) aka Timer Count value.  Symptom of problem fixed:  "incorrect updating of Timer Count value in Bios Data Area occurs during Sleep/Power-Down when running Windows 95".  Fixed by utilizing Real Time Clock AND IRQ 0 (was previously only IRQ 0) as conditions for updating Timer Count value in Bios Data Area.

o	Added enhancement to APM code to allow audio feedback (beeping) which indicates APM code detection of:

a)	Sleep/Resume/Soft Power Off button press (single beep),

b)	Soft Power Off via 2 second hold of Sleep/Resume/Soft Power Off button (two decending beeps).

Latest ECO Notification

Dear Advanced/ZP Customer,	July 27, 1995

Our policy is to notify customers of all planned changes and enhancements to Intel products as far in advance as possible (usually up to 60 days). The following is a list of changes forecasted for the Intel Advanced/ZP. Many of these changes are in process and the dates are approximate and subject to change.

Related Topics:

TSC, PC82306, Clock Generator - Class I

System Clock Synthesizer Change

National PC87306VUL Stepping Change

Triton TSC Stepping Change


System Clock Synthesizer Change

PLANNED IMPLEMENTATION DATE:   July 1995

A change in the manufacturer of the system frequency clock synthesizer is being made to improve the EMI profile of the Advanced ZP platform.  The W48C60-402 clock generator from IC Works will replace the ICS clock generator at location U1C1.  The W48C60-402 provides a slower rise and fall time reducing the amount of ringing that is experienced with the ICS clock generator and does not violate PCI AC Timing specifications.


National PC87306VUL Stepping Change

PLANNED IMPLEMENTATION DATE:   July 1995

The National PC87306VUL revision A0 part on the Advanced ZP motherboard is stepping to  revision B.   The B-stepping part corrects certain errata discovered in the A0-stepping.  Errata existing in the A0 part being corrected with the B-stepping is as follows:

1)  When working with Standard parallel Port (SPP) with:

•	EPP 1.9 enable and,

•	/ZWS option disabled

Wrong data might be forced on PD0 - 7 during an SPP write cycle.  This problem has been fixed in the PC87306VUL RevB.

2)  The PC87306VUL RevA supports one DMA channel for ECP.  Pins 138 and 70 are reserved as

well as bits 1, 2, and 3 of SCF1.  The PC'95 Hardware Design Guide requires at least 2 DMA      options for ECP.  The PC87306VUL RevB provides a second DMA channel for ECP.  Pin 138 is     now assigned to signal /PDAKC1, and pin 70 has been assigned to signal PDRQ.  Bit 3 of the     SCF1 selects between the two DMA channels.

3)   IRQ3 and 4 are allocated according to COM selection.  They cannot be assigned independently of

the address selection.  This is the "legacy" mode standardized by industry and in all NSC SIOs.  The PC'95 Hardware Design Guide, however, redefines the UART mode of operation so each UART has 2 IRQ options regardless of the selected address.  The PC87306VUL RevB device supports both the "legacy" mode of operation and also independent IRQ3 and 4 options for each UART via bits 2 and 6 of PNP1.

4)   IRQ5 and 7 are allocated according to LPT selection.  They can not be assigned independent of

 the address selection ("legacy" mode).  The PC'95 Hardware Design Guide, however, defines the Parallel Port as having two IRQ options independent of the selected address.  The PC87306VUL RevB supports both the "legacy" mode of operation as well as providing independent IRQ5 and 7 options for the Parallel Port via bits 4 and 5 of PNP0.

5)   The PC87306VUL RevA does not support the two lockable bits on SCF1 bits 6 and 7 and the lck bit 3 of FCR.  The PC87306VUL RevB supports this feature.

6)   The PC87306VUL RevA provides chip select for 10-bit and 16-bit address decode.  Bit 3 of CS1CF is reserved.  The PC87306VUL RevB provides another option to support the upper-14 bit address decode via bit 3 of CS1CF.

7)   The EPP mode supports 2 base addresses, 278h and 378h. The PC'95 Hardware Design Guide requires at least three addresses.  The PC87306VUL RevB provides a programmable third option via bit 6 of PNP0 and the LPTBA register.


Triton TSC Stepping Change

PLANNED IMPLEMENTATION DATE:   July 1995

Because of material availability issues with the A2 stepping of the Triton TSC, the Advanced ZP Platform will be moving back to the A1 stepping of the TSC.  This product chipset is identical to the AA#  xxxxxx-806 revision level previously received and should not cause any compatibility issues.  As soon as supply of the A2 stepping TSC becomes more readily available, the Advanced ZP Platform will move to this device.  Current projections on availability of the A2 step TSC is early September.

The Altered Assembly (AA#) and PBA# numbers of the motherboard will change per the following table

Product Code	ECO #	Old AA#	New AA#	Old PBA#	New PBA#
BP75AT0LCS	EO2210	633547-807	633547-808	632635-807	632635-808

BE100AT0LCS	EO2210	639282.807	639282-808	638995-807	638995-808
This change is due to availability.   No functional differences existed between that  new stepping and the previous stepping.


BIOS and Hardware Support for PC87306 Win 95 Compliance - Class II

Additional Resistors for Win 95 Compliance

New BIOS Revision 1.00.03.BS0


Additional Resistors for Win 95 Compliance

PLANNED IMPLEMENTATION DATE:   August 1995

Two new stuffing option resistors are being added to the Advanced ZP motherboard.  These stuffing options enable an additional DMA channel within the National Ultra I/O controller, the 82306 rev B.  This additional DMA channel is a requirement for Windows 95 certification.

It should be noted that prior to July, all Advanced ZP motherboards were built with the A-step of the 82306 which does not support the additional DMA channel.  These boards have been waived by MicroSoft and are thereby Win 95 certifiable.

The two new resistors can be found at reference designator locations R2H4 and R2H5.


New BIOS Revision 1.00.03.BS0

PLANNED IMPLEMENTATION DATE:   September 1995

The BIOS revision 1.00.02.BS0 currently shipping with the Advanced ZP motherboard is being upgraded with version 1.00.03.BS0.  The new version of BIOS corrects certain errata discovered during Win 95 compatibility testing.  For a complete listing of the feature enhancements and errata fixes, please review the attached BIOS release notes.

The Altered Assembly (AA#) and PBA# numbers of the motherboard will change per the following table

SMI# and FLUSH# during Shutdown

Status - Not An Issue

Fixed in Stepping - C2

Details -The Advanced/ZP motherboard does not use the FLUSH# signal.


No shutdown after IERR#

Status - Not Worked Around

Fixed in Stepping - C2

Details - This errata describes certain conditions under which the CPU will not shut itself down after detecting an internal parity error.  Only a defective CPU will generate internal parity errors, therefore this errata only has relevance for systems with a defective CPU.

If a user has a defective CPU which encounters a parity error but is not affected by this errata (either because they have a C step CPU or they did not encounter one of the aggravating conditions) their CPU will immediately shut down, resulting in the termination of all system activities, and loss of any data which is in an indeterminate state.

If a user has a defective CPU which encounters a parity error and is affected by this errata, (because they have a pre-C step CPU and encountered one of the aggravating conditions) then their system will continue functioning beyond the operation which caused the parity error.  In this case the system will still fail, due to the indirect effects of operating with an internal parity error (i.e. corrupted code execution). The end result is the same as if the system shutdown immediately due to the parity error.  A user with a CPU which is subject to internal parity errors will experience the same symptoms whether or not they are susceptible to this errata.

This errata has been fixed in the C stepping of the 75/90/100 MHz Pentium Processors.


Processor core may not serialize on bus idle

Status - Not an issue

Fixed in Stepping - B3

Details - This errata was fixed with the B3 stepping of the 75/90/100 MHz Pentium Processor.  The Advanced/ZP motherboard ships with post B3 CPUs and this errata does not apply.


SMIACT# Premature Assertion during Replacement Writeback Cycle

Status - Worked Around

Fixed in Stepping - C2

Details - A motherboard is susceptible to this errata only if SMM space is  mapped over cacheable memory.  On the Advanced/ZP motherboard SMM space is mapped over non-cached Video RAM, hence this is not an issue.


STPCLK# Deassertion Not Recognized for 5 CLKs after BRDY# Returned

Status - Worked Around

Fixed in Stepping -

Details - The Advanced Power Management (APM) BIOS on the Advanced/ZP  motherboard has been implemented in a manner such that STPCLK# is not used.


Future Pentium OverDrive( Processor FERR# Contention in Two Socket Systems
Future Pentium OverDrive Processor FERR# Contention in Two Socket Systems

Status - Not An Issue

Fixed in Stepping - C2

Details - This errata is only relevant for motherboards which employ two sockets.  The Advanced/ZP motherboard employs a single socket.


Code cache lines are not invalidated if snooped during AutoHALT or Stop Grant states

Status - Not an issue

Fixed in Stepping - B3

Details - This errata was fixed with the B3 stepping of the 75/90/100 MHz Pentium Processor.  The Advanced/ZP motherboard ships with post B3 CPUs and this errata does not apply.


