Introduction
This document describes the PCI5000, which is a series of Industrial Computers ranging from open level 2 versions to IP65-enclosed level 4 versions offered by InnoScan
Computing A/S. The manual covers motherboard v1.3 and v1.4.
Structure of This Manual

This manual is organized as a structured, hierarchical decomposition - from the outside
to the inside - of the different PCI5000 versions.
The decomposition corresponds to a step by step disassembling of each version, starting by removing the computer cover, next dismounting board by board with all cables
and peripherals connected to it, and finally by disconnecting all cables and peripherals.
Each time a part is removed from the system a new chapter or section is allocated in
the manual, and a complete description concerning that part is made. This description
may include mechanical, electrical and/or software specifications and settings.
In this way the structure of the manual becomes a mirror of the physical hardware in
correspondence with object oriented development methods.
In preparing this manual we decided not to write one long, monolithic document, which
must be read from beginning to end.
An important reason is that a user cannot easily find the information needed without
searching the entire document.
Another reason for this decision is, that long narrative documents tend to be so boring,
that nobody wants to read them and certainly nobody enjoys to write them.
Instead we have decided to base this manual on diagrams, sketches, tables, and key
words, which is also in correspondence with our increasingly video-oriented society.
The manual is divided into three major parts - The Common PCI5000 Features and
Options, The PCI5000 Versions, and The Common Inside Details.
The Common PCI5000 Features and Options

The first part lists the PCI5000 versions available and describes the common features
and options of all versions.
The PCI5000 Versions

The second part presents the detailed specifications and characteristics of each version.
Each version is decomposed in separate chapters, starting with an outside mechanical
and electrical examination followed by removing the cover of the version and looking
at the organization of the main inside parts.
The detailed decomposition of the inside parts is treated in the third section.
Introduction 1
The Common Inside Details

The final part decomposes the boards, firmware and software support tools common for all
versions.
Each board - including its cables and peripherals - is examined in separate chapters.
For each board all main on board devices and all peripheral connections is described in its
own section.
The description of each part is complete in the way, that it contains description of signals,
connectors, cables, device types, and settings concerning that specific part.
In this way, the description of each part, at the same time serves as a step-by-step installation reference for that part.
Using This Manual

This manual assumes that you are familiar with the PC-architecture and experienced with
PC hardware and software.
As the manual is organized as a mirror of the physical hardware, you could find information about a given part by identifying its position in the hardware.
If for example you need information about the BIOS, then you would look in the CPUmotherboard chapter, because the BIOS is placed on the CPU-motherboard.
Designing the manual in this way, we hope that it may serve as a structured map that will
guide you through the specifications and settings.

Mounting of a Level 4
The level 4 is prepared for mounting by two threaded bushings placed on the left and right
side of the enclosure (more details on page 19). As an option you can get a stainless steel
bracket for wall mounting (see page 22).
Space Behind The Computer

The level 4 has an integrated heat sink. The heat sink on the back of the enclosure is an
important part of that system. By mounting it is very important that the PC is given a minimum amount of free space to ensure the convection.

When mounting a level 3 into a panel or a rack please observe the following:
Space Behind the Computer

A complete description of all the different positions and ways a level 3 could be mounted
into a panel, is of course not possible. By mounting in general it is very important that the
back of the PC is given a minimum amount of space as the PC produces heat. From the
technical specifications you will know that the level 3 is specified to operate in up to 45C.
From below figures 2 and 3, you will see some examples of right and wrong mounting.
Figure 2
We strongly recommend minimum 1 cubic meter free space behind the panel front on the
assumption that there is no airflow inside your panel or rack equipment. If you have a
chance of providing a natural airflow through the inside area of the panel (see fig. 3 on the
next page) it will help you to keep the internal temperature down. If you want an even better airflow you may consider to mount a fan improving the natural airflow.
30
Part 2
Figure 3
If you install additional equipment that generates heat inside the panel please observe the
total accumulation of heat as it may then demand additional space to keep internal temperature down. It is always worth while to care about the temperature even if it is not near the
critical point as electronics in general will live longer if not stressed by high temperatures.
When mounting please also observe the following:

* Make sure that the surface of your panel is uniform and even
* Screw torque tightening: Max 0.08 kpm
* Make sure that there is electrical connection between all the screws in the PC front and
your panel

By choosing a level 2 you decided to deal with details yourselves such as: frame, casing,
etc.
When mounting a level 2 into a panel, a rack or your own enclosure please observe the following:
Space Behind the Computer

A complete description of all the different positions and ways a level 2 could be mounted
into a panel, is of cause not possible. By mounting in general it is very important that the
back of the PC is given a minimum amount of space as the PC produces heat. From the
technical specifications you will know that the level 2 is specified to operate in up to 45C.
From fig. 2 on page 30 you will see some examples of right and wrong mounting.
We strongly recommend minimum 1 cubic meter free space behind the panel front, on the
assumption that there is no airflow through your inside construction. If you have a chance
of providing a natural airflow through the inside area of the panel, it will help you to keep
the internal temperature down. If you want an even better airflow you may consider to
mount a fan improving the natural airflow.
If you install additional equipment that also generates heat inside the panel please observe
the total accumulation of heat as it may then demand additional space to keep internal temperature down. It is always worth while to care about the temperature even if it is not near
the critical point as electronics in general will live longer if not stressed by high temperatures.
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

From our technical specifications you will know that our PCs complies with EMC directive for industry. The level 2 PC isnt equipped with a protective front when you receive it,
therefore it follows naturally that you will decide how the framework of the front should be
carried out.
If you decide that your technical construction must comply with the EMC Directive you
cant use normal glass as protection in front of the display. To reduce electromagnetic disturbance in and out of your system (Immunity & Emission), the protective window must be
coated on the inner side with Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) and a surface resistivity of 20
Ohms/square. It is important to ensure a good connection between the ITO coating and protective ground. The connection can be made by using adhesive tape made of copper. This
implies of course, that your front panel is made of a material providing a good protective
ground.
42
Part 2
Mounting Instructions
(See pages 36, 38, and 40 for complete mechanical size).
: Please make sure that there is a good connection between the

ITO coatning and protective ground.
: Please make sure that there is a good connection between the

chassis and the protective ground.
: Please make sure that there is no connection between the metal

frame on the display and protective ground.

