4.7 Advanced Chipset Features
This section allows you to configure the system based on the specific features of
the installed chipset. This chipset manages bus speeds and access to system
memory resources, such as DRAM and the external cache. It also coordinates
communications between the conventional ISA bus and the PCI bus. It must be
stated that these items should never need to be altered. The default settings
have been chosen because they provide the best operating conditions for your
system.
DRAM Timing Selectable
The first chipset settings deal with CPU access to dynamic random access
memory (DRAM). The default timings have been carefully chosen and should
only be altered if data is being lost. Such a scenario might well occur if your
system had mixed speed DRAM chips installed so that greater delays may be
required to preserve the integrity of the data held in the slower memory chips.
CAS Latency Time
When synchronous DRAM is installed, the number of clock cycles of CAS latency
depends on the DRAM timing.
The Choice: 1.5 , 2, 2.5 , 3
DRAM RAS# to CAS# Delay
This section lets you insert a timing delay between the CAS and RAS strobe
signals, used when DRAM is written to, read from, or refreshed. Fast gives faster
performance; and Slow gives more stable performance. However, this function
applies only when synchronous DRAM is installed in the system.
The Choice: 2, 3
DRAM RAS# Precharge
If an insufficient number of cycles is allowed for the RAS to accumulate its charge
before DRAM refresh, the refresh may be incomplete and the DRAM may fail to
retain data. Fast gives faster performance; and Slow gives more stable
performance. This field applies only when synchronous DRAM is installed in the
system.
The Choice: 2, 3

� 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
password will be required both at boot and at entry to Setup. If set to “Setup”,
prompting only occurs when trying to enter Setup.

Pressing on this item asks for confirmation:
Save to CMOS and EXIT (Y/N)? Y
Pressing “Y” stores the selections made in the menus in CMOS – a special section
of memory that stays on after you turn your system off. The next time you boot
your computer, the BIOS configures your system according to the Setup
selections stored in CMOS. After saving the values the system is restarted again.
Exit Without Saving
Pressing on this item asks for confirmation:
Quit without saving (Y/N)? Y
This allows you to exit Setup without storing in CMOS any change. The previous
selections remain in effect. This exits the Setup utility and restarts your
computer.

Appendix A Watchdog Timer
The Watchdog Timer is provided to ensure that standalone systems can always
recover from catastrophic conditions that cause the CPU to crash. This condition
may have occurred by external EMI or a software bug. When the CPU stops
working correctly, hardware on the board will either perform a hardware reset
(cold boot) or a Non-Maskable Interrupt (NMI) to bring the system back to a
known state.
A BIOS function call (INT 15H) is used to control the Watchdog Timer:
INT 15H:
AH – 6FH
Sub-function:
AL – 2 : Set the Watchdog Timer’s period
BL : Time-out value(Its unit--second is
dependent on the item “Watchdog Timer
unit
select” in CMOS setup).
You have to call sub-function 2 to set the time-out period of Watchdog Timer first.
If the time-out value is not zero, the Watchdog Timer will start counting down.
While the timer value reaches zero, the system will reset. To ensure that this
reset condition does not occur, the Watchdog Timer must be periodically
refreshed by calling sub-function 2. However the Watchdog timer will be disabled
if you set the time-out value to be zero.
A tolerance of at least 10% must be maintained to avoid unknown
routines within the operating system (DOS), such as disk I/O that can be
very time-consuming.
Note: When exiting a program it is necessary to disable the Watchdog Timer,
otherwise the system will reset.
Example program:
; INITIAL TIMER PERIOD COUNTER
;
W_LOOP:
MOV AX, 6F02H ;setting the time-out value
MOV BL, 30 ;time-out value is 48 seconds
INT 15H

Appendix C How to Upgrade a New BIOS
Before flashing BIOS , please enable the item
“FLASH BIOS” in BIOS setting.
You can install an upgrade BIOS for the ROCKY-4786EVG that you can download
from the manufacturer’s web site ( http://www.ieiworld.com ). New BIOS may
provide support for new peripherals ,improvements in performance or fixes to
addressed known bugs.
BIOS Update Procedure:
1. Make a boot disk. Go to the DOS command prompt in MS-DOS or Windows 9x
and, with an available floppy disk in "A", type "format A: /s" That will format
the floppy and transfer the needed system files to it.
NOTES:
A. This procedure will erase any prior data on that floppy, so please Proceed
accordingly.
B. Typically four files will be transferred, only COMMAND.COM being visible
when running a simple directory listing.
C. Please leave the diskette UN-write protected for the balance of this
procedure.
2. Download the BIOS upgrade file and awdflash.exe utility from a ICP web site
to a temp directory on your hard drive, or directly to the floppy you made in
step 1..
3. Copy ( BIOS file and awdflash.exe )two files to the boot floppy.
4. Reboot the system to the DOS command prompt using the boot diskette you
just made.
5. At the DOS command prompt type , "awdflash filename.xxx", where
filename.xxx is the file name of the BIOS file . Hit enter.
6. Your first option, in sequence, will be to save the old BIOS. We recommend
that you do that in case, for whatever reason, you decide you don't wish to
use the new version once it is installed.
NOTES:
A. If you decide to save the old BIOS, PLEASE make sure you do NOT save it
to the same file name as the new BIOS - if you use the same BIOS name
the old file will be written over the new file with NO warning prompt. A
simple file name to save the old BIOS to is OLDBIOS.BIN.
B. If you do NOT decide to save the old BIOS, PLEASE at least write down the
version number of the old BIOS and store that information with your
important computer documents. Enter N (for "no") and skip to step 9.
7. To save the old BIOS, hit Y (for "yes")
8. Enter a name for the OLD BIOS file and hit enter.
NOTE:PLEASE be sure you do NOT save the old BIOS file to the same file
name as the new BIOS - if you use the same BIOS name, the old file
will write over the new BIOS file WITHOUT a warning prompt. A simple
file name for saving the old BIOS to is OLDBIOS.BIN.
44
9. Your second option, in sequence, will be whether you want to flash your BIOS.
Enter Y (for "yes").
NOTE: This is the critical step. Once you kit the enter key, do NOT touch the
keyboard, the reset button, or power switch while the flashing is in
progress. There will be bar progressing across the screen while the
flashing is progressing.
10. When the flashing process is complete, you will be asked to reset or power off
the system. Remove the floppy diskette from the floppy drive and either hit
the reset button or the power button.
11. Reboot the system and note that the BIOS version on the initial boot-up
screen has changed to the new BIOS version. Your BIOS upgrade is now
complete.
Recovering Your Old BIOS:
1. Assuming you have the floppy made during the upgrade procedure noted
above, boot the system with that diskette in the floppy drive. If you do not
have floppy made during the upgrade procedure noted above, you will need to
repeat steps 1 though 3 (above) for the version of the BIOS you wish to
recover to.
2. Complete steps 4, 5, 6B, 9, 10, and 11 (above) substituting the name of the
BIOS you wish to recover for the upgrade BIOS at step 5.
