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

1. Getting Started  
1.1 Safety Precautions  
Warning!  
Always completely disconnect the power cord from your  
chassis whenever you work with the hardware. Do not  
make connections while the power is on. Sensitive  
electronic components can be damaged by sudden power  
surges. Only experienced electronics personnel should  
open the PC chassis.  
Caution!  
Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before  
touching the CPU card. Modern electronic devices are very  
sensitive to static electric charges. As a safety precaution,  
use a grounding wrist strap at all times. Place all electronic  
components in a static-dissipative surface or static-shielded  
bag when they are not in the chassis.

1.4 Manual Objectives  
This manual describes in detail the Avalue Technology ECM-5510 Single Board.  
We have tried to include as much information as possible but we have not duplicated  
information that is provided in the standard IBM Technical References, unless it proved to  
be necessary to aid in the understanding of this board.  
We strongly recommend that you study this manual carefully before attempting to interface  
with ECM-5510 series or change the standard configurations. Whilst all the necessary  
information is available in this manual we would recommend that unless you are confident,  
you contact your supplier for guidance.  
Please be aware that it is possible to create configurations within the CMOS RAM that  
make booting impossible. If this should happen, clear the CMOS settings, (see the  
description of the Jumper Settings for details).  
If you have any suggestions or find any errors concerning this manual and want to inform  
us of these, please contact our Customer Service department with the relevant details.

VIA VT1612A Audio Codec  
VIA Technologies’ VT1612ATM 18-bit audio codec conforms to the AC’97 2.2. The  
VT1612A integrates Sample Rate Converters and can be adjusted in 1Hz increments. The  
analog mixer circuitry integrates a stereo enhancement to provide a pleasing 3D surround  
sound effect for stereo media.  
Furthermore, an integrated headphone amplifier with thermal shutdown adds signal value  
by reducing the BOM. This codec is designed with aggressive power management to  
achieve low power consumption. When used with 3.3V analog supply, power consumption  
is further reduced. The primary applications for this part are desktop and portable personal  
computers multimedia subsystems.

NS DS90C385 LVDS Transmitter  
The DS90C385 transmitter converts 28 bits of LVCMOS/LVTTL data into four LVDS (Low  
Voltage Differential Signaling) data streams. A phase-locked transmit clock is transmitted in  
parallel with the data streams over a fifth LVDS link. Every cycle of the transmit clock 28  
bits of input data are sampled and transmitted. At a transmit clock frequency of 85 MHz, 24  
bits of RGB data and 3 bits of LCD timing and control data (FPLINE, FPFRAME, DRDY)  
are transmitted at a rate of 595 Mbps per LVDS data channel. Using a 85 MHz clock, the  
data throughput is 297.5 Mbytes/sec. Also available is the DS90C365 that converts 21 bits  
of LVCMOS/LVTTL data into three LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signaling) data streams.  
Both transmitters can be programmed for Rising edge strobe or Falling edge strobe through  
a dedicated pin. A Rising edge or Falling edge strobe transmitter will interoperate with a  
Falling edge strobe Receiver (DS90CF386/DS90CF366) without any translation logic.

• Locate the DIMM slot on the board.  
• Hold two edges of the DIMM module carefully. Keep away of touching its connectors.  
• Align the notch key on the module with the rib on the slot.  
• Firmly press the modules into the slot automatically snaps into the mounting notch. Do  
not force the DIMM module in with extra force as the DIMM module only fit in one  
direction.  
• To remove the DIMM modules, push the two ejector tabs on the slot outward  
simultaneously, and then pull out the DIMM module.  
Note: (1) Please do not change any DDR SDRAM parameter in BIOS setup to  
increase your system’s performance without acquiring technical  
information in advance.  
(2) Static electricity can damage the electronic components of the computer  
or optional boards. Before starting these procedures, ensure that you  
are discharged of static electricity by touching a grounded metal object  
briefly.

2.3 Jumper and Connector List  
You can configure your board to match the needs of your application by setting jumpers. A  
jumper is the simplest kind of electric switch.  
It consists of two metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected by a plastic cover) that  
slides over the pins to connect them. To “close” a jumper you connect the pins with the clip.  
To “open” a jumper you remove the clip. Sometimes a jumper will have three pins, labeled 1,  
2, and 3. In this case, you would connect either two pins.  
The jumper settings are schematically depicted in this manual as follows:  
A pair of needle-nose pliers may be helpful when working with jumpers.  
Connectors on the board are linked to external devices such as hard disk drives, a  
keyboard, or floppy drives. In addition, the board has a number of jumpers that allow you to  
configure your system to suit your application.  
If you have any doubts about the best hardware configuration for your application, contact  
your local distributor or sales representative before you make any changes.  
The following tables list the function of each of the board's jumpers and connectors.