Updates from motherboard version 1.3

Identification
The PCI5000 motherboard version number is printed on the upper left corner of the printed
circuit board. Also you may identify the v1.3 number by a paper label placed in the visible
right corner of the motherboard. In case of a v1.3 motherboard a label will read 25300000-130.
PCI Bus
The v1.3 motherboard supports up to 3 PCI bus cards depending on the number of slots in
the backplane.
CPU Bus speed

The v1.3 motherboard supports Intel Pentium processors in the range 100, 120, 133, 150,
166, 180, 200Mhz, and Pentium MMX 166, 200, and 255Mhz.
BIOS
The system BIOS have been upgraded to a new core. The new system BIOS will be backward compatible, but it is not possible to use an older system BIOS in version 1.3 motherboards. Trying to do this will cause continual system reset. The BIOS vendor is Award.
Please check the manual Chapter 8 to get help on BIOS settings. In general ISC does not
advise anybody to make changes in the BIOS settings unless explicit asked to as this may
have disastrous consequences. BIOS setting in the new core is changed so COM3/4 add on
boards do not require changing the BIOS settings any more.
Memory Map
Due to the BIOS have been updated on the v1.3 motherboard and prepared for USB the
system memory map have changed slightly. VGA BIOS have been reduced from 48K to
32K to give more space for add on cards. As new BIOS areas have been former reserved
this should not bring problems. Please find the revised memory map below.

System Registers 0120h - 12Ah

Due to a problem with the Windows 95 and 98 PnP addresses conflicting with the PCI5000
system registers 120h to 12Ah causing activation of the system watchdog and subsequent
reset during installation a new system register 12F have been added.
This register respective lock and unlock write/read access to the system registers. Default
state will be locked which means system registers have to be unlocked before accessing
them.
Reg IO address 0x12F (W) Register Lock. Bit 7-0 write sequence 49h 53h 43h => Unlock
Reg IO address 0x12F (W) Register Lock. Bit 7-0 write 00h => Lock
Please be aware of this if making use of the PCI5000 system registers.
Utility Disk
Due to a problem with the Windows 95 and 98 PnP addresses conflicting with the PCI5000
system registers handling battery backup and Mono LCD BIAS control the utility programs
bat_on, bat_off and lcdisc have been updated. Please find and install the updated
versions from the utility disk ISC P/N 2280-8006-020.
Also the Chips video drivers for Windows 95 and Windows NT have been updated. At any
time the newest PCI5000 video drivers can be downloaded from ISC Internet homepage
http://www.innoscan-isc.dk.
The WIN 3.11 video drivers have been removed from the utility disk but they can be downloaded via http://www.innoscan-isc.dk or ordered from ISC on Floppy disk ISC #22808005-025.
PCI5000 Motherboard Connectors

The originally 2mm motherboard connectors used for Harddisk and LCD interface have
been exchanged by connectors with even higher mating resistance to raise vibration immunity.

Dismounting and Mounting of the Hard Disk Module

Dismounting
Be sure to turn off the power, remove the ribbon cable connector (see no. 2 on figure 1) on
J5. Please make sure that you use a small screwdriver to loosen the connector. Remove the
4 screws (see no. 1 on figure 1) on the HD module. The hard disk module (see no. 3 on figure 1) can now be removed from the PCI5000.
Mounting
Be sure to turn off the power, mount the hard disk module (see no. 3 on figure 1) on the 4
distance bolts (see no. 4 on figure 1). Mount the ribbon cable connector (see no. 2 on figure
1) on J5. Please make sure that the connector is mounted correctly on the pin rows both on
the hard disk and the motherboard. When starting the PCI5000 the BIOS will autodetect
the harddisk.

Dismounting and Mounting of the Silicon Disk Module
Dismounting
Be sure to turn off the power. Remove the 2 screws on the SDM.
The SDM can now be removed from the PCI5000. When you turn on the PCI5000 again
the BIOS automatically detects that the SDM has been dismounted.
Mounting
Be sure to turn off the power. Mount the SDM in the JPC/104AB-JPC/104CD connector.
Mount the two screws on the 2 distance bolts. Make sure that switch 8 on SW1 is in position ON. When you turn on the PCI again the BIOS automatically detects that the SDM has
been mounted. Be sure to define whether the SDM Drive Naming should be drive C: or

7.16 Serial Communication

Introduction
The PCI5000 provides two serial communication ports. Each port is fully isolated from the
other port and from the rest of the unit as illustrated in Appendix A page iii. Each port can
be configured for either RS232, RS422, or RS485.
Concepts and Applications

At the lowest level, serial communications conform to one of three common electrical and
data format standards: RS232, RS422, or RS485.
RS232:
Most devices capable of serial communications conform to the

RS232 standard. RS232 communication cables should not exceed 15 meters because signal quality deteriorates as distance
increases. InnoScan Computing A/S recommends you use a highquality shielded cable, such as Alpha 1243/5.
The RS232 port pin-out on a PCI5000 is identical to most ATcompatible COM cards, such as the IBM AT Serial and Parallel
Adapter.
RS422:
Although still outnumbered by RS232 devices, there are many

devices capable of RS422 communications. RS422 offers greater
noise immunity, which increases the maximum cable length to
1200 meters.
Cables with twisted pairs for TXD and RXD plus a tight shield
should be used throughout.
The RS422 connection is InnoScan Computing A/S specific.
RS485:
The RS485 communications standard is an extension of RS422.

RS485 provides multidrop communications, where there are
more than two transmitters. While an RS422 transmitter can talk
to multiple receivers, RS485 devices are capable of multiple transmitters connected to multiple receivers.
Cables with twisted pairs for TXD and RXD plus a tight shield
should be used throughout.
The RS485 connection is InnoScan Computing A/S specific.
Grounding
The RS232, RS422, and RS485 standards specify a 100/1/2W resistor to be connected
between signal GND and protective frame/earth (CHS).
This connection can sometimes be a disadvantage where differences between earth poten-
Chapter 7
CPU-motherboard 89
tials exist, since it provides a path for common mode ground loops, between the DCE and
DTE equipment.
All COM ports including the printer port of the PCI5000 have individual galvanic isolation
(1KV) thereby preventing ground loops when communicating with other equipments. This
requires the 100/1/2W resistor to be disconnected, which is normal factory setting.
Please refer to page 92 for position of the 100 jumper.
Connections and Cables

Each port has two connectors, one RS232 (JCOM1/JCOM2) connector and one
RS422/RS485 (JRS4XX1/JRS4XX2) connector, although you can connect a port using
only one connector at a given time.

