System Board Features
Each model includes an EISA system board that contains the
following major components:
CPU Module
The CPU (central processor unit) module plugs into the system
board and contains the appropriate processor. All the processors
come equipped with an integrated cache.
Memory
The system board contains four SIMM sockets that can
accommodate 2M, 4M, 8M, 16M, or 32M SIMMs. SIMMs must
be installed in pairs of the same size for a maximum onboard
memory of 128M.
The optional memory expansion module has eight SIMM sockets
that can accommodate 2M, 4M, 8M, 16M, or 32M SIMMs.
SIMMs must be installed in pairs of the same size for a
maximum expansion memory of 256M.
Total system memory is the combined total of system board
memory and optional expansion memory. The maximum total
system memory is 384M.
FLASH ROM
The 256K FLASH ROM (read-only memory) is divided into
system ROM (180K), EISA configuration (8K), BIOS recovery
(16K) , video BIOS (32K), BIOS Setup utility (8K), POST
(power-on self-test) (4K), and the user-defined region (8K).
Software utilities allow the FLASH ROM to be updated.

Configuring Your System
There are three ways to configure your system, through the ECU
stored on floppy disk, through the Setup utility stored in flash
memory (non-volatile memory that is easily changed)., or by
changing jumper positions on the system board.
If your system has been factory configured, the ECU (EISA
configuration utility) and the Setup utility may not need to be
run unless you change the password or security features, add
adapter boards, or upgrade your system.
Note: Since the configuration information stored in the ECU
overrides the configuration information stored in the Setup
utility. It is strongly recommended that you only use the Setup
utility for the following two reasons:
1. If the floppy disk drive is disabled and you want to enable
the floppy disk drive to access the ECU.
2. To disable the floppy drive after changing the ECU to stop
unauthorized ECU changes.

Configuring Your System
Setup Utility
The Setup utility, located in flash memory on the system board,
enables you to check (or change) the system configuration
information. Setup stores configuration settings in the
battery-backed memory of the real-time clock. These changes take
effect when you reboot the system,. During the POST (power-on
self-test), the settings are checked against the actual hardware
configuration. If they do not agree, the POST generates an error
message. It is not recommended to use Setup to make
configuration changes.
Changes or corrections to your configuration should be done
using the ECU. The changes then will be written to the Setup
utility.
Accessing Setup
Enter Setup by pressing F1 when the POST displays the test code
number “135.”

Configuring Your System
Using Setup
Press PG UPp or PG DN to move from one Setup page to
another.
Press or to move the highlight up or down. The cursor
moves only to the settings that you can change.
Press + or to change the highlighted value of the selected
setting. If you hold down + or , the value changes
continuously.
Exiting Setup
To exit Setup, press ESC to display the Exiting Setup menu.
Press F4 to save any changes and reboot the system. Press F6 to
exit without saving any changes.
Setup Options
This is a complete list of the options that can be configured in
Setup. If you cannot find one of these settings on your screen,
press PG UPp or PG DN until the setting displays.
System Time — The setting contains three fields: hours,
minutes, and seconds. The new time takes effect immediately; you
do not have to reboot the system.
System Date — The setting contains three fields: month, day of
the month, and year. The new date takes effect immediately; you
do not have to reboot the system.
Language — In addition to English, Setup can be displayed in
French, German, Italian, and Spanish.
Onboard Floppy — Enable this setting if you are using the
onboard floppy disk controller to control the floppy drive. Disable
this setting if you want the floppy disk hardware interrupt
(IRQ 6) available for an add-in board to use. For additional
security, disable writing to the floppy disk drive with the floppy
disk write-protect jumper. Refer to the “Write Protecting Floppy
Drives” section later in this chapter.