STPCLK# assertion during execution of the HALT instruction hangs system

Status - Worked Around

Fixed in Stepping - B3

Details - The Advanced/ZP  APM code has been implemented in a manner such that STPCLK# is not used.


FRC mode miscompare due to uninitialized internal register

Status - Not An Issue

Fixed in Stepping -

Details - This problem only has implications in dual processor fault tolerant machines which employ FRC (Functional Redundancy Checking) on a cycle by cycle basis.  The Advanced/ZP  motherboard is uni-processor and does not operate in this mode.


STPCLK# restrictions during EWBE#

Status - Worked Around

Fixed in Stepping -

Details - The Advanced/ZP motherboard APM code has been implemented in a manner such that STPCLK# is not used, hence this is not an issue.


Dual Processor system errata

Status - Not An Issue

Fixed in Stepping -

Details - These errata are only relevant for motherboards which employ dual processors.


AP1, AP2, AP5, AP6, AP7, AP8,AP9, AP10

Status - Not an Issue.

Fixed in Stepping -

Details - These errata are only relevant for motherboards which employ dual processors and the Pentium chip's own APIC.  The Advanced/ZP motherboard is uni-processor and disables the APIC in hardware.


TCP2

Status - Not An Issue

Fixed in Stepping -

Details - This Errata only applies to systems which use the TCP package.  The Advanced/ZP motherboard does not use a TCP package.


Base Board errata

Locked PCI Cycles Function Improperly (Video Problems)

Cannot permanently disable the on-board IDE interface using the ICU

PowerMan screen saver causes failures with FAX/Modem transfers

The ICU does not support serial port IRQ sharing by the motherboard

Serial mouse does not wake monitor screen after APM shutdown in OS/2

Keyboard and mouse intermittently fail to bring system out of standby mode

APM doesn't function properly running Personal Netware


Locked PCI Cycles Function Improperly (Video Problems)

Problem

Solution


Known Errata - Locked PCI Cycles Function Improperly (Video Problems) - Problem
Problem

Locked PCI Cycles by the Triton TSC (82437FX) to a retrying PCI target do not function properly.

Details

The A-1 stepping Triton TSC chip, the 82437FX, does not properly terminate locked cycles under certain conditions.  The improperly terminated cycle can result in a system lock-up.  There are two conditions that must occur simultaneously for this errata to exhibit itself.

Scenario

The TSC, performing a Locked access on PCI, is retried by the target PCI agent.

The TSC is retried on a locked access to a PCI agent.

The retry cycle is immediately followed by another Bus master requesting DMA cycles to main system memory.

The system locks up because the retried lock cycle was not properly terminated, therefore the DMA cycle never completes resulting in a locked up system.

Failures Observed

This system lock-up has only been experienced when using a certain PCI graphics card that is memory mapped on the PCI bus and incorporates the Retry mechanism (if disconnects were performed instead of retries then there would be no issue).  This card when combined with drivers that create locked accesses to the card (VGA drivers supplied with Windows create locked accesses)  are susceptible to this errata.. Typically cards that are not in this category are SCSI and LAN cards (which I/O map and therefore are not susceptible to this errata).

Additional data

Dozens of PCI graphics cards which were tested as part of the Triton compatibility validation did not cause the system to lock-up when using the standard Windows VGA drivers or when using the drivers supplied by the graphics card vendor.  There were two cards, out of all these cards, that failed the test..


Known Errata - Locked PCI Cycles Function Improperly (Video Problems) - Solution
Solution

Intel has stepped the Triton TSC to an A2 stepping to correct this problem.  A work around for boards using the A1 stepping is to use known working video boards.  A list is provided below.

List of cards and components that have been tested that have NOT failed:

CARDS	COMPONENTS

ATI Mach32 & Mach64	              ATI

Diamond Viper-PCI and Viper Pro-PCI 	              Weitek/Oak

Cannot permanently disable the on-board IDE interface using the ICU

Problem

Solution


Known Errata - Cannot permanently disable the on-board IDE interface using the ICU - Problem
Problem

If you use the ICU to disable the on-board IDE interface, the interface will be enabled again if you reboot the machine (it will not stay disabled).

IDE hard drives may not properly configure with Mitsumi IDE CD-ROM

Problem

Solution


Known Errata - IDE hard drives may not properly configure with Mitsumi IDE CD-ROM - Problem
Problem

When a Mitsumi IDE CD-ROM drive (model # CRMC-FX001DE) is configured as Slave on the primary channel (thus have a Hard disk as Master) and have a Hard Disk(s) on the secondary channel the device are detected incorrectly.  This is described as follows:

  1) Primary Master device detected as hard drive #0,

  2) Secondary Device detected as hard drive #2.

It appears that the Primary slave CD-ROM is partially detected as hard disk #1.

This causes problems later on when DOS is booted in that the Secondary hard disk is not accessible at all.


Known Errata - IDE hard drives may not properly configure with Mitsumi IDE CD-ROM - Solution
Solution

Make sure to install the CD-ROM as a lower priority device than all hard drives.  If there are 3 IDE hard drives, the CD-ROM should be configured as a slave device on the secondary channel.

ADVANCED/ZP APPROVED SIMM LIST

IMPORTANT NOTE

SIMM devices with gold contacts should NOT be placed into SIMM sockets with tin-lead contacts or vice-versa. Mixing dissimilar metal contact types has been shown to result in unreliable memory operation. For more information, see FaxBack document 4229.

The following tables list SIMMs that are known to be compatible with the Advanced/ZP Baby-AT Board and Expandable Desktop. SIMMs that are not listed also should function properly as long as their specifications are compatible with the devices listed below. In general, SIMM devices that are faster than those specified for a given platform will work although no extra performance will be realized.  The SIMM devices shown are categorized according to three levels of qualification:

1. Intel Approved and Tested:  The device has been electrically tested by Intel and is known to be compatible with the Advanced/ZP. In addition, the vendor has met or exceeded Intel's product change, quality control, and availability and is listed on our Approved Manufacturing List.

2. Intel Tested: The device has been electrically tested by Intel  at ambient temperatures; running a series of Intel tests (PCDIAG) and applications.

3. Customer Tested: The device has been electrically tested by a customer and is reported to be compatible with the specified platform(s).

Intel recommends that SIMMs listed as (1) Intel Approved and Tested or (2) Intel Tested be used to ensure reliable system operation. SIMMs not listed or listed as (3) Customer Tested can be used; but, in the event of unreliable system operation, the SIMMs should be replaced with SIMMs tested by Intel (1 or 2) to determine whether the SIMMs are causing the problem.

All Sizes:  Tin-lead contacts.

*                                               for Windows(TM)   *

*Release 1.43                                            May 1995 *

*******************************************************************

Introduction

============

This kit contains Release 1.43 of the Plug and Play Kit for Windows. This release of the Plug and Play Kit for Windows supersedes all previous releases.  The components of this kit are:   Plug and Play Configuration Manager (CM) for Windows Provides configuration services to real-mode and protected- mode drivers and to applications in Windows environments. Plug and Play ISA Configuration Utility (ICU) for Windows Provides a way to assign system resources to add-in cards before the card is installed.  This assignment avoids resource conflicts and keeps track of system resources so that Plug and Play cards do not conflict with non-Plug and Play cards in a system.  A full description of ICU features and use is available in the ISA Configuration Utility (ICU) User's Guide. Information on the components of this kit, and on the inclusion of the Configuration manager and the ISA Configuration Utility in your products, is available in the Plug and Play Developer's Guide.

*******************************************************************

*Plug and Play Configuration Manager (CM)                         *

*******************************************************************

The Plug and Play Configuration Manager provides all of the functionality defined in the "Plug and Play Device Driver Specification for Microsoft(R) Windows(TM) and MS-DOS(R)".  The Configuration Manager also complies with the specifications

and definitions in:

  "Plug and Play ISA Specification", Version 1.0a from Intel Corporation and Microsoft Corporation

  "Plug and Play BIOS Specification", Version 1.0a from Intel Corporation, Compaq Computer Corporation,Phoenix Technologies, Ltd., and Microsoft Corporation

  "Plug and Play BIOS Extensions Guide", Version 1.1 from Intel Corporation

  "PCI BIOS Specification", Version 2.1  from Intel Corporation

Configuration Manager Limitations

=================================

Please be aware that this release of the Plug and Play Configuration Manager for Windows has the following limitations: The default installation of the MS-DOS CM driver invokes the driver with the 'lock' device function of the CM provided by the   CM_LockConfig and CM_UnlockConfig functions unavailable to PC add-in install programs running in a real-mode MS-DOS environment.  The CM lock functionality is always available under Windows,   including the Windows V86 DOS. If this functionality is needed,  add the /LOCK parameter to the line in your CONFIG.SYS file that invokes the CM driver, DWCFGMG.SYS. CM_LockConfig and CM_UnlockConfig are unrelated to the locking options available with ECU or ICU utilities.  In the absence of the Intel Plug and Play BIOS extensions, Plug and Play boot devices are not reconfigured by the Configuration  Manager. Calls to the Configuration Manager do not work during  sys_critical_init.

******************************************************************

*Plug and Play Kit ISA Configuration Utility (ICU)               *

******************************************************************

See the ISA Configuration Utility User's Guide for details on using the Plug and Play ICU.

