The onboard COM2 port can be configured to operate in RS-422 or RS-485
modes. RS-422 modes differ in the way RX/TX is being handled. Jumper
JRS1 switches between RS-232 or RS-422/485 mode. When JRS1 is set to
RS-422 or 485 mode, there will be only +12V output left while JRS1 is set. All

3.1 BIOS Introduction
The Award BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) installed in your computer
system's. The BIOS provides for a standard device such as disk drives, serial
ports and parallel ports. It also adds password protection as well as special
support for detailed fine-tuning of the chipset controlling the entire system.
3.2 BIOS Setup
The Award BIOS provides a Setup utility program for specifying the system
configurations and settings. The BIOS ROM of the system stores the Setup
utility. When you turn on the computer, the Award BIOS is immediately
activated. Pressing the <Del> key immediately allows you to enter the Setup
utility. If you a little bit late press the <Del> key, POST (Power On Self Test)
will continue with its test routines, thus preventing you from invoking the
Setup. If you still wish to enter Setup, restart the system by pressing the
"Reset" button or simultaneously pressing the <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Delete>
keys. You can also restart by turning the system Off and back On again. The
following message will appear on the screen:
Press <DEL> to Enter Setup
In general, you press the arrow keys to highlight items, <Enter> to select, the
<PgUp> and <PgDn> keys to change entries, <F1> for help and <Esc> to
quit. When you enter the Setup utility, the Main Menu screen will appear on
the screen. The Main Menu allows you to select from various setup functions
and exit choices.

3.3 Standard CMOS Features
"Standard CMOS Features" allows you to record some basic hardware
configurations in your computer system and set the system clock and error
handling. If the CPU card is already installed in a working system, you will
not need to select this option. You will need to run the Standard CMOS
option, however, if you change your system hardware configurations, such
as onboard battery fails, or the configuration stored in the CMOS memory
was lost or damaged.
Date
The date format is: Day : Sun to Sat
Month : 1 to 12
Date : 1 to 31
Year : 1999 to 2099
Time
The time format is: Hour : 00 to 23
Minute : 00 to 59
Second : 00 to 59
To set the date & time, highlight the "Date" & "Time" and use the <PgUp>/
<PgDn> or +/- keys to set the current time.

IDE Primary HDDs / IDE Secondary HDDs
The onboard PCI IDE connectors provide Primary and Secondary channels
for connecting up to four IDE hard disks or other IDE devices.
Each channel can support up to two hard disks; the first is the "Master" and
the second is the "Slave".
Press <Enter> to configure the hard disk. The selections include Auto,