Handshaking
How to use the handshaking lines:
RS232
: Only the RS232 connector supports handshaking signals. Most

programmable controllers do not require you to connect the
handshaking lines from the PCI5000. Instead, you normally
install jumpers to connect the following signals at each end of
the cable:
RTS (pin 7) and CTS (pin 8)
DCD (pin 1), DTR (pin 4), and DSR (pin 6)

The following diagram shows a typical RS422 installation; note that 120 termination
resistors are already mounted on the PCI-motherboard and can be selected by jumper
JRS4XXS1 on COM1 and jumpers JRS4XXS2 on COM2. Although the common (GND) is
shown as a twisted pair, this can also be a single conductor.
Resistors Rx, Ry are provided for biasing one input lead (RXD-) in case non-balanced
unipolar communication is required. Utilisation of these biasing resistors may require the
use of wire-wrapping instead of using fixed jumpers.
The cable shield should be connected to chassis (CHS) in one end only to avoid high current ground loops.
Termination should be installed in the receiver end only.
If more receivers are connected to one transmitter, only one termination resistor should be
installed in the farthest end of the transmission cable. For grounding please refer to page
89.
94
Part 3
Handshaking
How to use the handshaking lines:
RS422
: The RS422 port only provides the data signalling lines.

Software handshaking must therefore provide the data interchange security.
If you have a problem establishing communication via the
RS422 port, it may be because of a conflict between your
application software and the available signals. Some application
software requires an active CTS signal, an active DSR signal, or
both active CTS and DSR signals. Since the RS422/485 port
does not support these signals, you must provide them on the
related RS232 port.
To activate the CTS and DSR signals when communicating
through the RS422/485 port two options exist:
Either install a 10-pin connector directly on the motherboard as shown in the diagram on the previous page. The
10-pin connector must jumper pins 4 and 6 together, and
must also jumper pins 1, 2, and 7 together.
Or install a 9-pin D-Sub connector on the RS232 port on
the connector panel (see page 27) corresponding to the
RS422/485 port you are using. The 9-pin D-Sub connector
must jumper pins 7 and 8 together, and must also jumper
pins 1, 4, and 6 together.

The following diagram shows a typical RS485 installation; 120 termination resistors are
already mounted on the PCI-motherboard and can be selected by jumper JRS4XXS1 on
COM1 and jumpers JRS4XXS2 on COM2. Note that termination resistors are required
only at each end; you must not install termination resistors on intermediate stations.
Although the common (GND) is shown as a twisted pair, this can also be a single conductor.
Resistors Rx, Ry are provided for biasing one input lead (RXD-) in case non-balanced
unipolar communication is required. Utilization of these biasing resistors may require the

The cable shield should be connected to chassis (CHS) in one end only to avoid high current ground loops.
For grounding please refer to page 89.
Chapter 7
CPU-motherboard 97
Handshaking
RS485
: For the RS485 port to transmit data, the software package

youre running must assert the RTS signal. Although the
RS422/485 connector lacks the RTS line, the PCI5000 uses it
internally to enable the RS485 transmitter. This capability is
fundamental to RS485 communications since it permits the
multiple master capability.
If you have a problem establishing communication via the
RS422/485 port, it may be because of a conflict between your
application software and the available signals. Some application
software requires an active CTS signal, an active DSR signal, or
both active CTS and DSR signals. Since the RS422/485 port
does not support these signals, you must provide them on the
related RS232 port.
To activate the CTS and DSR signals when communicating
through the RS422/485 port, two options exist:
Either install a 10-pin connector directly on the motherboard as shown in the diagram on the previous page. The
10-pin connector must jumper pins 4 and 6 together, and
must also jumper pins 1, 2, and 7 together.
Or install a 9-pin D-Sub connector on the RS232 port on
the connector panel (see page 27) corresponding to the
RS422/485 port you are using. The 9-pin D-Sub connector
must jumper pins 7 and 8 together, and must also jumper
pins 1, 4, and 6 together.
A separate jumper (JP3/JP10) is provided on the PCI5000 port
circuits to enable an echo of transmitted data to be looped back
onto the receive line. Please refer to jumper settings on page 99.

Chapter 8 Award BIOS

8.1
Starting Setup
The Award BIOS is immediately activated when you first turn on the computer. The BIOS
reads system configuration information in CMOS RAM and begins the process of checking
out the system and configuring it through the power-on self test (POST).
When these preliminaries are finished, the BIOS seeks an operating system on one of the
data storage devices (hard drive, floppy drive, etc.). The BIOS launches the operating system and hands control of system operations to it.
During POST, you can start the Setup program in one of two ways:
1. By pressing Del immediately after switching the system on, or
2. By pressing Del or by pressing Ctrl-Alt-Esc when the following message
appears briefly at the bottom of the screen during POST:
TO ENTER SETUP BEFORE BOOT PRESS CTRL-ALT-ESC OR DEL KEY
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 by pressing the
RESET button on the system case. You may also restart by simultaneously
pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del. If you do not press the keys at the correct time and the
system does not boot, an error message appears and you are again asked to
PRESS F1 TO CONTINUE, CTRL-ALT-ESC OR DEL TO ENTER SETUP

In Case of Problems
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 that
resets your system to its default configuration.
You can invoke this override by immediately pressing Insert when you restart your computer. You can restart by either using the ON/OFF switch, the RESET button or by pressing
Ctrl-Alt-Delete.
The best advice is to alter only settings that you thoroughly understand. In particular, do
not change settings in the Chipset screen without a good reason. The Chipset defaults have
been carefully chosen by Award or your system manufacturer for the best performance and
reliability. Even a seemingly small change to the Chipset setup may causing the system to
become unstable.

Part 3
Setup Variations
Not all systems have the same Setup. While the basic look and function of the Setup program remains the same for all systems, the appearance of your Setup screens may differ
from the screens shown here. Each system design and chipset combination require custom
configurations. In addition, the final appearance of the Setup program depends on your system designer. Your system designer can decide that certain items should not be available
for user configuration and remove them from the Setup program.
8.2
Main Setup Menu

When you enter the Award BIOS CMOS Setup Utility, a Main Menu appears on the screen.
The Main Menu allows you to select from several Setup functions and two exit choices.
Use the arrow keys to select among the items and press Enter to accept and enter the submenu.
A brief description of each highlighted selection appears at the bottom of the screen.
Following is a brief summary of each Setup category.

Automatically detect and configure IDE hard disk

parameters.
HDD Low Level

Format
This option does not appear in many BIOS versions. Most

manufacturers of IDE hard drives strongly recommend that
you do not run a low-level format on their drives, because
of the danger that the bad-track table may be over-written.
Chapter 8
Award BIOS 111
Award supplies this utility for service personnel only. If

you feel that you need to run a low-level format on your
hard drive, contact your drive manufacturer for
instructions!