  NOTE

     The ISA Configuration Utility is for ISA systems only.  Do not run it on EISA systems.  To configure EISA systems, use an EISA Configuration Utility.

===============

Please be aware that this release of the Plug and Play ISA Configuration Utility for Windows has the following limitations: If any PCI devices are locked, the ICU may fail when trying to  reconfigure other PCI devices.  To work around this limitation,  unlock all PCI devices while adding or modifying other cards. You may lock the PCI devices again before saving the configuration. Pressing the F1 key invokes the ICU help facility from the  ISA Configuration Utility window (the main window) only. When you are modifying a function of a Plug and Play card in preparation for locking it, you might see a conflict message that indicates the card is conflicting with itself.  Try reconfiguring the card functions in a different order. If a function has two or more resource types that must be

  configured together, the ICU might not be able to configure that function, even though there might be a valid configuration available.  See the discussion on resolving conflicts in the Troubleshooting section of the ICU User's Guide for ways to successfully configure functions in this category. When you pick a resource for a new card that is currently used  by an existing card, the ICU reconfigures the Plug and Play ISA cards first, then the PCI cards.  However, PCI cards are restricted to specific interrupts.  Sometimes the configuration fails because the ICU assigns all the valid PCI interrupts to the Plug and Play cards, so that it cannot configure the PCI cards.  Use the ICU to reconfigure the Plug and Play cards to different interrupts, then try again to configure your new card.

Operational Hints

=================

 If the Windows screen saver becomes active during the Windows ICU setup, the index generator that runs at the end of the setup program is iconized as an MS-DOS icon.  To complete the setup procedure, return to Windows and maximize the MS-DOS icon.  The installation procedures in this kit assume that C: is the boot drive of the system.  Therefore, the procedures create, make changes to, or overwrite boot drive files on C:.  In particular, the procedures put the escd.rf file into C:\,  and create or modify the config.sys file in C:\.    On systems without the Plug and Play BIOS, if the boot drive is not C:, but some other drive, the user must move the escd.rf file to the root directory of the boot drive.  Also, the user must add a line that loads the CM driver (DWCFGMG.SYS) to the CONFIG.SYS file in the root directory of the boot drive. Some utilities, for example, the Stacker disk compression utility, can change the boot drive from C: to another drive. Such drive changes are not always obvious to the user. In order to avoid the user having to move and edit files, the installation procedure must make an INT 21 call to detect the boot device before installing the escd.rf file or  changing the config.sys file. The Windows ICU installation fails on a system that has MS-DOS 6.0 installed with the VSafe virus scanner active if the VSafe scanner checks executable files and protects executable files  (VSafe options 4 and 8).  If you are upgrading from a previous version of the ICU,  any user-entered names for unlisted cards are lost and will have to be re-entered. When you save an image file (Save Image File or Save Image File As.. on the Advanced menu), the icu.ndx index file is not updated.  So if the configuration you saved contained one or   more unlisted cards, when you load the image file you saved, the card resources for these unlisted cards are in the loaded configuration image.  However, cards of this type might be listed  as "Unknown Card," instead of by the name you assigned when you added it.  You can avoid this behavior by choosing the Save item on the File menu before you save the image file.  In addition, if you copy the image file to another system, you  must also copy the icu.ndx index file to avoid this behavior. After using the ICU load image file operation, you must save the changes and reboot your system before making any other changes.  If you don't, you will see inconsistent behavior. When a PCI or Plug and Play ISA card is modified, the ICU asks  you to verify that the card is configured as shown.  This step is unnecessary; the card will be automatically configured as shown when the system next boots. Configuration Assistance Utility (cassist) operation is incompatible with Plug and Play cards.  Remove all Plug and Play cards from your system before running cassist.  Failure to do so may result in system failure.  Replace the cards after you have run cassist.  If you have no mouse, you may experience changes in the keyboard   interface.  In most cases you can still traverse buttons, list boxes and menus in the dialog boxes using <TAB> key and select using the space bar.  In the message dialogs, you must use the up and down arrow keys or page up and page down keys instead for traversal. This release of the ICU includes PCMCIA Revision 2.10 support. This does not include support for CardBus or DMA, which were added to the new PC-Card Standard.  This release installs the following file:

<drive>:\windows\system\pccardrm.386

This file is a PCMCIA Card Services virtual device driver (VxD). The VxD allows the ICU to receive PCMCIA card events as Card  Services clients on Windows.  For this VxD to work properly,  real mode Card Services must be running on your system.  An entry for this VxD is put into the \windows\system.ini file under [386Enh] but is commented out.  Edit the file and remove the comment character(;) to activate the VxD.

Advanced Power Management

(Installation instructions for Advanced Power Management for Microsoft* Windows* 3.11) 1.0 Revision History: 2 Mar 95: Original Release 2.0 Introduction. APM software enables the power management feature of the system.  This feature reduces the amount of electrical energy consumed by the VESA* DPM compliant system monitor, the power aware IDE hard drive(s), and the CPU after a specified period of inactivity.  The default Setup Program installs the APM software, invokes the software, issues a message that instructs the user to enable APM using Windows Setup, and displays the PowerMan icon.  3.0 Installation of APM Software The installation program is setup.exe.  The setup.exe program will install the APM software.  Please refer to the Enabling APM Software under Windows to learn how to enable the APM software. The software files are compressed to conserve space and you cannot copy them directly to your hard disk; you must use the Setup Program.  To install the APM Software: 1. Close any open application so only Windows* is running.	2. Insert the diskette into the diskette drive.	3. In the Windows Program Manager, choose Run from the File menu.  The Run dialog box opens. 4. In the Command Line box, type [Diskette drive name]:\setup and click Ok. 5. After the drivers are loaded onto the system, the system  will be restarted. 4.0 Enabling APM Software under Windows The APM software consists of two portions: APM software shipped with Windows and software provided on the diskette. To enable APM in Windows:

1. Exit Windows.

2. Make Windows the current directory.  At the DOS prompt, type:    CD \WINDOWS and press <Enter>.

3. To run Windows Setup, type:  SETUP  <Enter>

4. Use the arrow keys to highlight selection next to the heading: Computer:

5. Press  <Enter> to list selections.

6. Use the arrow keys to select: MS-DOS System with APM

7. Follow screen prompts to accept these changes to Windows Setup.

8. Use BIOS Setup to set the Advanced Power Management option to Enabled.

5.0 Power Management Options Clicking on the PowerMan icon displays a system menu that allows users to obtain help, set options, enter the Power Saving State, and enter the PowerDown power management state which turns OFF the power supply to the system.  The Help option displays help for Power Management.  The Options menu selection displays the Power Management Options dialog box. Use this dialog box to establish the power management state for your system.  The Suspend option immediately puts the system into Power Saving state. The selected Power Saving modes conserve energy. Selecting this option is same as pressing the front panel button, the Hot-Key combination, or having the system inactivity timer time out.  The system returns to normal operation when you press the suspend/resume button, press a key, move the mouse (if enabled), or click a mouse button (if enabled). The PowerDown option turns the system off so that power can be disconnected from the system.  It is not recommended to disconnect the system from its power source when it is in normal operation or in a power management state other than PowerDown.  Only disconnect the system from its power source after it has been put into the PowerDown state by selecting the PowerDown option. This option is disabled if the system does not support soft power off. 6.0 Installed Files and Directory Structure The default install program for APM creates this directory structure: C:\windows\dospm.exe   powerman.hlp apmapp.exe system\ powerman.386powerman.scr System Configuration File Changes The default Setup Program for APM makes these changes to the system configuration files: 1. Adds the following entries to the indicated section of the win.ini file: [windows] load=apmapp.exe

2. Adds the following entries to the indicated section of the system.ini file[386Enh] device=powerman.386

3. Add the following to the config.sys file: DEVICE=C:\DOS\POWER.EXE

7.0 APM Installation for DOS The Setup program also installs APM for DOS.  The following entries are made for the DOS environment:

1. Add the following to the autoexec.bat file:

C:\WINDOWS\DOSPM.EXE /D /M [/P]

D       =       enable IDE drive power management

M       =       enable video power management

P       =       enable soft power down

Additional DOSPM Parameters

U       =       unloads DOSPM TSR, if loaded

You must select at least one device (video or IDE drive) for power management. 8.0 Additional APM Information  advanced power management is to reduce system power consumption to less than 30 watts during periods of inactivity as defined in the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Energy Star program.  The Advanced Product Line system uses APM BIOS version 1.1 to provide power management support for any operating system that supplies an APM driver such as POWER.EXE for DOS and VPOWERD.386 for Windows 3.1.  During periods of system inactivity the Advanced Product Line power management features: Remove drive motor power from all power aware IDE hard drives Reduce power consumed by VESA DPMS compliant monitors Use the System Management Mode (SMM) to reduce the power consumed by the CPU. There are three power management environments that an Advanced Product Line board can support: 1. APM BIOS with an operating system APM Driver 2. APM BIOS with an operating system APM Driver and PowerMan software (DOS, Windows 3.x, Windows95) stem APM Driver and Instant On 	software (Windows95)8.1 APM BIOS with APM Driver The APM BIOS with APM Driver reduces the system's energy consumption below Energy Star levels.  You enable APM BIOS using the Setup program.  When enabled, APM BIOS causes the system to enter the power managed state, Standby, when it receives a suspend request.  The Standby state causes the monitor, IDE drives, and CPU to reduce their energy consumption while maintaining the ability to "wake up" (return to normal operation) when any external interrupt occurs (e.g., incoming phone calls to a FAX/modem add-in card).  When the APM BIOS is enabled and the operating system APM driver (power.exe) is loaded, the system enters the Standby mode when one of these suspend actions occurs:

1. The System inactivity timer counts down to zero.  This timer counts down when the system does not receive an IRQ1 (keyboard), IRQ12 (PS/2 mouse), or IRQ14/15 (IDE hard drive) interrupt.  When one of these interrupts occurs, the System inactivity timer resets.  You set the timer value using Setup (default is ten minutes).