2.4.18.1 Signal Description – Serial Port 2 Connector in RS-485 Mode (CN6, Pin  
11-20)  
Signal  
Signal Description  
This differential signal pair sends and receives serial data to the communication  
link. The mode of this differential signal pair is controlled through the RTS  
register of Serial Port 2. Set the RTS register of the Serial Port 2 to LOW for  
transmitting, HIGH for receiving.  
DATA+/-  
Do not select a mode different from the one used by the connected peripheral,  
as this may damage CPU board and/or peripheral.  
The transmitter drivers in the port are short circuit protected by a thermal  
protection circuit. The circuit disables the drivers when the die temperature  
reaches 150 °C.  
RS-422 mode is typically used in point to point communication. Data and  
control signal pairs should be terminated in the receiver end with a resistor  
matching the cable impedance (typical 100-120 Ω). The resistors could be  
placed in the connector housing.  
RS-485 mode is typically used in multi drop applications, where more than 2  
units are communicating. The data and control signal pairs should be  
terminated in each end of the communication line with a resistor matching the  
cable impedance (typical 100-120 Ω). Stubs to substations should be  
avoided.

2.4.19.1.1Address  
Signal  
Signal Description  
The address signals LA [23:17] define the selection of a 128KB section of memory  
space within the 16MB address range of the 16-bit data bus. These signals are  
active high. The validity of the MEMCS16# depends on these signals only. These  
address lines are presented to the system with tri-state drivers. The permanent  
master drives these lines except when an alternate master cycle occurs; in this  
case, the temporary master drives these lines. The LA signals are not defined for  
I/O accesses.  
LA [17:23]  
System address. Address lines for the first one Megabyte of memory. SA [9:0]  
used for I/O addresses. SA0 is the least significant bit  
SA [0:19]  
SBHE#  
This signal is an active low signal, that indicates that a byte is being transferred on  
the upper byte (SD [15:8]) of the 16 bit bus. All bus masters will drive this line with  
a tri-state driver.  
2.4.19.1.2Data  
Signal

2.4.19.1.3Commands  
Signal  
Signal Description  
This is an active high signal used to latch valid addresses from the current bus  
master on the falling edge of BALE. During DMA, refresh and alternate master  
cycles, BALE is forced high for the duration of the transfer. BALE is driven by the  
permanent master with a totem-pole driver.  
BALE  
IOR#  
This is an active low signal driven by the current master to indicate an I/O read  
operation. I/O mapped devices using this strobe for selection should decode  
addresses SA [15:0] and AEN. Additionally, DMA devices will use IOR# in  
conjunction with DACKn# to decode a DMA transfer from the I/O device. The  
current bus master will drive this line with a tri-state driver.  
This is an active low signal driven by the current master to indicate an I/O write  
operation. I/O mapped devices using this strobe for selection should decode  
addresses SA [15:0] and AEN. Additionally, DMA devices will use IOR# in  
conjunction with DACKn# to decode a DMA transfer from the I/O device. The  
current bus master will drive this line with a tri-state driver.  
IOW#  
This is an active low signal driven by the permanent master to indicate a memory  
read operation in the first 1MB of system memory. Memory mapped devices using  
this strobe should decode addresses SA [19:0] only. If an alternate master drives  
MEMR#, the permanent master will drive SMEMR# delayed by internal logic. The  
permanent master ties this line to VCC through a pull-up resistor to ensure that it is  
inactive during the exchange of bus masters.  
SMEMR#  
This is an active low signal driven by the permanent master to indicate a memory  
write operation in the first 1MB of system memory. Memory mapped devices using  
this strobe should decode addresses SA [19:0] only. If an alternate master drives  
MEMR#, the permanent master will drive SMEMR# delayed by internal logic. The  
permanent master ties this line to VCC through a pull-up resistor to ensure that it is  
inactive during the exchange of bus masters.  
SMEMW#  
This is an active low signal driven by the current master to indicate a memory read  
operation. Memory mapped devices using this strobe should decode addresses  
LA [23:17] and SA [19:0]. All bus masters will drive this line with a tri-state driver.  
The permanent master ties this line to VCC through a pull-up resistor to ensure  
that it is inactive during the exchange of bus masters.  
MEMR#  
MEMW#  
This is an active low signal driven by the current master to indicate a memory write  
operation. Memory mapped devices using this strobe should decode addresses  
LA [23:17] and SA [19:0]. All bus masters will drive this line with a tri-state driver.

