Introduction
Welcome to the ROCKY-Dual Celeron & Pentium® III
Single Board Computer. The ROCKY-3722EVS board is an
ISA/PCI form factor board, which comes equipped with high
performance Pentium® III Processor and advanced high
performance multi-I/O, designed for the system
manufacturers, integrators, or VARs that want to provide all the
performance, reliability, and quality at a reasonable price.
In addition, the ROCKY-3722EVS provides SiS 6326 VGA on
board. The VGA chip is SiS 3D graphics chipset which provides
up to 1600x1200 colors resolution. The VGA memory on board
This board has a built-in DiskOnChip™(DOC) Flash Disk Socket
for embedded applications. The DOC Flash Disk is 100%
software compatible with hard disks. Users can use any DOS
command without any extra software utility. The DOC currently
is available from 2MB to 144MB.
An advanced high performance super AT I/O chip – Winbond
W83977TF is used in the ROCKY-3722EVS board. Both on-
IDE interface are compatible with IBM PC/AT architecture.
The ROCKY-3722EVS uses dual Intel 82559 Fast Ethernet
Multifunction PCI Controller as a LAN controller. The 82559 is a
fully integrated 10BASE--TX LAN solution with high

2.2 Unpacking Precautions
Some components on ROCKY-3722EVS SBC are very sensitive
to static electric charges and can be damaged by a sudden rush
of power. To protect it from unintended damage, be sure to
ü Ground yourself to remove any static charge before touching
your ROCKY-3722EVS SBC. You can do it by using a grounded
wrist strap at all times or by frequently touching any conducting

This manual discusses Award's Setup program built into the 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 w
The Award BIOS installed in your computer system’s ROM (Read Only Memory)
is a custom version of an industry standard BIOS. This means that it supports
Intel PGA370 processors in a standard IBM-AT compatible input/output system.
The BIOS provides critical low-level support for standard devices such as disk
drives and serial and parallel ports.
The Award BIOS has been customized by adding important, but non-standard,
features such as virus and password protection as well as special support for
-tuning of the chipset controlling the entire system.
The rest of this manual is intended to guide you through the process of
configuring your system using Setup.
4.2 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.

If, after making and saving system changes with Setup, you discover that your
computer no longer is able to boot, the Award BIOS 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.
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.

HARD TO FIND A BETTER PROVIDER
Our company provides services to aid in the manufacture of technological products, such as semiconductors and flat panel displays, and often searching for distributors of obsolete product we require can waste time and money. Finding GID Industrial proved to be a great asset to our company, with cost effective solutions and superior knowledge on all of their materials, it’d be hard to find a better provider of obsolete or hard to find products.
Applied Materials
CONSISTENTLY DELIVERS QUALITY SOLUTIONS
Over the years, the equipment used in our company becomes discontinued, but they’re still of great use to us and our customers. Once these products are no longer available through the manufacturer, finding a reliable, quick supplier is a necessity, and luckily for us, GID Industrial has provided the most trustworthy, quality solutions to our obsolete component needs.

TERRIFIC RESOURCE
This company has been a terrific help to us (I work for Trican Well Service) in sourcing the Micron Ram Memory we needed for our Siemens computers. Great service! And great pricing! I know when the product is shipping and when it will arrive, all the way through the ordering process.

GO TO SOURCE
When I can't find an obsolete part, I first call GID and they'll come up with my parts every time. Great customer service and follow up as well. Scott emails me from time to time to touch base and see if we're having trouble finding something.....which is often with our 25 yr old equipment.