2. Pressing a keyboard Hot-Key.  You define the Hot-Key sequence using Setup. 3. Pressing the front panel suspend/resume button.

4. Software program issues a suspend request. The APM BIOS power management is well suited to the home user with a FAX or AT+V modem who wants to receive FAXs and phone messages while conserving energy. To wake-up the system the user can move the mouse, click a mouse button, or press a key on the keyboard.  When the User password is enabled the user must type the password before the system will "wake up".  The user is not prompted for the password, but the keyboard LEDs flash to indicate that the password is enabled. 8.2 APM BIOS with APM Driver and PowerMan Software The APM BIOS solution provides the ability to respond to incoming events, but  it does not provide the ability to wake the system up in response to scheduled software events (for example, send a number of faxes after midnight).  The APM BIOS solution cannot support wake up from schedule software events because it requires an external interrupt.  To support this environment, the Advanced Product Line  comes with a software utility named PowerMan.  PowerMan supports scheduled events and soft off power supplies. PowerMan is a driver and Windows screen saver that works in conjunction with the APM BIOS so all of its features are maintained.  However, when PowerMan is loaded, the system acts differently than with APM BIOS alone. When PowerMan is loaded the system only wakes up the monitor and hard drives if there is keyboard or PS/2 mouse activity.  If the wake-up is from software (e.g., incoming FAX), the CPU services the interrupt and the hard drive motor turns on, if required, but the monitor remains asleep.  When the interrupt is serviced, the CPU and hard drives return to Standby.  This behavior makes  PowerMan well suited for  a networked environment.  Networks frequently produce system interrupts that cause the system to constantly wake up with the APM BIOS only solution.  With PowerMan installed the system does not appear to wake up because the monitor does not wake-up unless the PS/2 mouse or keyboard are activated.  Turning on the monitor only for user generated interrupts maximizes energy savings as the monitor is the largest energy consuming device. Another benefit of PowerMan is that it utilizes the screen saver interface to provide password support.  With PowerMan loaded the system wakes up andprompts the user for a password just as a normal screen saver would.  The user can select the PowerMan screen saver and set the password using the Control Panel or by using PowerMan Options dialog box.  ther PowerMan configuration options include mouse click or move wake up, definition, and power saving sequencing of the DPMS monitor and DEhard drive.  Because power managing the disk drives and monitor requires some compromise of system responsiveness to the user, it is possible to have the system gradually increase the power reduction (thus, decrease responsiveness) over time.  PowerMan also provides a mechanism to turn the system completely off with a mouse click if the system is equipped with a "soft off" power supply.  If the system does not have a "soft off" power supply, this feature is automatically disabled.  This feature completely mimics the Windows95 Shutdown command and provides the user with the only method of turning off the system without reaching behind the chassis. A TSR named DOSPM.EXE provides support for scheduled events and soft off under DOS. 8.3 InstantOn (Windows95 only)  InstantOn is a much more robust power management implementation that takes ull advantage of the APM version 1.1 feature set and creates an environment of system reliability that APM BIOS or PowerMan cannot provide.  Loading InstantOn completely disables PowerMan.  In addition to supporting responsiveness to external interrupts and scheduled events, Instant On provides support for power managing add-in cards and support for applicationg restart in the event of a system hang.  Application restart is very important for systems that are responsible for important tasks such as voice messaging. With InstantOn the system can restart itself and pick up where it left off before the crash.  The system also re-establishes a network connection.  9.0 Copyright/Trademarks

Frequently Asked Questions

Q:     Does the Advanced ZP support 133 MHz processors?

A:     Yes certain boards do support 133 MHz processors, but they will not support future overdrive processors for 133 MHz.  Boards sold as 100 Mhz or 133 Mhz will support the 133 Mhz processors.  For clarification see the chart in the TPS under Board Level Information - CPU.

Q:     Should I use EDO SIMMS with the Advanced ZP board?

A:     The speed advantages gained by using EDO SIMMs in a base board with cache installed are minimal (in the neighborhood of .5%).  Since the Advanced ZP boards available through normal distribution have cache soldered to the base board, the advantage of EDO memory over fast page is nominal.

Q:     What are the End Of Life Terms for the Advanced ZP?

A:      The advanced ZP is a "Trendsetter" product and therefore is orderable for 1 month after the end of life announcement.  You may take final delivery within the next 3 months after placing an order.  This gives you a full four month period to take final delivery on a product.

Q:      Will my Advanced ZP board run Windows 95?

A:     Yes.  The Advanced ZP has been tested with Windows 95.

Q:     Where do I get a replacement battery for CMOS.

A:     This is a commonly available battery available in many local retail outlets.

Q:     Can PCI cards share interrupts?

A:     Yes.  PCI cards can share interrupts with other PCI cards by design.

Q:     Which switches must be changed when I change my processor?

A:     You must ensure that switches 2, 6, 7, and 8 are set correctly.  See the TPS Appendix B for proper switch settings.

Q:     What voltage support is required for my processor?

A:     There are a variety of processors available and it is best to question the voltage requirements of the processor upon purchase.  Generally most 75 and 90 MHz processors will use Vr support, while most 100, 120, and 133 processors will require Vre support.

Q:     What is the result of using SIMMS that are not on the approved list.

A:     You may experience a variety of failures including system lock ups.  The nature of these errors can be unpredictable.  Intel recommends using level 1 qualified SIMMS from the approved vendor list.

Introduction

The Intel Advanced/ZP baseboard features the Pentium processor in a Baby-AT form factor with integrated I/O. Advanced/ZP baseboards are focused on providing the best possible performance at the lowest possible price for mainstream desktop computers.

Advanced/ZP is a flexible baseboard which is available with the 75 MHz, 90 MHz, 100 MHz, or 120 MHz Pentium processor. The processor is complemented by a standard 256 KB asynchronous SRAM second level write-back cache and support for up to 128 MB of Fast Page or EDO DRAM. A Pentium OverDrive socket (Socket 5) provides access to future performance enhancements.

The Advanced/ZP baseboard offers outstanding I/O capabilities starting with the full set of I/O, including a floppy drive interface, dual channel PCI local bus IDE interfaces, two serial ports with FIFOs, an EPP/ECP capable parallel port, and an infrared (IrDA) port. Two dedicated PCI local bus slots, and one shared PCI/ISA slot, provide a high bandwidth data path for functions such as graphics that have a high data throughput requirement. The integrated Bus Mastering capable PCI IDE controller provides two high performance IDE interfaces for hard drives and CD-ROMs. Bus mastering enhances the performance in multi-tasking environments such as Windows* 95. The Advanced/ZP baseboard also provides three dedicated ISA connectors and one shared PCI/ISA connector. There is one PCI full length capable slot, and three ISA full length capable slots.

In addition to superior hardware capabilities, features like Windows 95-ready Plug and Play and Advanced Power Management (APM) with application restart are provided by software available from Intel for the Advanced/ZP platform.

The Advanced/ZP baseboard provides the foundation for cost effective, high performance, highly expandable platforms which deliver the latest in CPU and I/O technology.

Although the Advanced/ZP will support CGA emulation by VGA cards, it will not support CGA cards.


Advanced/ZP Form Factor

The Advanced/ZP baseboard is designed to fit into a standard Baby-AT form factor chassis. Figure 1 illustrates the mechanical form factor for the Advanced/ZP. The actual dimensions of the Advanced/ZP baseboard do not strictly adhere to the standard Baby-AT guidelines, and exceptions to the standard are listed in the Baseboard Design Exceptions section.

Baseboard dimensions

The Advanced/ZP is 3.0" shorter than the Baby-AT standard. The shorter board length may require some chassis to be modified to add additional mounting holes.


Mounting Hole Placement

The mounting holes located in the bottom left and right corners of Figure 1 are pseudo Baby-AT standard and are available in many, but not all, Baby-AT compatible chassis.


Front panel connectors

There is no front panel connector on the baseboard for a Turbo/Deturbo switch. The processor speed can be set either through a parameter in the CMOS Setup Utility, or from the keyboard (<CTL><ALT><+> = Turbo, <CLT><ALT><-> = Deturbo). Changing processor speed from the keyboard may be prohibited by the operating system, or when the processor is in protected mode.