2.4.19.1.4Transfer Response  
Signal  
Signal Description  
This is an active low signal driven by an I/O-mapped PC-AT/PC104 adapter  
indicating that the I/O device located at the address is a 16-bit device. This open  
collector signal is driven, based on SA [15:0] only (not IOR# and IOW#) when AEN  
is not asserted.  
IOCS16#  
MEMCS16#  
OWS#  
This is an active low signal driven by a memory mapped PC-AT/PC104 adapter  
indicating that the memory device located at the address is a 16-bit device. This  
open collector signal is driven, based on LA [23:17] only.  
This signal is an active low open-collector signal asserted by a 16-bit memory  
mapped device that may cause an early termination of the current transfer. It  
should be gated with MEMR# or MEMW# and is not valid during DMA transfers.  
IOCHRDY precedes 0WS#.  
This is an active high signal driven inactive by the target of either a memory or an  
I/O operation to extend the current cycle. This open collector signal is driven based  
on the system address and the appropriate control strobe. IOCHRDY precedes  
0WS#.  
IOCHRDY  
IOCHCK#  
This is an active low signal driven active by a PC-AT/PC104 adapter detecting a  
fatal error during bus operation. When this open collector signal is driven low it will  
typically cause a non-maskable interrupt.  
2.4.19.1.5Control  
Signal  
Signal Description  
This clock signal may vary in frequency from 2.5 MHz to 25.0 MHz depending on  
the setup made in the BIOS. Frequencies above 16 MHz are not recommended.  
The standard states 6 MHz to 8.33 MHz, but most new adapters are able to handle  
higher frequencies. The PC-AT/PC104 bus timing is based on this clock signal.  
This is a clock signal with a 14.31818 MHz ± 50 ppm frequency and a 50 ± 5%  
duty cycle. The signal is driven by the permanent master.  
SYSCLK  
OSC  
This active high signal indicates that the adapter should be brought to an initial  
reset condition. This signal will be asserted by the permanent master on the bus  
for at least 100 ms at power-up or watchdog time-out to ensure that adapters in the  
system are properly reset. When active, all adapters should turn off or tri-state all  
drivers connected to the bus.

2.4.19.1.6Interrupts  
Signal  
Signal Description  
These signals are active high signals, which indicate the presence of an  
interrupting PC-AT/PC104 bus adapter. Due to the use of pull-ups, unused  
interrupt inputs must be masked.  
IRQ[3:7], IRQ[9:12]  
IRQ[14:15]  
2.4.19.1.7Bus Arbitration  
Signal  
Signal Description  
These signals are active high signals driven by a DMA bus adapter to indicate a  
request for a DMA bus operation. DRQ [0:3] request 8 bit DMA operations, while  
DRQ [5:7] request 16 bit operations. All bus DMA adapters will drive these lines  
with a tri-state driver. The permanent master monitors these signals to determine  
which of the DMA devices, if any, are requesting the bus.  
DRQ[0:3], DRQ[5:7]  
These signals are active low signals driven by the permanent master to indicate  
that a DMA operation can begin. They are continuously driven by a totem pole  
driver for DMA channels attached.  
DACK[0:3]#,  
DACK[5:7]#  
This signal is an active high totem pole signal driven by the permanent master to  
indicate that the address lines are driven by the DMA controller. The assertion of  
AEN disables response to I/O port addresses when I/O command strobes are  
asserted. AEN being asserted, only the device with active DACKn# should  
respond.  
AEN  
This is an active low signal driven by the current master to indicate a memory  
refresh operation. The current master will drive this line with a tri-state driver.  
This active high signal is asserted during a read or write command indicating that  
the DMA controller has reached a terminal count for the current transfer. DACKn#  
must be presented by the bus adapter to validate the TC signal.

User’s Manual  
3.1 Starting Setup  
The AwardBIOS™ is immediately activated when you first power on the computer. The  
BIOS reads the system information contained in the CMOS and begins the process of  
checking out the system and configuring it. When it finishes, the BIOS will seek an  
operating system on one of the disks and then launch and turn control over to the operating  
system.  
While the BIOS is in control, the Setup program can be activated in one of two ways:  
By pressing <Del> immediately after switching the system on, or  
By pressing the <Del> key when the following message appears briefly at the bottom of the  
screen during the POST (Power On Self Test).  
Press DEL to enter SETUP  
If the message disappears before you respond and you still wish to enter Setup, restart the  
system to try again by turning it OFF then ON or pressing the "RESET" button on the  
system case. You may also restart by simultaneously pressing <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and <Delete>  
keys. If you do not press the keys at the correct time and the system does not boot, an error  
message will be displayed and you will again be asked to.  
Press F1 to Continue, DEL to enter SETUP

