3.5 Configuring the CPU  
The HS-2608 v2.0 embedded with a ULV Intel® Celeron® processor  
400MHz/650MHz. User don’t need to adjust the frequently and check  
speed of Intel® processor.  
3.6 System Memory  
The HS-2608 v2.0 provides one SO-DIMM socket at locations DM1.  
The maximum capacity of the onboard memory is 512MB.  
3.7 DiskOnChipAddress Setting  
The DiskOnChipfunction allows the system to boot or operate  
without a FDD or a HDD. DiskOnChipmodules may be formatted as  
drive C or A. With DiskOnChip, user may also execute DOS  
commands such as FORMAT, SYS, COPY, XCOPY, DISCOPY and  
DISKCOMP etc.  
The U1 location on the HS-2608 v2.0 is the DiskOnChipmodule  
socket. Jumper JP4(1-4) assigns the starting memory address of the  
installed module. If you have another memory device that has a similar  
memory capacity with that of the DOC in your system, please set both  
at different memory address mapping to avoid the mapping area  
conflicts. Failing to do so will not make the HS-2608 v2.0 and the  
additional memory device function properly.

3.7.1 Installing DiskOnChipModules  
When installing a DiskOnChipmodule onto your board, please take  
note of the following:  
1. Orient yourself properly with the location of the DiskOnChip  
socket. Try to locate the pin 1 location on your socket. Pin  
numbers are usually printed on either the component side or the  
solder side of your board.  
10  
2. Locate the Pin 1 location on your DiskOnChipmodule. More  
often than not, Pin 1 can be found on the lower left corner of the  
chip. Please refer to the diagram for the exact location.  
3. Once you have figured out where the pin 1 locations are on both  
chip and socket, align the module’s pins on an upright angle  
against the socket. Using both thumbs, gently press the module  
into the socket until all the pins are secured to their  
designations.

for use.  
NOTE: If you encounter difficulty installing your DiskOnChipmodule,  
please consult a qualified technician or engineer to perform the  
installation.  
3.7.2 Removing DiskOnChipModules  
When removing a DiskOnChipmodule from its socket, please take  
note of the following:  
1. Loosen the contact of the module from its socket using a  
screwdriver.  
2. Insert the screwdriver’s flat head into a gap on either end of the  
socket. Do not insert the screwdriver head on either side where  
the pins are located. Doing so might damage the pins in the  
process.  
3. Slowly lift the screwdriver handle upwards. This will disengage  
the module from its socket.  
NOTE: If you encounter difficulty removing your DiskOnChipmodule,  
please consult a qualified technician or engineer to remove it for  
you.

3.19 Watchdog Timer  
There are three access cycles of Watch-Dog Timer as Enable, Refresh  
and Disable. The Enable cycle proceeds via READ PORT 443H  
whereas the Disable cycle proceeds via READ PORT 045H. A  
continued Enable cycle after a first Enable cycle means Refresh.  
Once the Enable cycle is active, a Refresh cycle is requested before  
the time-out period. This restarts counting of the WDT period. When  
the time counting goes over the preset period of WDT, it will assume  
that the program operation is abnormal. A System Reset signal to  
re-start or a NMI cycle to the CPU transpires when such error happens.  
Jumper JP1 is used to select the function of Watchdog Timer.

The Watchdog Timer is disabled after the system Power-On. It can be  
enabled via an Enable cycle and reading the control port (443H), or via  
a Refresh cycle and reading the control port (443H), or via a Disable  
cycle and reading the disable control port (045H).  
After an Enable cycle of WDT, user must immediately execute a  
Refresh cycle to WDT before its period setting comes to an end every  
1, 2, 10, 20, 110 or 220 seconds. If the Refresh cycle does not activate  
before WDT period cycle, the onboard WDT architecture will issue a  
Reset or NMI cycle to the system. There are three I/O ports that control  
the Watchdog Timer.

AMI BIOS Setup  
The HS-2608 v2.0 uses AMI BIOS for the system configuration. The  
AMI BIOS setup program is designed to provide the maximum flexibility  
in configuring the system by offering various options that could be  
selected for end-user requirements. This chapter is written to assist  
you in the proper usage of these features.  
4.1 Starting Setup  
The AMI 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. By pressing <Del> immediately after switching the system on, or  
2. 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

4.6 Advanced Chipset Setup  
This section allows you to configure the system based on the specific  
features of the installed chipset. This chipset manages bus speeds and  
the access to the system memory resources, such as DRAM and the  
external cache. It also coordinates the communications between the  
conventional ISA and PCI buses. It must be stated that these items  
should never be altered. The default settings have been chosen  
because they provide the best operating conditions for your system.  
You might consider and make any changes only if you discover that the  
data has been lost while using your system.

4.8 PCI / Plug and Play Setup  
This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. PCI, or  
Personal Computer Interconnect, is a system that 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.

4.9 Peripheral Setup  
The IDE hard drive controllers can support up to two separate hard  
drives. These drives have a master/slave relationship that is  
determined by the cabling configuration used to attach them to the  
controller. Your system supports two IDE controllers--a primary and a  
secondary--so you can install up to four separate hard disks.  
PIO means Programmed Input/Output. Rather than having the BIOS  
issue a series of commands to affect the transfer to or from the disk  
drive, PIO allows the BIOS to tell the controller what it wants and then  
let the controller and the CPU perform the complete task by them. This  
is much simpler and more efficient (also faster).

You can set either supervisor or user password, or both of them. The  
differences are:  
supervisor password: can enter and change the options of the setup  
menus.  
user password: just can only enter but do not have the right to change the  
options of the setup menus.  
When you select this function, the following message will appear at the  
center of the screen to assist you in creating a password.  
ENTER PASSWORD:  
Type the password, up to eight characters in length, and press  
<Enter>. The password typed now will clear any previously entered  
password from CMOS memory. You will be asked to confirm the  
password. Type the password again and press <Enter>. You may  
also press <Esc> to abort the selection and not enter a password.  
To disable a password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to  
enter the password. A message will confirm the password will be  
disabled. Once the password is disabled, the system will boot and you  
can enter Setup freely.  
43  
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.