Setting the processor to deturbo (or slow) only slows the processor to the approximate equivalent of a 25 MHz clock rate, not the standard 8 MHz clock rate.


Jumpers/Switches

There is no Color/Mono jumper/switch on the baseboard to specify Monochrome or Color video mode at boot, the BIOS will automatically detect the type of video card installed.

Also, there is no Flash write protect jumper/switch, the BIOS needs to be able to write to FLASH to support the Plug and Play features.

CPU

The Advanced/ZP baseboard is designed to operate with 3.3 volt Pentium processors. A patented on-board voltage regulator circuit provides the required 3.3 volts from the 5 volt tap provided by a standard PC power supply. The baseboard supports the Pentium processors at iCOMP index 610 \ 75 MHz, 735 \ 90 Mhz, 815 \ 100 Mhz, and 1000 \ 120 Mhz, 1010\133 MHz. The Pentium processor is backward-compatible with the 8086, 80286, i386 and i486 CPUs. It supports both read and write burst mode bus cycles, and includes separate 8K on-chip code and data caches which employ a write-back policy. Also integrated into the Pentium processor is an advanced numeric coprocessor which significantly increases the speed of floating point operations, while maintaining backward compatibility with i486DX math coprocessor and complying to ANSI/IEEE standard 754-1985.

All Advanced/ZP baseboards support the 75 MHz and 90 MHz processors. The matrix below shows which Printed Board Assemblies (PBA number found on the baseboard) also support the 100 MHz, 120 MHz, or 133 MHz processor.

Processor Speed	Supported by PBA Numbers:

Performance Upgrade


Performance Upgrade

A 320-pin Type 5 Zero Insertion Force socket provides users with a performance upgrade path to future, higher speed, Pentium processors. An OverDrive processor being developed for use with this socket will provide performance beyond that delivered by the originally installed Pentium processor.


Second Level Cache

The Pentium processor's internal cache is complemented by 256 KB direct mapped write-back second level cache. The 256 KB cache configuration is implemented with eight 32kx8 asynchronous SRAM devices for the cache data and one 32kx8 SRAM for the cache tag.


Technical Product Summary - Board Level Information - System Memory
System Memory

The Advanced/ZP baseboard provides four 72-pin SIMM sites for memory expansion. The sockets support 1M x 32 (4 MB), 2M x 32 (8 MB), 4M x 32 (16 MB), and 8M x 32 (32 MB) single-sided or double-sided SIMM modules. Minimum memory size is 8 MB and maximum memory size, using four 8M x 32 SIMM modules, is 128 MB. For external CPU speeds of less than 60 Mhz (used with 75, 90 and 120 Mhz processors) memory timing requires 70 ns fast page devices or, for higher performance, 70 ns EDO DRAM. For external CPU speeds of 66 Mhz (used with 100 Mhz processors) you must use 60 nS EDO DRAM, but 70 nS fast page DRAM may still be used. Parity generation and checking is not supported by the chip set.

The four sockets are arranged as Bank 0 and Bank 1, with each bank consisting of two sockets and providing a 64-bit wide data path. Both SIMMs in a bank must be of the same memory size and type, however Banks 0 and 1 may have different types of memory installed. It is even possible to have 70 ns Fast Page DRAM in one bank and 60 ns EDO DRAM in the other, in which case each bank is independently optimized for maximum performance. Bank 0 only, Bank 1 only, or both banks may be populated. There are no jumper settings required for the memory size or type, which is automatically detected by the system BIOS. Tin lead SIMMs are required to be used when adding Fast Page or EDO DRAM.

Related Topics:

EDO DRAM


EDO DRAM

Extended Data Out (or Hyper Page Mode) DRAM is designed to improve the DRAM read performance. EDO DRAM holds the memory data valid until the next CAS# falling edge, unlike standard fast page mode DRAM which tri-states the memory data when CAS# negates to precharge for the next cycle. With EDO, the CAS# precharge overlaps the data valid time, allowing CAS# to negate earlier while still satisfying the memory data valid window time.


Expansion Slots

Up to six expansion slots may be populated on the Advanced/ZP baseboard. There are four ISA bus expansion conectors and three PCI expansion connectors. One slot is shared by connectors that will accommodate either an ISA or a PCI expansion card, but not both at the same time. This accounts for the disparity between the number of slots and connectors. All three PCI expansion slots accept PCI bus mastering cards, and fully comply with the PCI 2.0 specification. Three of the ISA slots and one PCI slot can accommodate full length add-in cards. Interference with the processor heat sink and CPU voltage regulator support circuitry limits the rest of the ISA and PCI slots to being able to support only half-length add-in cards.

PCI 3.3 Volt Capabilities

To maintain strict compliance with the PCI specification, the baseboard provides a connector which can be used to route 3.3 volt power to the PCI slots. The connector may be used with a separate 3.3 volt power supply or with a custom designed voltage converter. Note: The on-board 3.3 volt regulator provides power for the CPU, PCIset and L2 cache only, not the PCI slots.


Security features

Administrative Password

BIOS Password

Setup Enable Switch


Administrative Password

The administrative password protects several sensitive Setup options from being viewable to a user unless the password is entered. These sensitive fields are viewable unless the administrative password is set.


BIOS Password

A BIOS password feature provides security during the boot process. A password can be entered using the Setup utility, and will be required on boot up before normal operation of the system can commence. To enable, disable, or change the password, refer to the Setup program options in the appendix.

If the password is forgotten, it can be cleared by turning off the system and setting the "password clear" jumper to the clear position.


Setup Enable Switch

A baseboard configuration switch controls access to the BIOS Setup utility. By setting switch SW5 to the ON position, the user is prevented from accessing the Setup utility during the Power-On Self Test or at any other time. The message prompting the user to press <F1> to enter setup is also disabled


Power Consumption

Table 2 lists the current used by system resources in a configuration which includes 8 MB of DRAM. Table 3 lists the typical power consumed by the same configuration. Note that the 3.3 volts used to drive the CPU and core logic is derived from an on-board voltage regulator from the +5 volt source. This information is provided only as a guide for calculating approximate total system power usage with additional resources added.

Technical Product Summary - Front panel connections - Sleep/Resume
Sleep/Resume

This two pin header, when connected to a momentary switch, can be used to put the system into a power managed state (standby) that will reduce the system's power consumption. If the system is in Stand By mode and the switch is pressed, the system will instantly "wake up" or Resume full system activity. When used with a power supply with a high efficiency rating, the Advanced/ZP is easily capable of reducing the system power to below EPA Energy Star requirements. The function of the Sleep/Resume button can also be achieved via the keyboard with a hot key sequence programmable in setup.


Infra-Red (IrDA) connector

Serial port 2 can be configured to support an IrDA module via a 5 pin header connector. Once configured for IrDA, the user can transfer files to/from portable devices such as laptops, PDA's and printers using application software such as LapLink. The IrDA specification provides for data transfers at up to 115kbps from a distance of 1 meter.


Speaker

The external speaker provides error beep code information during the Power-On Self Test if the system cannot use the video interface. See the appendix for more information about error beep codes.


Back panel connections

The back panel provides external access to an AT style keyboard connector integrated on the Advanced/ZP baseboard. Figure 4 shows the general location of the AT style keyboard connector.

National Semiconductor 87306 Super I/O Controller

Control for the integrated serial ports, parallel port, floppy drive, RTC and keyboard controller is incorporated into a single component, the National Semiconductor 87306. This component provides:

•	Two NS16C550-compatible UARTs with send/receive 16 byte FIFO

- Support for an IrDA compliant Infra Red interface

•	Multi-mode bi-directional parallel port

- Standard mode; IBM and Centronics compatible

- Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP) with BIOS/Driver support

- High Speed mode; Enhanced Capabilities Port (ECP) compatible

•	Industry standard floppy controller with 16 byte data FIFO (2.88 MB floppy support)

•	Integrated Real Time Clock accurate within +/- 13 minutes/yr

•	Integrated 8042 compatible keyboard controller

Configuration of these interfaces is possible via the CMOS Setup program that can be invoked during boot-up. The serial ports can be enabled as COM1, COM2 or disabled. COM2 can alternately be configured as an IRDA port. The parallel port can be configured as normal, extended , or disabled. The floppy interface can be configured for 720 KB, 1.2 MB, 1.44 MB, or 2.88 MB media. Header pins located near the back of the board allow cabling to use these interfaces.

Keyboard Interface

The AT keyboard connector is located on the back panel side of the baseboard. The 5V lines to this connector is protected with a PolySwitch* circuit which acts much like a self-healing fuse, re-establishing the connection after an over-current condition is removed. While this device eliminates the possibility of having to replace a fuse, care should be taken to turn off the system power before installing or removing a keyboard.

The integrated 8042 microcontroller contains the AMI Megakey keyboard controller code which, besides providing traditional keyboard control functions, supports Power-On/Reset (POR) password protection. The POR password can be defined by the user via the Setup program. The keyboard controller also provides for the following "hot key" sequences:

•	CTRL-ALT-DEL: System software reset. This sequence performs a software reset of the system by jumping to the beginning of the BIOS code and running the POST operation.