BIOS defaults are factory settings for the most stable,

minimal-performance system operations.
Load Setup Defaults
Setup defaults are factory settings for optimal-performance

system operations.
Save & Exit Setup
Save settings in nonvolatile CMOS RAM and exit Setup.
Exit Without Save
Abandon all changes and exit Setup.
Standard CMOS Setup

In the Standard CMOS menu you can set the system clock and calendar, record disk drive
parameters and the video subsystem type, and select the type of errors that stop the BIOS
POST.
Date
The BIOS determines the day of the week from the other date information. This field is for
information only.
Press the right arrow or left arrow key to move to the desired field (date, month, year).
Press the PgUp or PgDn key to increment the setting, or type the desired value into the
field.
Time
The time format is based on the 24-hour military-time clock. For example, 1 p.m. is
13:00:00. Press the right arrow or left arrow key to move to the desired field . Press the
PgUp or PgDn key to increment the setting, or type the desired value into the field.
Daylight Saving
This category may not be present in your Setup program. When enabled, it adds one hour
to the clock when daylight-saving time begins. It also subtracts one hour when standard
time returns.
Hard Disks
The BIOS supports up to four IDE drives. This section does not show information about
other IDE devices, such as a CD-ROM drive, or about other hard drive types, such as SCSI
drives.
NOTE: We recommend that you select type AUTO for all drives.
112
Part 3
The BIOS can automatically detect the specifications and optimal operating mode of
almost all IDE hard drives. When you select type AUTO for a hard drive, the BIOS detects
its specifications during POST, every time the system boots.
If you do not want to select drive type AUTO, other methods of selecting the drive type are
available:
1. Match the specifications of your installed IDE hard drive(s) with the
preprogrammed values for drive types 1 through 45.
2. Select USER and enter values into each drive parameter field.
3. Use the IDE HDD AUTO DETECTION function in Setup.
Here is a brief explanation of drive specifications:
Type: The BIOS contains a table of pre-defined drive types. Each defined drive
type has a specified number of cylinders, number of heads, write
precompensation factor, landing zone, and number of sectors. Drives whose
specifications do not accommodate any pre-defined type are classified as type
USER.
Size: Disk drive capacity (approximate). Note that this size is usually slightly
greater than the size of a formatted disk given by a disk-checking program.
Cyls: Number of cylinders
Head: Number of heads
Precomp: Write precompensation cylinder
Landz: Landing zone
Sector: Number of sectors
Mode: Auto, Normal, large, or LBA
Auto: The BIOS automatically determines the optimal mode.
Normal: Maximum number of cylinders, heads, and sectors supported are

1024, 16, and 63.
Large: For drives that do not support LBA and have more than 1024
cylinders.
LBA (Logical Block Addressing): During drive accesses, the IDE

controller transforms the data address described by sector, head, and
cylinder number into a physical block address, significantly improving data
transfer rates. For drives with greater than 1024 cylinders.

Halt On
During the power-on self-test (POST), the computer stops if the BIOS detects a hardware
error. You can tell the BIOS to ignore certain errors during POST and continue the boot-up
process. These are the selections:
No errors
POST does not stop for any errors.
All errors
If the BIOS detects any non-fatal error, POST

stops and prompts you to take corrective action.
All,

POST does not stop for a keyboard error, but

stops for all other errors.
All, But
Diskette
POST does not stop for diskette drive errors,

but stops for all other errors.
All, But
Disk/Key
POST does not stop for a keyboard or disk

error, but stops for all other errors.
Memory
You cannot change any values in the Memory fields; they are only for your information.
The fields show the total installed random access memory (RAM) and amounts allocated to
base memory, extended memory, and other (high) memory. RAM is counted in kilobytes
(KB: approximately one thousand bytes) and megabytes (MB: approximately one million
bytes).
RAM is the computer's working memory, where the computer stores programs and data
currently being used, so they are accessible to the CPU. Modern personal computers may
contain up to 64 MB, 128 MB, or more.
Base Memory
Typically 640 KB. Also called conventional memory. The DOS operating
system and conventional applications use this area.
Extended Memory
Above the 1-MB boundary. Early IBM personal computers could not use
memory above 1 MB, but current PCs and their software can use extended
memory.
Other Memory
Between 640 KB and 1 MB; often called High memory. DOS may load
terminate-and- stay-resident (TSR) programs, such as device drivers, in this
area, to free as much conventional memory as possible for applications. Lines
in your CONFIG.SYS file that start with LOADHIGH load programs into high
memory.

8.4
BIOS Features Setup

This screen contains industry-standard options additional to the core PC AT BIOS. This
section describes all fields offered by Award Software in this screen. Your system board
designer may omit or modify some fields.
Virus Warning
When Enabled, you receive a warning message if a program (specifically, a virus) attempts
to write to the boot sector or the partition table of the hard disk drive. You should then run
an anti- virus program. Keep in mind that this feature protects only the boot sector, not the
entire hard drive.
NOTE: Many disk diagnostic programs that access the boot sector table can trigger the
virus warning message. If you plan to run such a program, we recommend that you first
disable the virus warning.
CPU Internal Cache/External Cache

Cache memory is additional memory that is much faster than conventional DRAM (system
memory). CPUs from 486-type on up contain internal cache memory, and most, but not all,
modern PCs have additional (external) cache memory. When the CPU requests data, the
system transfers the requested data from the main DRAM into cache memory, for even
faster access by the CPU.
The External Cache field may not appear if your system does not have external cache
memory.
Quick Power On Self Test

Select Enabled to reduce the amount of time required to run the power-on self-test (POST).
A quick POST skips certain steps. We recommend that you normally disable quick POST.
Better to find a problem during POST than lose data during your work.
Boot Sequence
The original IBM PCs loaded the DOS operating system from drive A (floppy disk), so
IBM PC- compatible systems are designed to search for an operating system first on drive
A, and then on drive C (hard disk). However, modern computers usually load the operating
system from the hard drive, and may even load it from a CD-ROM drive.
116
Part 3
Swap Floppy Drive

This field is effective only in systems with two floppy drives. Selecting Enabled assigns
physical drive B to logical drive A, and physical drive A to logical drive B.
Boot Up Floppy Seek

