0.6 Static electricity precautions Before removing the board from its anti-static bag, read this section about static electricity precautions. Static electricity is a constant danger to computer systems. The charge that can build up in your body may be more than sufficient to damage integrated circuits on any PC board. It is, therefore, important to observe basic precautions whenever you use or handle computer components. Although areas with humid climates are much less prone to static build-up, it is always best to safeguard against accidents that may result in expensive repairs. The following measures should be sufficient to protect your equipment from static discharge: Touch a grounded metal object to discharge the static electricity in your body (or ideally, wear a grounded wrist strap). When unpacking and handling the board or other system components, place all materials on an anti-static surface. Be careful not to touch the components on the board, especially the “golden finger” connectors on the bottom of the board.

2.2 System Setting Jumper pins allow you to set specific system parameters. Set them by changing the pin location of the jumper blocks. (A jumper block is a small plastic-encased conductor that slips over the pins.) To change a jumper setting, remove the jumper from its current location with your fingers or small needle-nosed pliers. Place the jumper over the two pins designated for the desired setting. Press the jumper evenly onto the pins. Be careful not to bend the pins. We will show the locations of the AR-B1668 jumper pins, and the factory-default settings. CAUTION: Do not touch any electronic components unless you are safely grounded. Wear a grounded wrist strap or touch an exposed metal part of the system unit chassis. The static discharges from your fingers can permanently damage electronic components. 2.2.1 Keyboard & Mouse Connector (KB1) The KB1 is a 6-pin pin header keyboard & Mouse connector. This keyboard & Mouse connector is PS/2 type connector. This connector is also for a standard IBM-compatible keyboard when used with the included PS/2 keyboard & Mouse adapter cable.

3 WATCHDOG TIMER This section describes the use of Watchdog Timer, including disable, enable, and trigger. AR-B1668 is equipped with a programmable time-out period watchdog timer that occupies I/O port 443H. Users can use simple program to enable the watchdog timer. Once you enable the watchdog timer, the program should trigger it every time before it times out. Watchdog Timer will generate a response (system or IRQ) due to system fails to trigger or disable watchdog timer before preset timer, times out.
4.1 WATCHDOG Timer Setting The watchdog timer is a circuit that maybe be used from your program software to detect crash or hang up. The Watchdog timer is automatically disabled after reset. Once you enabled the watchdog timer, your program should trigger the watchdog timer every time before it times out. After you trigger the watchdog timer, the timer will be set to zero and start to count again. If your program fails to trigger the watchdog timer before times out, it will generate a reset pulse to reset the system or trigger the IRQ 9 AR-B1668 VIA MARK 800 Processor with VGA(CRT/LCD), SDRAM PC133, 4 LAN, Compact Flash

AR-B1668 User’s Guide signal in order to tell your system that the watchdog time is out. Please refer to the following table in order to properly program Watchdog function
Users could test watchdog function under ‘Debug’ program as follows:
4.2 WATCHDOG Timer Trigger After you enable the watchdog timer, your program must write the same factor as triggering to the watchdog timer at least once during every timeout period. You can change the time-out period by writing another timer factor to the watchdog register at any time, and you must trigger the watchdog during every new time-out period in next trigger.

3 Award BIOS Setup 3.1 Introduction This chapter discusses the Setup program built into the BIOS. The Setup program allows users to configure the system. This configuration is then stored in battery-backed CMOS RAM so that it retains the Setup information while the power is off.
3.2 Starting Setup The BIOS is immediately active when you turn on the computer. While the BIOS is in control, the Setup program can be activated in one of two ways: 1. By pressing
immediately after switching the system on, or 2. By pressing the key when the following message appears briefly at the bottom of the screen during the POST (Power On SelfTest). 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 , , and 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