•	CTRL-ALT+ and CTRL-ALT-: Turbo mode selection. CTRL-ALT- sets the system for de-turbo mode, emulating a 25 MHz AT, and CTRL-ALT+ sets the system for turbo mode. Changing the Turbo mode may be prohibited by an operating system, or when the CPU is in Protected mode or virtual 86 mode under DOS.

•	CTRL-ALT-<defined in setup>: Power down and coffee-break key sequences take advantage of the SMM features of the Pentium processor to greatly reduce the system's power consumption while maintaining the responsiveness necessary to service external interrupts.


Real Time Clock, CMOS RAM and Battery

The integrated Real Time Clock, RTC, is accurate to within 13 minutes/year. The RTC can be set via the BIOS SETUP Program. CMOS memory supports the standard 128byte batterybacked RAM, fourteen bytes for clock and control registers, and 114 bytes of general purpose non-volatile CMOS RAM. All CMOS RAM is reserved for BIOS use. The CMOS RAM can be set to specific values or cleared to the system default values using the BIOS SETUP program. Also, the CMOS RAM values can be cleared to the system defaults by using a configuration switch on the baseboard. Appendix B lists switch and jumper configurations.

An external coin-cell style battery provides power to the RTC and CMOS memory. The battery has an estimated lifetime of seven years and is socketed for easy replacement. Refer to Appendix A for battery replacement details.


IrDA (InfraRed) Support

Serial port 2 can be configured to support an IrDA module via a 5 pin header connector. Once configured for IrDA, the user can transfer files to/from portable devices such as laptops, PDA's and printers using application software such as LapLink. The IrDA specification provides for data transfers at up to 115kbps from a distance of 1 meter.

A 5-pin header is provided to allow connection to a Hewlett Packard HSDSL-1000 compatible Infra-red transmitter/receiver.

IDE Support


82437FX System Controller (TSC)

The 82437FX provides all control signals necessary to drive a second level cache and the DRAM array, including multiplexed address signals. It also controls system access to memory and generates snoop controls to maintain cache coherency. The TSC comes in a 208 pin QFP package.


82438FX Data Path (TDP)

There are two 82438FX components which provide data bus buffering and dual port buffering to the memory array. Controlled by the 82437FX, the 82438FX devices add one load each to the PCI bus and perform all the necessary byte and word swapping required. Memory and I/O write buffers are included in these devices. The TDP devices are 100 pin QFP packages.


82371FB PCI ISA/IDE Accelerator (PIIX)

The 82371FB provides the interface between the PCI and ISA buses and integrates a dual channel fast IDE interface capable of supporting up to 4 devices, seven 32-bit DMA channels, five 16-bit timer/counters, two eight-channel interrupt controllers, PCI-to-AT interrupt mapping circuitry, NMI logic, ISA refresh address generation, and PCI/ISA bus arbitration circuitry. The PIIX comes in a 208-pin QFP package.


82430FX Design Considerations

82430FX Memory Hole Limitation

82430FX PCI Hold Time Requirement


82430FX Memory Hole Limitation

Due the design of the 82430FX chipset, only one memory hole can be active at a time. The user can not set the Base Memory size to 512 KB and enable the ISA LFB at the same time.


82430FX PCI Hold Time Requirement

The 82430FX chipset provides less hold time than the earlier Neptune and Mercury chipsets on the PCI address and data lines, but still is within the PCI specification. (The PCI specification calls out a 0 ns minimum hold time.) Some PCI expansion cards do not meet this requirement, and in fact require more hold time than the 82430FX chipset provides. Disabling PCI write bursting will sometimes enable these cards to function.


IDE Support

The Advanced/ZP baseboard provides two independent high performance bus-mastering PCI IDE interfaces capable of supporting PIO Mode 3 and Mode 4 devices for up to 16 MB/sec transfers. Support for ATAPI devices is provided in the system BIOS. The system BIOS also supports Logical Block Addressing (LBA) and ECHS on both IDE interfaces. When used in conjunction with a special driver the IDE interface operates as a PCI bus master for optimum performance in a multi-tasking environment. One such driver is provided by Intel for the Windows 95 environment.


System BIOS

The Advanced/ZP baseboard uses an American Megatrends Incorporated (AMI) Pentium Processor ROM BIOS, which is stored in Flash EEPROM and easily upgraded using a floppy disk-based program. In addition to the AMIBIOS, the Flash EEPROM also contains the Setup utility, Power-On Self Tests (POST), update recovery code, and the PCI auto-configuration utility. This baseboard supports system BIOS shadowing, allowing the BIOS to execute from 32-bit on-board write-protected DRAM.

The BIOS displays a sign-on message during POST identifying the type of BIOS and a five-digit revision code. As an example the BIOS for the Advanced/ZP will be 1.00.02.BS0. As BIOS updates occur the revision number will increase to 1.00.03.BS0, and so on.

Information on BIOS functions can be found in the IBM PS/2 and Personal Computer BIOS Technical Reference published by IBM, and the ISA and EISA Hi-Flex AMIBIOS Technical Reference published by AMI. Both manuals are available at most technical bookstores.

Flash Implementation

The Intel 28F001BXT 1 Mb FLASH component is organized as 128K x 8 (128 KB). The Flash device is divided into five areas, as described in Table 1.

System Address		FLASH Memory Area
F0000H	FFFFFH	64 KB Main BIOS
EE000H	EFFFFH	8 KB Boot Block (Not FLASH erasable)
ED000H	EDFFFH	4 KB Plug and Play ESCD Storage Area
EC000H	ECFFFH	4 KB OEM LOGO Area
E0000H	EBFFFH	48 KB System BIOS Reserved
Table 2. Flash Memory Organization

The FLASH device resides in system memory in two 64 KB segments starting at E0000H, and can be mapped two different ways, depending on the mode of operation. In Normal Mode, address line A16 is inverted, setting the E000H and F000H segments so that the BIOS is organized as shown in the system address column above. Recovery mode removes the inversion on address line A16, swapping the E000H and F000H segments so that the 8 KB boot block resides at FE000H where the CPU expects the bootstrap loader to exist. This mode is only necessary in the unlikely event that a BIOS upgrade procedure is interrupted, causing the BIOS area to be left in an unusable state. For information on recovering the BIOS in the event of a catastrophic failure, refer to the appendix.


BIOS Upgrades

FLASH memory makes distributing BIOS upgrades easy. A new version of the BIOS can be installed from a diskette. BIOS upgrades will be available as downloadable files on the Intel bulletin board.

The disk-based Flash upgrade utility, FMUP.EXE, has three options for BIOS upgrades:

• 	The Flash BIOS can be updated from a file on a disk;

• 	The current BIOS code can be copied from the Flash EEPROM to a disk file as a backup in the event that an upgrade cannot be successfully completed; or

• 	The BIOS in the Flash device can be compared with a disk file to ensure the system has the correct BIOS version.

The upgrade utility ensures the upgrade BIOS extension matches the target system to prevent accidentally installing a BIOS for a different type of system. A recovery jumper is provided to allow recovery in the unlikely event of an unsuccessful BIOS upgrade. The jumper forces the ROM decode to access a 8 KB block of write protected recovery code in the Flash device.


Setup Utility

The ROM-based Setup utility allows the configuration to be modified without opening the system for most basic changes. The Setup utility is accessible only during the Power-On Self Test, POST, by pressing the <F1> key after the POST memory test has begun and before boot begins. A prompt may be enabled that informs the user to press the <F1> key to access Setup. A switch on the baseboard can be set to prevent user access to Setup for security purposes. Setup options are detailed in the BIOS appendix.


PCI Auto-Configuration

The PCI auto-configuration utility operates in conjunction with the system Setup utility to allow the insertion and removal of PCI cards to the system without user intervention. When the system is turned on after adding a PCI add-in card, the BIOS automatically configures interrupts, DMA channels, I/O space, and other parameters. The user does not have to configure jumpers or worry about potential resource conflicts. Because PCI cards use the same interrupt resources as ISA cards, the user must specify the interrupts used by ISA add-in cards in the Setup utility. The PCI Auto-Configuration function complies with version 2.0 of the PCI BIOS specification.


ISA Plug & Play

The BIOS incorporates ISA Plug and Play capabilities conforming to version 1.0a of the Plug-n-Play specification. This will allow auto-configuration of Plug and Play ISA cards, and resource management for legacy ISA cards, when used in conjunction with the ISA Configuration Utility (ICU).


Shadow Memory

Memory from C8000-DFFFF is not shadowed. This is a change from previous Intel products using AMI BIOS. This may have a slight adverse affect on the performance of some non-Plug and Play ISA cards. All or part of this area may be used as shared ISA memory if needed. Video BIOS located from C0000-C7FFF is shadowed to boost performance.