When Enabled, the BIOS tests (seeks) floppy drives to determine whether they have 40 or
80 tracks. Only 360-KB floppy drives have 40 tracks; drives with 720 KB, 1.2 MB, and
1.44 MB capacity all have 80 tracks. Because very few modern PCs have 40-track floppy
drives, we recommend that you set this field to Disabled to save time.
Boot Up NumLock Status

Toggle between On or Off to control the state of the NumLock key when the system boots.
When toggled On, the numeric keypad generates numbers instead of controlling cursor
operations.
Boot Up System Speed

Select High to boot at the default CPU speed; select Low to boot at the speed of the AT
bus. Some add-in peripherals or old software (such as old games) may require a slow CPU
speed. The default setting is High.
Gate A20 Option

Gate A20 refers to the way the system addresses memory above 1 MB (extended memory).
When set to Fast, the system chipset controls Gate A20. When set to Normal, a pin in the
keyboard controller controls Gate A20. Setting Gate A20 to Fast improves system speed,
particularly with OS/2 and Windows. The default setting is Fast.
Memory Parity Check

Parity is a testing feature built into some system memory chips (DRAM). Select Enabled
only if your system DRAM contains parity. This field may not be present in systems without parity DRAM.
Selecting Enabled adds a parity check to the boot-up memory tests. If the BIOS detects a
parity error, a message appears, describing the problem and, if possible, the location of the
problem. The boot process then terminates and you must replace the faulty DRAM.
Selecting Disabled omits the memory parity check.
Chapter 8
Award BIOS 117
Typematic Rate Setting

When Disabled, the following two items (Typematic Rate and Typematic Delay) are irrelevant. Keystrokes repeat at a rate determined by the keyboard controller in your system.
When Enabled, you can select a typematic rate and typematic delay.
Typematic Rate (Chars/Sec)

When the typematic rate setting is enabled, you can select a typematic rate (the rate at
which character repeats when you hold down a key) of 6, 8, 10,12, 15, 20, 24 or 30 characters per second.
Typematic Delay (Msec)

When the typematic rate setting is enabled, you can select a typematic delay (the delay
before key strokes begin to repeat) of 250, 500, 750 or 1000 milliseconds.
Security Option
If you have set a password, select whether the password is required every time the System
boots, or only when you enter Setup.
PS/2 Mouse Function Control

Select Disabled if you wish to disable your PS/2 mouse controller (for example, if you
installed a serial pointing device).
PCI/VGA Palette Snoop

Your BIOS Setup many not contain this field. If the field is present, leave at Disabled.
OS Select for DRAM > 64MB

Select OS2 only if you are running OS/2 operating system with greater than 64 MB of
RAM on your system.
118
Part 3
Shadow
Software that resides in a read-only memory (ROM) chip on a device is called firmware.
The Award BIOS permits shadowing of firmware such as the system BIOS, video BIOS,
and similar operating instructions that come with some expansion peripherals, such as, for
example, a SCSI adapter.
Shadowing copies firmware from ROM into system RAM, where the CPU can read it
through the 16-bit or 32-bit DRAM bus. Firmware not shadowed must be read by the system through the 8-bit X-bus. Shadowing improves the performance of the system BIOS and
similar ROM firmware for expansion peripherals, but it also reduces the amount of high
memory (640 KB to 1 MB) available for loading device drivers, etc.
Enable shadowing into each section of memory separately. Many system designers hardwire shadowing of the system BIOS and eliminate a System BIOS Shadow option.
Video BIOS shadows into memory area C0000-C7FFF. The remaining areas shown on the
BIOS Features Setup screen may be occupied by other expansion card firmware. If an
expansion peripheral in your system contains ROM-based firmware, you need to know the
address range the ROM occupies to shadow it into the correct area of RAM.

ADVANCED OPTIONS. The parameters in this screen are for system designers, service
personnel, and technically competent users only. Do not reset these values unless you
understand the consequences of your changes.
NOTE: This chapter describes all fields offered by Award Software in this screen. Your system board designer may omit or modify some fields.
Auto Configuration
Auto Configuration selects predetermined optimal values of chipset parameters. When Disabled, chipset parameters revert to setup information stored in CMOS. Many fields in this
screen are not available when Auto Configuration is Enabled.
AT-BUS Clock
You can set the speed of the AT bus in terms of a fraction of the CPU clock speed, or at the
fixed speed of 7.16 MHz.

DRAM Data Integrity Mode

Select Parity or ECC (error-correcting code), according to the type of installed DRAM.
Pipelined Function
When Enabled, the M1523 controller signals the CPU for a new memory address before all
data transfers for the current cycles are complete, resulting in faster performance.
120
Part 3
16 Bit ISA I/O Command WS

Your system quite possibly has much higher performance than some of your input/output
(I/O) devices. This means that unless the system is instructed to allow more time, more
wait states, for devices to respond, it might think the device has malfunctioned and stop its
request for I/O. If all your I/O devices are capable, then disabling this setting could result
in greater throughput. Otherwise, data could be lost.
16 Bit ISA Mem Command WS

When memory is accessed on the ISA bus, the system must allow for the relatively slow
speed of the ISA bus. This setting allows you to match the speed of device memory located
on the ISA bus with the system ability to read/write to that memory.
Local Memory 15-16M

To increase performance, your system can map slower device memory (usually a device is
connected to the slower ISA bus) into much faster local bus memory. It does this by setting
aside local memory and transferring the start point from the device memory to the local
memory. Use this setting to enable/disable this capability. It is Enabled by default.
Passive Release
When Enabled, CPU to PCI bus accesses are allowed during passive release. Otherwise,
the arbiter only accepts another PCI master access to local DRAM.
ISA Line Buffer

The M1523 PCI to ISA Bridge has an 8-byte bidirectional line buffer for ISA or DMA bus
master memory reads from or writes to the PCI bus. When Enabled, an ISA or DMA bus
master can prefetch two double words to the line buffer for a read cycle.
Delay Transaction
The M1523 bridge has an embedded 32-bit posted write buffer to support delay transactions cycles. Select Enabled to support compliance with PCI specification version 2.1.
Chapter 8
Award BIOS 121
Primary Frame Buffer

Select a size for the PCI frame buffer. The size of the buffer should not impinge on local
memory.
VGA Frame Buffer

When Enabled, a fixed VGA frame buffer from A000h to BFFFh and a CPU-to-PCI write
buffer are implemented.
Linear Merge
When Enabled, only consecutive linear addresses can be merged.
Word Merge
This field controls the word-merge feature for frame buffer cycles. When Enabled, the
M1521 controller checks the eight CPU Byte Enable signals to determine if data words
read from the PCI bus by the CPU can be merged.
Byte Merge
This field controls the byte-merge feature for frame buffer cycles. When Enabled, the
M1521 controller checks the eight CPU Byte Enable signals to determine if data bytes read
from the PCI bus by the CPU can be merged.
Fast Back to Back

When Enabled, consecutive PCI write cycles targeted to the same slave will become fast
back- to-back on the PCI bus.
PCI Write Burst

When Enabled, consecutive PCI write cycles become burst cycles on the PCI bus.
M1 Linear Burst Mode

Select Enabled if your system contains a Cyrix M1 CPU.