Press F1 to pop up a small help window that describes the appropriate keys to use and the  
possible selections for the highlighted item. To exit the Help Window press <Esc> or the F1  
key again.  
3.4 In Case of Problems  
If, after making and saving system changes with Setup, you discover that your computer no  
longer is able to boot, the AwardBIOS™ supports an override to the CMOS settings which  
resets your system to its defaults.  
The best advice is to only alter settings which you thoroughly understand. To this end, we  
strongly recommend that you avoid making any changes to the chipset defaults. These  
defaults have been carefully chosen by both Award and your systems manufacturer to  
provide the absolute maximum performance and reliability. Even a seemingly small change  
to the chipset setup has the potential for causing you to use the override.

Advanced Chipset Features  
This section allows you to configure the system based on the specific features of the  
installed chipset. This chipset manages bus speeds and access to system memory  
resources, such as DRAM and the external cache. It also coordinates communications  
between the conventional ISA bus and the PCI bus. It must be stated that these items  
should never need to be altered. The default settings have been chosen because they  
provide the best operating conditions for your system. The only time you might consider  
making any changes would be if you discovered that data was being lost while using your  
system.  
The first chipset settings deal with CPU access to dynamic random access memory  
(DRAM). The default timings have been carefully chosen and should only be altered if data  
is being lost. Such a scenario might well occur if your system had mixed speed DRAM  
chips installed so that greater delays may be required to preserve the integrity of the data  
held in the slower memory chips.

energy while operating in a manner consistent with your own style of computer use.  
3.5.5.1 Power Management  
This category allows you to select the type (or degree) of power saving.  
The choices: Disabled, Legacy, APM, ACPI.  
3.5.5.2 MODEM Use IRQ  
This determines the IRQ in which the MODEM can use.  
The choices: NA, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11.  
3.5.5.3 Power On By Alarm  
This determines whether the system boot up if there’s an incoming call from the Modem.

3.5.5.4 IRQ Wakeup Events  
The VGA, LPT & COM, HDD & FDD, and PCI master are I/O events which can prevent the  
system from entering a power saving mode or can awaken the system from such a mode.  
When an I/O device wants to gain the attenetion of the operating system, it signals this by  
causing an IRQ to occur. When the operating system is ready to respond to the request, it  
interrupts itself and performs the service.

PnP / PCI Configuration  
This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. PCI, or Personal Computer  
Interconnect, is a system which allows I/O devices to operate at speeds nearing the speed  
the CPU itself uses when communicating with its own special components. This section  
covers some very technical items and it is strongly recommended that only experienced  
users should make any changes to the default settings.  
3.5.6.1 PNP OS Installed  
The operation system environment is Plug-and-Play aware sets “YES”  
The choices: Yes, No.  
3.5.6.2 Init Display First  
This item allows you to decide to active whether PCI Slot or AGP first.  
The choices: PCI Slot, Onboard.  
3.5.6.3 Reset Configuration Data  
Normally, you leave this field Disabled. Select Enabled to reset Extended System  
Configuration Data (ESCD) when you exit Setup if you have installed a new add-on and the  
system reconfiguration has caused such a serious conflict that the operating system cannot  
boot.  
The choices: Enabled, Disabled.  
3.5.6.4 Resources Controlled By  
The Award Plug and Play BIOS has the capacity to automatically configure all of the boot  
and Plug and Play compatible devices. However, this capability means absolutely nothing  
unless you are using a Plug and Play operating system such as Windows®95. If you set  
this field to “manual” choose specific resources by going into each of the sub menu that  
follows this field (a sub menu is preceded by a “¾”).  
The choices: Auto(ESCD), Manual.

PASSWORD DISABLED.  
When a password has been enabled, you will be prompted to enter it every time you try to  
enter Setup. This prevents an unauthorized person from changing any part of your system  
configuration. Additionally, when a password is enabled, you can also require the BIOS to  
request a password every time your system is rebooted. This would prevent unauthorized  
use of your computer. You determine when the password is required within the BIOS  
Features Setup Menu and its Security option (see Section 3). If the Security option is set to  
“System”, the password will be required both at boot and at entry to Setup. If set to “Setup”,  
prompting only occurs when trying to enter Setup