Power Management

The Advanced/ZP will enable you to have an Energy Star compliant system through its Advanced Power Management resources. The Advanced/ZP BIOS supports power management via System Management Mode (SMM) interrupts to the CPU and Advanced Power Management (APM v1.1). In general, power management capabilities will allow the system to be put into a power managed Stand By state. This can be accomplished by pressing the sleep/resume button on the front of the chassis, entering an user configured hot-key sequence on the keyboard, or by the expiration of a hardware timer which detects system inactivity for a user-configurable length of time. While in the Stand By state, the Advanced/ZP baseboard reduces the system power consumption to Energy Star levels by utilizing the power saving capabilities of the Pentium Processor, spinning down the IDE hard drive, and turning off an Energy Star rated monitor. Add-in cards supplied with APM-aware drivers can also be put into a power managed state for further energy savings. The ability to respond to external interrupts is fully maintained while in Stand By mode allowing the system to service requests such as in-coming FAX's or network messages while unattended.


Flash LOGO Area

Advanced/ZP supports a 4 KB programmable FLASH user area located at EC000-ECFFF. An OEM may use this area to display a custom logo. The BIOS accesses the user area at several points during the boot up sequence.

External CPU Clock speed (50/60/66 MHz) - Switches 7 & 8

This jumper sets the CPU's external operating frequency at 50, 60, and 66 MHz.. Default setting is 50 MHz.

Frequency	Switch 7	Switch 8
50 MHz	OFF	OFF
60 Mhz	ON	OFF
66 MHz	OFF	ON
Table B-1. External CPU Speed Switches


Internal CPU Bus Clock Speed - switch 6

Sets the internal processor speed to either 3/2 or 2 times the external CPU clock speed. Switch 6=OFF for 3/2, Switch 6=ON for 2 times. The 3/2 setting is used for 75 MHz, 90 MHz, and 100 MHz processors. The 2 times setting is used for 120 MHz processors. The default setting is 3/2, (Switch 6 = OFF).


Setup Disable - switch 5

Allows access to CMOS Setup Utility to be disabled by setting switch 5 to the ON position. Default is for access to setup to be enabled (switch 5 = OFF).


Clear CMOS - switch 4

Allows CMOS settings to be reset to default values by moving switch 4 to the ON position and turning the system on. The system should then be turned off and switch 4 should be returned to the OFF position to restore normal operation. This procedure should be done whenever the system BIOS is updated. Default setting is SW4=OFF.


Password Clear - switch 3

Allows system password to be cleared by moving switch 3 to the ON position and turning the system on. The system should then be turned off and switch 3 should be returned to the OFF position to restore normal operation. This procedure should only be done if the user password has been forgotten. Default setting is SW3=OFF.


Processor Voltage Regulation - switch 2

Sets the output of the on-board voltage regulator. The switch settings are OFF = VR, and ON = VRE. The VR voltage specification requires a voltage range of 3.3-3.465 Volts DC, while the VRE specification requires a voltage range of 3.45-3.6V. Pentium processors currently available that do not require the VRE voltage specification should use the VR setting. When upgrading your CPU be sure to consult the documentation for the processor voltage requirements before setting this switch, as an incorrect setting may damage the processor. The default position is with the switch set for VR (off).


ISA BUS SPEED - switch 1

Sets the ISA bus speed to either 1/4 or 1/3 of the PCI bus speed to best maximize system performance for 75, 90, 100 or 120 MHz processor speeds. When SW1=ON the ISA bus speed will be 1/4 of the PCI bus speed and when SW1=OFF the ISA bus speed will be 1/3 the PCI bus speed. The ISA bus speed is derived from the PCI bus speed which is derived from the external processor clock frequency. The position of SW1 will set the ISA bus speed to either Compatible or Enhanced for 90 MHz, 100 MHz, 120 MHz and 133 MHz processors and will leave the ISA bus speed Compatible for 75 MHz processor speed. For 90 MHz, 100 MHz, and 120 MHz processor speeds, if SW1 is set to Compatible (SW1=ON), the speed will fall within the limits defined by the IBM AT Technical Reference (6-8.33 MHz). If set to Enhanced (SW1=OFF), the speed will be greater than the maximum defined by the IBM AT Technical Reference manual. SW1 can be set to either position when a 75 MHz processor speed is used for maximum ISA bus performance. Modern ISA cards can operate with the enhanced speeds, however some older cards can experience difficulties. The actual value of the Bus Clock when set to Compatible or Enhanced is dependent upon the setting of the external processor frequency. The following table describes the ISA bus speeds for the 75 MHz, 90 MHz, 100 MHz, 120 MHz and 133 MHz processor speeds.

Internal Processor Frequency	PCI bus Frequency	SW1=OFF (1/3)	SW1=ON (1/4)
75 MHz	25 MHz	8.33 MHz	8.33 MHz
90 MHz	30 MHz	10.0 MHz	7.50 MHz
100 MHz	33 MHz	11.0 MHz	8.33 MHz
120 MHz	30 MHz	10.0 MHz	7.50 MHz
133 MHz	33 MHz	11.0 MHz	8.33 MHz
Table B-2. ISA Bus Speed Switch Settings


Recovery Boot Enable - J1K1

This switch allows the system to boot in the event the system BIOS has been corrupted by moving the jumper from the default position of 1-2 to the 2-3 position. A recovery disk must be in drive A while booting up with this jumper set to 2-3. Once the recovery is complete the jumper should be move back to pins 1-2, and the system rebooted.

This reports the maximum capacity of your hard disk. It is calculated from the number of cylinders, heads, and sectors. This is informational only, and there are no options here.

Initialization Timeout

When selected, this brings up a dialog box that allows you to specify the amount of time the system allows for auto-configuring an IDE drive before reporting that a drive is not present. The options are Disabled, 5, 10, or 31 seconds. The default setting for drive C: is 5 seconds, and the default for drives D:, E:, and F: is Disabled. To decrease boot-up time, you can set the time-out specification to Disabled for any drive not in the system. Furthermore, many hard drives do not require 5 seconds for auto-configuration. You may try setting the time-out to Disabled for a hard drive in your system. When set to Disabled, the system will try to auto-configure your drive once. If you set the time-out to Disabled and the drive is not detected, reset the time-out to a higher setting.

IDE Translation Mode

When selected, this brings up a dialog box that allows you to specify the IDE translation mode. The options are Standard CHS (standard cylinder head sector — less than 1024 cylinders), Logical Block Addressing (LBA), Extended CHS (extended cylinder head sector — greater than 1024 cylinders), and Auto Detected (BIOS detects IDE drive support for LBA). The default is Auto-detected.

Do not change this from the option selected when the hard drive was formatted. Changing the option may result in corrupted data or drive not properly recognized.

Multiple Sector Setting

When selected, this brings up a dialog box that allows you to set the IDE programmed I/O cycles so that multiple sectors are transferred in a single block. This only affects drives connected to the ISA/IDE connector. The options are Disabled, 4 Sectors/Block, 8 Sectors/Block, or Auto Detected. The default is Auto Detected. Check the specifications for your hard disk drive to determine which setting will provide the optimum performance for your drive.

Fast Programmed I/O Modes

When selected, this brings up a dialog box that allows you to set how fast transfers on the PCI IDE interface occur. The options are Disabled or Auto Detected. The default is Auto Detected. If set to Disabled, transfers occur at an un-optimized speed. If set to Auto Detected, transfers occur at the drive's maximum speed.


Boot Options Submenu

Boot Sequence

When selected, this brings up a dialog box that allows you to set the order of drives the system uses to find an operating system to boot from. The following options are available:

C: First, Then A:	The system checks drive C first, followed by drive A.

A: First, Then C:	 	The system checks drive A first, followed by drive C.

(The above selection allows you to boot from a diskette when necessary.)

C: Only 	The system checks drive C and no other drives.

A: Only	The system checks drive A and no other drives.

The default is A: First, Then C:

System Cache

When selected, this brings up a dialog box that allows you to enable or disable both the primary and secondary cache memory. The options are Enabled or Disabled. The default is Enabled.

Boot Speed

When selected, this brings up a dialog box that allows you to set the system's boot speed. The options are Deturbo and Turbo. The default is Turbo. If Turbo is selected, boot-up occurs at full speed. If Deturbo is selected, the board operates at a slower speed (similar to a 25 MHz AT).

Num Lock

When selected, this brings up a dialog box that allows you to set the beginning state of the Num Lock feature on your keyboard. The options are On and Off. The default is Off.

Setup Prompt

When selected, this brings up a dialog box that allows you to turn on the "Press <F1> Key if you want to run Setup" prompt during the power-up sequence. The options are Enabled and Disabled. The default is Enabled.

Hard Disk Pre-Delay

When selected, this brings up a dialog box that allows you to set the hard disk drive pre-delay. The options are Disabled, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 seconds. The default is 3 seconds. When enabled, this option causes the BIOS to wait the specified time before it first accesses the hard drive. If your system contains a hard drive, and you don't see the drive type displayed during boot-up, the hard drive may need more time before it is able to communicate with the controller. Setting a pre-delay will provide additional time for the hard drive to initialize.

Typematic Rate Programming

When selected, this brings up a dialog box that allows you to set the typematic rates. The options are Default and Override. The default is Default. Choosing Override enables Typematic Rate Delay and Typematic Rate.

Typematic Rate Delay

When selected, this brings up a dialog box that allows you to set how long it takes for the key-repeat function to start when you hold down a key on the keyboard. The options are 250, 500, 750, and 1000 millisecond delays. The default is 250. If Typematic Rate Programming is set to Default, this option will not be visible.