Reset Configuration Data

Normally, you leave this field Disabled. Select Enabled to reset Extended System Configuration Data (ESCD) when you exit Setup if you have installed a new add-on and the system
reconfiguration has caused such a serious conflict that the operating system cannot boot.
IRQ n Assigned to
When resources are controlled manually, assign each system interrupt as one of the following types, depending on the type of device using the interrupt:
Legacy ISA
Devices compliant with the original PC AT bus specification, requiring a specific
interrupt (such as IRQ4 for serial port 1).
PCI/ISA PnP
Devices compliant with the Plug and Play standard, whether designed for PCI or
ISA bus architecture.
DMA n Assigned to
When resources are controlled manually, assign each system DMA channel as one of the
following types, depending on the type of device using the interrupt:
Legacy ISA
Devices compliant with the original PC AT bus specification, requiring a specific
DMA channel
PCI/ISA PnP
Devices compliant with the Plug and Play standard, whether designed for PCI or
ISA bus architecture.
PCI IDE Second Channel

Select Disabled to deactivate the onboard PCI IDE second channel interface, if you install
a secondary add-in IDE interface.
126
Part 3
PCI IRQ Activated by

Leave the IRQ trigger set at Level unless the PCI device assigned to the interrupt specifies
Edge- triggered interrupts.
PCI IDE IRQ Map to

This field lets you select PCI IDE IRQ mapping or PC AT (ISA) interrupts. If your system
does not have one or two PCI IDE connectors on the system board, select values according
to the type of IDE interface(s) installed in your system (PCI or ISA). Standard ISA interrupts for IDE channels are IRQ14 for primary and IRQ15 for secondary.
Each PCI peripheral connection is capable of activating up to four interrupts: INT# A, INT#
B, INT# C and INT# D. By default, a PCI connection is assigned INT# A. Assigning INT#
B has no meaning unless the peripheral device requires two interrupt services rather than
just one. Because the PCI IDE interface in the chipset has two channels, it requires two
interrupt services. The primary and secondary IDE INT# fields default to values appropriate for two PCI IDE channels, with the primary PCI IDE channel having a lower interrupt
than the secondary.
8.8
Integrated Peripherals
On-Chip IDE Controller

The integrated peripheral controller contains a IDE interface with support for two IDE
channels. Select Enabled to activate the IDE interface.
2nd Channel IDE

You may separately disable the second IDE channel on the integrated peripherals controller.
IDE Primary/Secondary Master/Slave PIO

The four IDE PIO (Programmed Input/Output) fields let you set a PIO mode (0-4) for each
of the four IDE devices that the onboard IDE interface supports. Modes 0 through 4 provide successively increased performance. In Auto mode, the system automatically determines the best mode for each device.
Chapter 8
Award BIOS 127
IDE Primary/Secondary Master/Slave FIFO

The four IDE FIFO (First In/First Out) fields let you enable a FIFO buffer to speed up data
I/O for each of the four IDE devices that the onboard IDE interface supports.
IDE HDD Block Mode

Block mode is also called block transfer, multiple commands, or multiple sector read/write.
If your IDE hard drive supports block mode (most new drives do), select Enabled for automatic detection of the optimal number of block read/writes per sector the drive can support.
IDE 32-bit Transfer Mode

The IDE interface in the integrated peripherals controller supports 32-bit data transfers.
Select Enabled only if your IDE hard drives can also support 32-bit transfer mode.
Onboard FDC Controller

Select Enabled if your system has a floppy disk controller (FDC) installed on the system
board and you wish to use it. If you install an add-in FDC or the system has no floppy
drive, select Disabled in this field.

Chapter 13 Software Support Tools

The silicon disk module is an PC/104 build-on module. It is a flash EPROM based storage
medium emulating a hard disk drive. All data are directly stored in semiconductors without
use of mechanics. This reduces reading access time and mechanical instability.
Installation
The silicon disk module is placed on the PC/104 connector. The module is half-size
which means only two mounting screws are necessary. The mounting holes are 3.2 mm in
size. The interconnection distance board to board is 10 mm.
Before power on make sure the dip switch on SDM is set off. The dip switch is located
beside the PC/104 connector and controls the write protection signal. If the dip is on, the
complete module is write protected.
The system must be equipped with a booting device, ie. a floppy drive with a bootable
DOS diskette. At power on the BIOS will register and check the silicon disk and install it
as the C: device. From factory the silicon disk module is DOS formatted. To make the silicon disk bootable run the DOS utility SYS.COM. Hereafter, the floppy device is no longer
necessary.
DIP switch named SW1 must be ON.
BIOS Setup
The default situation will not imply any interaction with the BIOS setup. However, with the
BIOS setup you can change two factors which might be of interest:
Write protection of the disk
Name of the disk
You can enable write protection of the complete silicon disk. This will prohibit all write
access to the disk. Even though this is not normal for a fixed disk it may be of convenience. The BIOS write protection setting is overruled by the dip switch on the board.
The option of naming the silicon disk can come into consideration when the CPU board is
equipped with a silicon disk and a hard disk. The name will then decide which one is the
booting device as a PC is only able to boot from the A: floppy drive or the C: hard drive
(optionally from a CD-ROM also).
By default the naming is automatically done so that the silicon disk will be C: if no hard
disk is present and D: if one hard disk is installed. In other words the silicon disk will
become the last disk in the system (any partions, though, will follow after the silicon disk
drive name). This can be changed so that the silicon disk is always C: and the installed
hard drives become D:, E: and so on.
Chapter 13
Software Support Tools 151
SDM Utility
A special utility is available on a separate diskette for re-initializing the silicon disk module. The utility is a DOS program called SDMINIT. The need for re-initializing will be
extremely rare and should only be considered if the silicon disk module for some reason
isnt accessible no more. The procedure for completely deleting a silicon disk and then
make it readable by DOS is described below.
1.
Install the silicon disk as described in the previous section.