AWARD BIOS POST  
Messages  
96 ECM-5510 User’s Manual  
User’s Manual  
Overview  
During the Power On Self-Test (POST), if the BIOS detects an error requiring you to do  
something to fix, it will either sound a beep code or display a message.  
If a message is displayed, it will be accompanied by:  
PRESS F1 TO CONTINUE OR PRESS DEL TO ENTER SETUP  
Post Beep  
Currently there are two kinds of beep codes in BIOS. This code indicates that a video error  
has occurred and the BIOS cannot initialize the video screen to display any additional  
information. This beep code consists of a single long beep followed by two short beeps.  
The other code indicates that your DRAM error has occurred. This beep code consists of a  
single long beep repeatedly.  
Error Messages  
The following messages are examples of messages including errors detected by the BIOS  
during POST and a description of what they mean and/or what you may do to correct the  
error.  
1. CMOS BATTERY HAS FAILED  
CMOS battery is no longer functional. It should be replaced.  
2. CMOS CHECKSUM ERROR  
Checksum of CMOS is incorrect. This can indicate that CMOS has become corrupt. This  
error may have been caused by a weak battery. Check the battery and replace if  
necessary.  
3. DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER  
No boot device was found. This could mean that either a boot drive was not detected or the  
drive does not contain proper system boot files. Insert a system disk into Drive A: and  
press <Enter>. If you assumed the system would boot from the hard drive, make sure the  
controller is inserted correctly and all cables are properly attached. Also be sure the disk  
is formatted as a boot device. Then reboot the system.  
4. DISKETTE DRIVES OR TYPES MISMATCH ERROR - RUN SETUP  
Type of diskette drive installed in the system is different from the CMOS definition. Run  
Setup to reconfigure the drive type correctly.  
ECM-5510 User’s Manual 97  
ECM-5510  
5. DISPLAY SWITCH IS SET INCORRECTLY  
Display switch on the motherboard can be set to either monochrome or color. This indicates  
the switch is set to a different setting than indicated in Setup. Determine which setting is  
correct, and then either turn off the system and change the jumper, or enter Setup and  
change the VIDEO selection.  
6. DISPLAY TYPE HAS CHANGED SINCE LAST BOOT  
Since last powering off the system, the display adapter has been changed. You must  
configure the system for the new display type.  
7. EISA Configuration Checksum Error  
PLEASE RUN EISA CONFIGURATION UTILITY  
The EISA non-volatile RAM checksum is incorrect or cannot correctly read the EISA slot.  
This can indicate either the EISA non-volatile memory has become corrupt or the slot has  
been configured incorrectly. Also be sure the card is installed firmly in the slot.  
8. EISA Configuration Is Not Complete  
PLEASE RUN EISA CONFIGURATION UTILITY  
The slot configuration information stored in the EISA non-volatile memory is incomplete.  
Note: When either of these errors appears, the system will boot in ISA mode,  
which allows you to run the EISA Configuration Utility.  
9. ERROR ENCOUNTERED INITIALIZING HARD DRIVE  
Hard drive cannot be initialized. Be sure the adapter is installed correctly and all cables are  
correctly and firmly attached. Also be sure the correct hard drive type is selected in Setup.  
10. ERROR INITIALIZING HARD DISK CONTROLLER  
Cannot initialize controller. Make sure the cord is correctly and firmly installed in the bus.  
Be sure the correct hard drive type is selected in Setup. Also check to see if any jumper  
needs to be set correctly on the hard drive.  
11. FLOPPY DISK CNTRLR ERROR OR NO CNTRLR PRESENT  
Cannot find or initialize the floppy drive controller. Make sure the controller is installed  
correctly and firmly. If there are no floppy drives installed, be sure the Diskette Drive  
selection in Setup is set to NONE.  
98 ECM-5510 User’s Manual  
User’s Manual  
12. Invalid EISA Configuration  
PLEASE RUN EISA CONFIGURATION UTILITY  
The non-volatile memory containing EISA configuration information was programmed  
incorrectly or has become corrupt. Re-run EISA configuration utility to correctly program the  
memory.  
Note: When either of these errors appears, the system will boot in ISA mode,  
which allows you to run the EISA Configuration Utility.  
13. KEYBOARD ERROR OR NO KEYBOARD PRESENT  
Cannot initialize the keyboard. Make sure the keyboard is attached correctly and no keys  
are being pressed during the boot.  
If you are purposely configuring the system without a keyboard, set the error halt condition  
in Setup to HALT ON ALL, BUT KEYBOARD. This will cause the BIOS to ignore the  
missing keyboard and continue the boot.  
14. Memory Address Error at ...  
Indicates a memory address error at a specific location. You can use this location along  
with the memory map for your system to find and replace the bad memory chips.  
15. Memory parity Error at ...