Typematic Rate

When selected, this brings up a dialog box that allows you to set the speed at which characters repeat when you hold down a key on the keyboard. The higher the number, the faster the characters repeat. The options are 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 24, and 30 characters per second. The default is 6. If Typematic Rate Programming is set to Default, this option will not be visible.

Video Palette Snoop

When selected, this brings up a dialog box that allows you to control the ability of a PCI graphics card to "snoop" write cycles to an ISA graphics card's color pallet registers. The options are Enabled and Disabled. The default is Disabled. Note: Some video capture or TV tuner add-in boards may require this feature to be enabled. Depending on hardware limitations, this item may not appear.

Latency Timer (PCI Clocks)

When selected, this brings up a dialog box that allows you to control the time and agent on the PCI bus can hold the bus when another agent has requested the bus. The valid numbers are between 0 and 256. The default is 66.

PCI Burst

This enables or disables support for PCI/memory burst mode data transfers. The options are Enabled or Disabled. The default is Enabled. PCI burst mode allows higher throughput of data between the PCI bus and memory. Not all cards are capable of utilizing this enhanced data transfer mode. Some cards may act unpredictably with PCI burst mode enabled. If you are having problems with a PCI add in card, PCI Burst mode should be disabled.

SIMM Type Detection

This reports the type of DRAM installed in each of the two memory banks: Fast Page Mode, Extended Data Out Mode, or None. This is informational only, and there are no options.


Power Management Configuration Submenu

Power Management Configuration enables or disables the Advanced Power Management (APM) support in your system's BIOS.

Hot Key This allows you to enter a hot key that, when pressed while holding down the <Ctrl> and <Alt> keys, will cause the system to enter power managed mode. All alphanumeric keys, punctuation, and spaces are valid.


Plug and Play Configuration Submenu

Configuration Mode

When selected, this brings up a dialog box that allows you to set how the BIOS gets information about ISA cards that do not have plug and play capabilities. The options are Use Setup Utility and Use ICU (ISA Configuration Utility). The default is Use Setup Utility.

If Use ICU is selected, the BIOS will depend on run-time software to ensure that there are no conflicts between ISA boards with plug and play capabilities and those without. None of the rest of the items in this submenu will be visible.

If Use Setup Utility is selected, the BIOS will depend on the following items to avoid conflicts.

ISA Shared Memory Size

When selected, this brings up a dialog box that allows you to set the size of ISA shared memory. The options are Disabled, 16 KB, 32 KB, 48 KB, 64 KB, 80KB, and 96 KB. The default is Disabled. If this is set to Disabled, ISA Shared Memory Base Address, below, will not be visible.

The default is C8000h. This setting may affect the ISA Shared Memory Size item. The value entered in the ISA Shared Memory Size item cannot extend into the E0000h address. For example, if a size of 64K was selected, options D4000h, D8000h, and DC000h will not be available.

Boot With PnP OS

When Enabled is selected, the BIOS will activate only those Plug and Play add-in cards needed to boot the system, then pass control to the operating system to configure any remaining Plug and Play add-in cards. The default is Disabled, but this feature should be set to Enabled for use with Windows 95..

IRQ 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12

When selected, this brings up a dialog box that allows you to set the status of the IRQ. The options are Available and Used By ISA Card. The default is Available. The PCI auto-configuration code looks here to see if these interrupts are available. If an interrupt is available, the PCI auto-configuration code can assign the interrupt to be used by the system. If your system contains an ISA agent that uses one of these interrupts, select Used By ISA Card for that interrupt.

Some of these interrupts may not be displayed if they already have been assigned to other peripherals, such as IRQ 3 and IRQ 4, which are normally used by the serial ports, and IRQ 7 for the parallel port, and IRQ12 for the mouse port.

Note: One IRQ is required for PCI devices. When selecting IRQs for use by ISA the BIOS will not allow you to select all IRQs as used by ISA.

Note: IRQ 14 and IRQ 15 will not show up on the list of available IRQs, even when the on board IDE controllers are disabled. If the on board IDE controllers are not used, these IRQs may be used for ISA cards, even though they do not show up on the menu. These interrupts will not be used by PCI devices other than the IDE controllers, as they must remain available for bootable devices.


Security Screen

This section describes the two access modes that can be set using the options found on the Security screen, and then describes the Security screen options themselves.

Related Topics:

Administrative and User Access Modes

Security Screen Options


Administrative and User Access Modes

The options on the Security screen menu make it possible to restrict access to the Setup program by allowing you to set passwords for two different access modes: Administrative mode and User mode.

In general, Administrative mode has full access to the Setup options, whereas User mode has restricted access to the options. Thus, by setting separate Administrative and User passwords, a system administrator can limit who can change critical Setup values. The actual limitations depend on whether either the Administrative or User passwords or both are set.

If you want to limit access to who can boot the system, you must set the User password. This is the password that the system will ask for before booting. If only the Administrative password is set, the system will boot up without asking for a password. If both passwords are set, you can enter either password to boot the system.

This table shows the effects of setting the Administrative and User passwords. (The table is for reference only, and is not shown on the Security screen.) In the table, the statement "Can change a limited number of options" means you can change the system date and time, the User password, and the security hot key.

Password Set	Administrative mode can:	User mode can:	Pswd Required at Boot
Neither	Change all options*	Change all options*	None
Administrative only	Change all options	Change a limited number of options	None
User only	N/A	Change all options	User
Both	Change all options	Change a limited number of options	Administrative or User
Table G-1. Password Settings

* If no password is set, any user can change all Setup options.


Security Screen Options

User Password is

This reports if there is a User password set. This is informational only, and there are no options.

Administrative Password is

This reports if there is an Administrative password set. This is informational only, and there are no options.

Set User Password

When selected, this brings up a dialog box that allows you to set the User password.

Set Administrative Password

When selected, this brings up a dialog box that allows you to set the Administrative password.

Unattended Start

When selected, this brings up a dialog box that allows you to control when the security password is requested. The options are Enabled and Disabled. The default is Disabled. The User password must be enabled before you can enable this option. If Enabled is selected, the system will boot, but the keyboard will be locked until the User password is entered.

Security Hot Key (CTRL-ALT-)

This allows you to set a hot key that, when pressed, will lock the keyboard until the User password is entered.


Exit Screen

Exit Saving Changes

When selected, this allows you to save the change to CMOS and exit the Setup program. You can also press the <F10> key anywhere in the Setup program to do this.

Exit Discarding Changes

When selected, this allows you to exit the Setup program without saving any changes. This means that any changes made while in the Setup program will be discarded and NOT SAVED. Pressing the <Esc> key in any of the four main screens will do this.

Load Setup Defaults

When selected, this allows you to reset all of the setup options to their defaults. You can also press the <F5> key anywhere in the Setup program to do this. This selection loads the default values from the ROM table.

Discard Changes

When selected, this allows you to discard any changes you made during the current Setup session without exiting the program. You can also press the <F6> key anywhere in the Setup program to do this. This selection loads the CMOS values that were present when the system was turned on.


Appendix H BIOS Recovery

The Advanced/ZP incorporates the AMIBIOS in a Flash memory component. Flash BIOS allows easy upgrades without the need to replace an EPROM. The upgrade utility fits on a floppy diskette and provides the capability to save, verify, and update the system BIOS. The upgrade utility also provides the capability to install alternate languages for BIOS messages and the SETUP utility. The upgrade utility can be run from a hard drive or a network drive, but no memory managers can be installed during upgrades.

Related Topics:

Using the upgrade utility

Recovery mode


Using the upgrade utility

If the utility is obtained from the bulletin board, UNZIP the archive and copy the files to a bootable MS-DOS 3.3, 4.01, 5.0, or 6.x diskette. Reboot the system with the upgrade diskette in the bootable floppy drive and follow the directions in the easy to use menu-driven program.


Recovery mode

In the unlikely event that a FLASH upgrade is interrupted catastrophically, it is possible the BIOS may be left in an unusable state. Recovering from this condition requires the following steps (be sure a power supply and speaker have been attached to the board, and a floppy drive is connected as drive A:):

1.	Change Flash Recovery jumper to the recovery mode position.
2.	Install the bootable upgrade diskette into drive A:
3.	Reboot the system.
4.	Because of the small amount of code available in the non-erasable boot block area, no video is available to direct the procedure. The procedure can be monitored by listening to the speaker and looking at the floppy drive LED. When the system beeps and the floppy drive LED is lit, the system is copying the recovery code into the FLASH device. As soon as the drive LED goes off, the recovery is complete.
5.	Turn the system off.
6.	Change the Flash Recovery jumper back to the default position.
7.	Leave the upgrade floppy in drive A: and turn the system on.
8.	Continue with the original upgrade.


Appendix I Error Messages & Beep Codes

Errors can occur during POST (Power On Self Test) which is performed every time the system is powered on. Fatal errors, which prevent the system to continue the boot process, are communicated through a series of audible beeps. Other errors are displayed in the following format:

ERROR Message Line 1

ERROR Message Line 2

For most displayed error messages, there is only one message. If a second message appears, it is "RUN SETUP". If this message occurs, press <F1> to run AMIBIOS Setup.