Remember to disable the write protection in both the BIOS setup
and with the dip switch.
Turn on power and boot, eg. from a bootable DOS diskette.
Insert the utility disk with SDMINIT.
Run SDMINIT with the option /F, eg A:\>SDMINIT /F.
The silicon disk will now be cleaned and checked. This may take
a while. A 16 MB module cleaning last for about 4 minutes.
If no problems are reported the silicon disk will now be deleted
and DOS formatted.
Reboot the computer to register the re-initialized silicon disk.
Now the silicon disk will be at your service.

Error Messages
Two error messages may appear after checking the silicon disk in the boot process:
Error: Silicon disk not low formatted or invalid
If this message is displayed when the silicon disk is found, the silicon disk doesnt contain
the initial information as expected. To fix this problem you need to perform a low level format of the disk as described in a previous section. If the error message occurs again then
the silicon disk module is defect.
Error: Silicon disk out of space
This message will be seen in the case that there is no more room for BIOS use on the silicon disk which is not the same as the amount of free space in DOS. The cause is that all
blocks in the flash devices reserved for bad blocks are used. To rescue data the silicon disk
may be switched into write protected mode. Then the data can be copied to another device.
The module might be fixed by a low level formatting, but probably this will also show a lot
of bad blocks, so the module is actually worn out.

13.3 Special BIOS (optional)

System Setup
The software system contained on the PCI5000 computer board consists in principle of two
parts:
The PC compatible BIOS (AWARD)
The special features support BIOS (optional)
Standard BIOS Setup

See system BIOS Chapter 8.
Special BIOS Setup

The option of setting up the special BIOS features is offered right after the standard BIOS
setup. In the special BIOS setup case the user must press the END key in order to activate
the setup. The initial setup screen is illustrated below:
Special Feature Set-up
Save and Exit
Exit
Entering the Special Feature Set-up will display screen below or sub-set (default values
shown):
Speaker
Display
Watchdog
SDM Write Protection
SDM Drive Name
SW Interrupt
Enabled
Auto
Disabled
Off
Last
Off
The display can be Auto, CRT, LCD, or LCD + CRT. When set on Auto the systems boots
from the settings in the VGA BIOS. LCD select LCD display only, CRT selects CRT only
and LCD + CRT selects the VGA controller to run simultaneously in CRT on LCD. Setting
systems with no monitor to CRT will cause a black LCD screen.
Enabling the watchdog will set the time between service interval to maximum (252 seconds). The watchdog will be enabled just after the initialization of the video controller. The
power supply monitor part of the watchdog will always be running no matter the setting.
The silicon disk (optional PC/104 board) can be write protected by software as well as by
hardware. If it is selected to be protected by software, the protection will be initiated at the
moment, the BIOS extension looks for a silicon disk.
154
Part 3
The naming of the silicon disk can be found as either the very first drive (C:) or the last
drive available. In the first case the silicon disk will always be C:. Any hard drives will
then be D:, E:, etc. In the second case the silicon disk will respond to the next name not
occupied by any fixed drive. In order to boot from a silicon disk the resulting name must
be C:.
The software interrupt number can be selected among 4Fh, 68h, F3h or it can be disabled.
The software interrupt contain BIOS functions to support special features such as the general purpose digital inputs/outputs. If the software interrupt is enabled the interrupt vector
will be initialized just before booting.
The selections is made by moving the inverted bar with the cursor keys and press Page Up
or Page Down for toggling the values. To set all values to the factory settings press F6.
The settings can be saved in CMOS RAM before exit. If the settings are not saved all
changes will be lost.

Chapter 14 Maintenance & Troubleshooting

14.1 Maintenance of the PCI5000
Inside
Fan Filter for Level 3
Level 3 versions are equipped with a fan placed on the lower part of the back (see page
25). The fan brings air into the display compartment and it is covered by a filter. It is recommendable to clean the filter so that dust doesnt build up. The filter can easily be
removed by unscrewing the filter grid. Use soapy water for cleaning. How often this should
be done depends on the environmental factor and for how long periods the PC is switched
on.
Fans:
Must be serviced every 20.000 hours at ambient 25C.
Backlight on LCD Displays

MTBF for the light tubes, of which there are two in most LCD displays, are 5000 hours for
warm cathode tubes and 10000 hours for cold cathode tubes. If a tube is worn out you will
know, but it is more likely that one or both tubes will reach a point where you will notice
light intensity to be unacceptably low. Call your PCI5000 dealer for replacement of tubes.
CMOS battery:
Guaranteed lifetime is at least 8 years at ambient temp. of 25C.
Outside
Cooling System on Level 4
To ensure maximum cooling capacity the heat sink must be kept clean.
Cleaning
Level 3 and 4 including our industrial keyboards are all resistant to most chemicals on their
outside surfaces. You can even use solvents for cleaning if necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to install Windows NT on PCI5000?
1. Remove PCI5000 rear panel.
2. If there are netcards or other cards installed in the backplane please setup IRQ, DMA,
and addresses before installing Windows NT 4. Write down all settings, you might need
it later.
3. Connect the CD-ROM drive and optional a floppy disk drive. Floppy Disk is needed to
make an emergency disk but its not obligate or to install the video drivers. See page 83
in the manual for placement of CD ROM drive data cable connector, page 71 for power
connector BATBACKUP placement, page 86 for placement of floppy disk connector.
Motherboard v1.3 & v1.2: Connect CD-ROM to the secondary IDE on the motherboard
named IDE1 and check that CD-ROM drive is set as master. Motherboard v1.1: CDROM has to be connected to the same cable as the harddisk, remember to set the CD-
158
Part 3
ROM drive as slave. Special IDE-cable for motherboard v1.1 can be supplied be ISC.
4. Turn on the PCI5000 and enter BIOS-setup by pressing DEL during startup.
Change BIOS FEATURES / BOOT SEQUENCE to CDROM, C, A.
Enable floppy disk settings in STANDARD CMOS SETUP if used
SAVE SETTINGS AND EXIT SETUP.
If your PCI5000 can not find the CD ROM Drive please try:
LOAD BIOS DEFAULTS
Change BIOS FEATURES / BOOT SEQUENCE to CDROM, C, A.
Enable floppy disk settings in STANDARD CMOS SETUP if used
Set all IDEs to AUTO in the STANDARD CMOS SETUP menu (CD-ROM will be
found even if set to NONE).
And FLOPPY DRIVE A: to 1.44 3.5.
Use IDE HDD AUTO DETECTION to detect harddisk (and press Y when harddisk is
detected. N for all other IDEs).
SAVE SETTINGS AND EXIT SETUP.
5. Insert NT CD-ROM into CD-ROM drive and reboot.
6. When setting up full HD size in one partition in Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 the system
may hang in blue debug screen (Unexpected_kernel_Mode Trap - see section Trouble
shoot Windows NT 4.0 installation) when memory size is larger than 16MB. To avoid
the problem chose to partition the HD into partitions not larger than 1GB each and
install newest service pack immediately after installation. To make one large HD parti
tion you can only install NT 4.0 with 16MB DRAM. After installation you install the
newest service pack and upgrade your memory. The problem does not exist in Windows
95, 98, and NT 5.0 and is fixed in US service pack 3.
ISC can offer you preinstallation of Windows NT 4.0 with newest service Pack (US ver
sion).
7. Windows NT installation program should now boot directly from CD-ROM. With some
CD-ROMs there could be a delay of 15-60 sec. before it boots from CD-ROM. Now
just follow instructions in the installation manual carefully to install Windows NT 4.0.
Please note that during the installation you will be asked to insert the PCI5000 utility
disk with video drivers. If you do not have a floppy disk attached you may install them
later be entering the display icon in the setting menu. Also please note that during
installation Microsoft will ask you to remove the CD-ROM from the drive before reboot.
This is important or the NT installation will start from the very beginning as the CDROM is set as boot device.
8. When Windows NT is installed and running as preferred enter BIOS-setup again.
LOAD SETUP DEFAULTS.
Disable floppy disk settings in STANDARD CMOS SETUP if removed
SAVE SETTINGS AND EXIT.
This sets back the bootsequence. Turn off the PCI5000 and remove CE-ROM and
Floppy disk.
9. Mount rear panel.

