6. Watch-Dog-Timer (WDT) Setting  
6. Watch-Dog-Timer (WDT) Setting  
Introduction  
The watchdog timer serves as a safeguard against possible system lock-up in your industrial computer  
system. In most industrial environments, there are heavy equipment, generators, high-voltage power  
lines, or power drops that have adverse effects on your computer system. For instance, when a power  
drop occurs, it could cause the CPU to come to a halt state or enter into an infinite loop, resulting in a  
system lock-up.  
With the watchdog timer enabled, a RESET can be automatically generated unless the CPU periodically  
triggers the timer within the time-out interval. That is, while the system gets hung up, the running  
program can’t trigger the timer periodically. The timer will generate a reset signal to reboot the system.  
This feature allows a running program to restart in an orderly way when a power glitch or any abnormal  
condition occurs.  
The watchdog timer comes with 255-level time-out interval, 1 - 255 seconds per interval, which can be  
adjusted by software setting. There is a tolerance of 2 second for this time-out interval. For example, if  
the time-out interval has been set to 32 seconds, your program should trigger the watchdog timer before  
28 seconds are escaped. Otherwise, after 28-32 seconds are escaped, the system will automatically  
reboot. To keep the system running normally, your program should trigger the watchdog timer every 28  
seconds.  
The I/O port is defined at address 2e/2fH. You can trigger/enable disable the timer by writing  
port2e/2fH.  
Here is an example for flow chart and programming how to use the watch-dog-timer.

8. BIOS Setup  
8. BIOS Setup  
Introduction  
This chapter discusses Award’s Setup program built into the FLASH ROM BIOS. The Setup program  
allows users to modify the basic system configuration. This special information is then stored in  
battery-backed RAM so that it retains the Setup information when the power is turned off.  
The rest of this chapter is intended to guide you through the process of configuring your system using  
Setup.  
Starting Setup  
The Award BIOS 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:  
1
2
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

Getting Help  
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.  
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.  
A Final Note About Setup  
The information in this chapter is subject to change without notice.

DRAM RAS# to CAS# delay  
This field lets you insert a timing delay between the CAS  
and RAS strobe signals, used when DRAM is written to,  
read from, or refreshed. Fast gives faster performance; and  
Slow gives more stable performance. This field applies only  
when synchronous DRAM is installed in the system.  
DRAM RAS# Precharge  
The precharge time is the number of cycles it takes for the  
RAS to accumulate its charge before DRAM refresh. If  
insufficient time is allowed, refresh may be incomplete and  
the DRAM may fail to retain data.  
Precharge delay (tRAS)  
This item controls the number of DRAM clocks to activate  
the precharge delay. The default setting for the DRAM

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.

8. BIOS Setup  
Exit Selecting  
Load Fail-Safe Defaults  
Save & Exit Setup  
Pressing <Enter> on this item asks for confirmation:  
Save to CMOS and EXIT (Y/N)? Y  
Pressing “Y” stores the selections made in the menus in CMOS – a special section of memory that stays  
on after you turn your system off. The next time you boot your computer, the BIOS configures your  
system according to the Setup selections stored in CMOS. After saving the values the system is  
restarted again.  
Exit Without Saving  
Pressing <Enter> on this item asks for confirmation:  
Quit without saving (Y/N)? Y  
This allows you to exit Setup without storing in CMOS any change. The previous selections remain in  
effect. This exits the Setup utility and restarts your computer.  
POST Messages  
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, CTRL-ALT-ESC OR 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  
One or more of the following messages may be displayed if the BIOS detects an error during the POST.  
This list includes messages for both the ISA and the EISA BIOS.  
CMOS battery has failed  
CMOS battery is no longer functional. It should be replaced.  
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.

RUN SETUP  
Type of diskette drive installed in the system is different from the CMOS definition. Run Setup to  
reconfigure the drive type correctly.  
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.  
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.  
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 in-stalled firmly in the slot.  
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 appear, the system will boot in ISA mode,  
which allows you to run the EISA Configuration Utility.  
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.  
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.

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.  
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 this error appears, the system will boot in ISA mode, which allows you to  
run the EISA Configuration Utility.  
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.  
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.  
Memory parity error at …
