Special functions Special functions The CPV5000 uses three functions that are designed for use in certain applications. These are: • Watchdog Timer The watchdog timer is a count down timer. When the counter reaches zero, it can set a flag in a register, optionally assert IOCHK (NMI), and optionally perform an SBC reset.
PICMG CompactPCI compliant CompactPCI backplane. Antistatic precautions Take care when handling the CPV5000. The CPV5000 and its active components are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD), and can easily be damaged. Motorola recommends that you use an antistatic Caution wrist strap when handling the CPV5000 and associated components.
Getting Started Before installing the CPV5000 After removing the CPV5000 from its packaging: • Check for obvious physical damage. • Verify that the coin cell battery is in its holder and inserted correctly. • Verify that the CPU fan is connected.
3. Remove any filler panel (or existing CPU board) that might fill that slot. 4. Install the top and bottom edge of the CPV5000 in the guides of the chassis. 5. Ensure that the levers of the two injector/ejectors are in the inward position.
• On powering up, the CPV5000 displays the AMIBIOS revision and then runs a memory test. If the <DEL> key is pressed during the memory test, the CPV5000 will enter the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) setup after completing the memory test.
Getting Started Front panel The CPV5000’s front panel has connectors for keyboard/mouse, SCSI, video, parallel printer, COM1/2, and ethernet. Indicator lights on the front panel display power, hard disk activity, watchdog alarm, and speaker status. Keyboard/Mouse CompactPCI Indicator lights Reset...

Connectors and Components on the CPV5000 CPU speed settings Table 3-2 describes the possible jumper settings for different speed CPUs. Install a shorting block across two pins on each of the four speed configuration jumpers to configure any given speed.
CPU Voltage Settings CPU Voltage Settings J30 has been added to the CPV5000 with the introduction of the AMD processor, because Intel and AMD processors run on different core voltages. If you are using an Intel processor, then you should jumper J30. If you are using an AMD processor, then leave the jumper off.
Connectors and Components on the CPV5000 USB configuration The USB configuration jumper is a two by four jumper block. A four position shorting block is installed to select the USB routing. To maintain signal integrity, the USB signals can be routed to the rear connector. If rear connector routing is selected, no USB devices can be installed on the front connector.

Power On Self-Tests This chapter contains information to help you troubleshoot the system. It describes error reporting methods and suggests appropriate solutions to various problems. American Megatrends Inc. Basic Input/Output System ® (AMIBIOS) provides all IBM standard Power-On Self Test (POST) routines as well as enhanced AMIBIOS POST routines.
Power On Self-Tests BIOS error reporting BIOS errors are reported by a series of beep sounds or when an error message is displayed to the screen. Refer to Table 6-1 for BIOS error reporting information. This section contains information on the following: •...
BIOS error reporting Beep codes Fatal errors, which halt the boot process, are communicated through a series of audible beeps. If AMIBIOS POST can initialize the system video display, it displays the error message on the screen. Displayed error messages, in most cases, allow the system to continue to boot.

The contents of the F0000h memory segment are always copied from the BIOS ROM to system RAM for faster execution.
The settings are Disabled or Enabled. DRAM speed Specify the RAS access speed of the SIMMs installed in the CPV5000 as system memory. The settings are 60 ns or 70 ns. The default is 70 ns. Manual setting is not supported.
WinBIOS Setup types Read burst timing This option is only available in manual DRAM setup. This option controls the read burst timings. The options are x444, x333 and x222. The slowest option is x444. The option x222 is only available for EDO DRAM. Write burst timing This option is only available in manual DRAM setup.
CPU pipelining. This option should be enabled. If this option is disabled, the CPU will not enable memory read/write pipeline modes, this will slow CPV5000 memory performance significantly. Extended cachebility This option should be enabled if the total system DRAM is greater than 64 MB.
This controls the output driver of the SERR# pin. This should be set to Open Drain when used in a PCI system. SERR# duration mode This should be set to Pulse (NMI) for correct CPV5000 operation. Power Management Setup Power Management Setup options are displayed by choosing the power management icon from the WINBIOS Setup main menu.
WinBIOS Setup Video power down mode This option specifies the power management state that the video subsystem enters after the specified period of display inactivity has expired. The settings are: Disabled, Standby, or Suspend. Hard disk power down mode This option specifies the power management state that the hard disk drive enters after the specified period of display inactivity has expired.
WinBIOS Setup types Slow clock ratio This option specifies the speed at which the system clock runs in power saving modes. The settings are expressed as a ratio between the normal clock speed and the power down clock speed. The settings are 1:1, 1:2 (half as fast as normal), 1:4 (the normal power down clock speed), 1:8, 1:16, 1:32, 1:64, or 1:128.
You must also specify the PCI expansion slot where the offboard PCI IDE controller board is installed. If an offboard PCI IDE controller is used, the onboard IDE controller on the CPV5000 is automatically disabled. The settings are: Disabled, Auto, Slot1, Slot2, Slot3, or Slot4.
If Auto is selected, AMIBIOS automatically determines the correct setting for this option. In the AMIBIOS for the EBM3x-PA CPV5000, this option forces IRQ 14 and 15 to a PCI slot on the PCI local bus. This is necessary to support non- compliant PCI IDE adapter boards.
Auto, Enabled, or Disabled. Onboard serial port 1/COM 1 This option enables serial port 1 on the CPV5000 and specifies the base I/O port address for serial port 1. The settings are: Auto, 3F8h, 2F8h, 3E8h, 2E8, or Disabled.
WinBIOS Setup types Onboard serial port 2/COM 2 This option enables serial port 2 on the CPV5000 and specifies the base I/O port address for serial port 2. The settings are: Auto, 3F8h, 2F8h, 3E8h, 2E8, or Disabled. Onboard parallel port This option enables the parallel port on the CPV5000 and specifies the parallel port base I/O port address.
WinBIOS Setup Onboard IDE This option specifies the onboard IDE controller channels that will be used. The settings are Primary, Secondary, Both, or Disabled. Utility menu There are two icons in the utility menu. These icons are: • Detect IDE •...
WinBIOS Setup types Security Three icons appear in the WINBIOS security Setup screen. These icons are: • Supervisor • User • Anti-Virus Supervisor and user icons The Supervisor and the User icons configure password support. If you use the Supervisor and User passwords, the Supervisor password must be set first. Two levels of passwords The system can be configured so that all users must enter a password every time the system boots, or when WINBIOS Setup is executed, using either the...
Remember the password When the password is changed, keep a record of the new password. If you forget the password, the only method of recovery is to power the CPV5000 down and remove the battery for one minute. Reinsert the battery before applying power to the CPV5000.
WinBIOS Setup types Anti-Virus When this icon is selected from the Security section of the WINBIOS Setup main menu, AMIBIOS issues a warning when any program or virus issues a Disk Format command or attempts to write to the boot sector of the hard disk drive.
WinBIOS Setup Default The icons in this section permit you to select a group of settings for all WINBIOS Setup options. You can use these icons to quickly set system configuration parameters. You can use these icons to choose a group of settings that have a better chance of working when the system is having configuration- related problems.