Problem
Solution
When Windows NT 4.0 is installed on a PCI5000 that has more

than 16MB of memory, the following blue screen error may occur:
STOP 0x0000007f (0x00000008, 0x00000000, 0x00000000,
0x00000000)
UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP.
The error is caused by a stack overflow problem. Microsoft has
confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 4.0. This
problem has been corrected in the latest U.S Service Pack for
Windows NT version 4.0. The problem have also seen to be mini
mized if the partition of the HD are made to maximum 1.2GB.
Problem does not exist in Windows 95, 98, and NT 5.0. Order your
NT 4.0 US with newest service pack installation at ISC to avoid the
problem.
Does PCI5000 offer year 2000 compliance?

The PCI5000 is year 2000 compatible. This is ensured by ISC, the BIOS vendor and by the
Real Time Clock vendor.
Self-test procedure for year 2000 compatible:
1. Set the date to 31-12-1999 and the time to 23.59.00 and wait a couple of minutes and
check date and time.
2. Repeat step 1 with the power off when waiting.
3. Set the date to 1-1-2000 and check the date in BIOS DOS/Windows.
PCI5000 also passes the NSTL year 2000 compatibility software.
What does the LED on the motherboard newer that v1.2 indicate?
The PCI5000 v1.2 and v1.3 motherboard is equipped with 9 light emitting diodes indicating on/off status on the powersupplies. In left upper corner respective CPU voltage, +3.3V,
+5V, +12V, -5V, and -12V is monitored. In lower end of the motherboard the status of the 3
isolated voltages is monitored. In normal operation all LEDs should be on.
Why does the battery backup not work in motherboard v1.3?

If installed properly - it should work. Please check if you have updated your controlling
software with system register extension 12Fh register lock/unlock and the files from the
new utility disk.
How to control the PCI5000 battery backup?

If the optional system battery backup described in chapter 9 is mounted the utility software
BAT_ON and BAT_OFF can be used to control manual ON/OFF switching of the battery
backup. The utility is to be found on utility Disk P/N 2280-8006-020. The BAT_ON (writing system register 122 with 01h) will turn battery backup On while the BAT_OFF (writing
system register 122 with 00) will turn battery backup OFF. Those features are used to
control the battery backup i.e. when shutting down the system and may be used under Win-
Chapter 14
dows 95 and Windows NT.

1.
Create a Clean PCI5000-system.

Remove any third party hardware and software products from the PCI5000-system.
Make a Clean Boot Configuration.

Minimize the operating configuration files.
Try to boot the clean system.
4a
If the clean system now is booting and functioning, the problem can be assigned to the
third party products.
Try to reproduce the problem by incrementally installing the third party products in
your PCI5000, and follow the troubleshooting instructions for the product, which
recreated the problem.
4b
If the clean system is not booting or functioning correctly, the problem can be
assigned to the PCI5000 or the mounting of it.
Check the mounting instructions in chapters 2, 3, 4, and previous section specific.
Check your operating environment against the environmental performance in chapters 2, 3, and 4.
If these actions does not solve your problem, please help us to give you a good service, by having the following information handy, when you contact your local dealer:
A filled out copy of the Problem Reporting Form on the next page.
Especially be careful to make a detailed problem description.
A hardcopy of your minimized operating system configuration files.
Your local dealer will determine the actions to be taken!

If 8x19/30/32 font is enabled (XR0F bit 7 = 1) and in mode 0*, 1*, 2*, 3*, 7, 0+, 1+, 2+,
3+ or 7+, the BIOS programs XR24 (Max Scan Line register) to value 12H (19 scan
lines), 1DH (30 scan lines) or 1FH (32 scan lines) depending on the panel height. The
BIOS then loads 8x16 (+ modes) or 8x14 (* modes) font into plane 2 and 8x19/30/32 font
into plane 3. Finally, the BIOS calls function 5CH sub-function 09H (Enable Text Stretching3) to enable text mode stretching.
All Tall Fonts are created by using the 8x16 font table. To create an 8x19 font, scan lines 1,
9 and 12 duplicated; for an 8x30 font, scan lines 2 through 15 are duplicated; for an 8x32
font, every scan line is duplicated. The fonts are duplicated while they are being loaded
into plane 3.

Horizontal Compensation - 5Fh

This sub-function sets the type of horizontal compensation used.
In Flat-Panel mode, the 65554 BIOS uses an 8-dot font, or a 9-dot font if XR55 bit 2 is
programmed to 0. The 65554 BIOS enables Horizontal Text Compression (default) upon
power up (see XR55 value) for a 640x480 Flat-Panel so that the 9-dot font will be compressed to 8 dots. The 9-dot font should be used for horizontal panel sizes of 720 pixels or
