Chapter 1  
General Description  
The HS-6251 is a VIA VT8606 chipset-based board designed for  
PCI-ISA Bus Socket 370 Intel® CeleronTM (100MHz FSB/1GHz)/  
CoppermineTM  
(133MHz  
FSB/1GHz)/TualatinTM  
(100MHz  
FSB/1.3GHz) and VIA C3 (133MHz FSB/1GHz) CPU. The combination  
of these features makes the HS-6251 an ideal all-in-one industrial  
single board computer. Additional features include an enhanced I/O  
with CRT/Panel, LAN, audio, and COM port interface.  
Its onboard ATA/33/66/100 connected to IDE drive interface  
architecture allows the HS-6251 to support data transfers of 33, 66 or  
100MB/sec. for each IDE drive connection. Designed with the VIA  
VT8606 core logic chipset, the board supports all CeleronTM (100MHz  
FSB/1GHz)/CoppermineTM (133MHz FSB/1GHz)/TualatinTM (100MHz  
FSB/1.3GHz) and VIA C3 (133MHz FSB/1GHz) CPU. The display  
controller is VIA VT8606 supporting CRT/Panel displays with 1280 x  
1024 resolution.  
For suitable plug into any size system with 8/16/32-bit ISA and/or PCI  
slots operation, the board’s advanced PCI-ISA bus add-on feature  
allows user to easily obtain both ISA's 16-bit and PCI's 32-bit full set  
signals from a half size PCI-ISA slot. System memory is also sufficient  
with the one DIMM socket that can support up to 512MB.  
1
Additional onboard connectors include two advanced USB and IrDA  
ports providing faster data transmission, DOS-compatible  
a
DiskOnChipsocket with a maximum capacity of 288MB, and one  
external RJ-45 connector for 10/100 Base-TX Ethernet use.  
To ensure the reliability in an unmanned or standalone system, the  
Watchdog Timer (WDT) onboard HS-6251 is designed with pure  
hardware that does not need the arithmetical functions of a real-time  
clock chip. If any program causes unexpected halts to the system, the  
onboard Watchdog Timer (WDT) will automatically reset the CPU or  
generate an interrupt to resolve such condition.

3.22 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.  
22  
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 period preset 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 JP4 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. The Watchdog Timer controls three  
I/O ports.

AMI BIOS Setup  
The HS-6251 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  
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  
27  
4.2 Using Setup  
In general, you use the arrow keys to highlight items, press <Enter> to  
select, use the <PageUp> and <PageDown> keys to change entries,  
press <F1> for help and press <Esc> to quit. The following table  
provides more detail about how to navigate in the Setup program using  
the keyboard.

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 then. The  
differences between 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.  
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.
