2.7GB/s under DDR333, 2GB/s under DDR266 and 1GB/s under PC 133 in order to sustain
the bandwidth demand from host processor, as well as the multi I/O masters and AGP
masters. Delivering a high performance data transfer to/from memory subsystem from/to
the Host processor, the integrated graphic engine or external AGP master, or the I/O bus
masters. The memory controller also supports the Suspend to RAM function by retaining
the CKE# pins asserted in ACPI S3 state in which only AUX source deliver power. The
SiS651 adopts the Shared Memory Architecture, eliminating the need and thus the cost of
the frame buffer memory by organizing the frame buffer in the system memory. The frame
buffer size can be allocated from 8MB to 64MB.
The Integrated GUI features a high performance 3D accelerator with 2 Pixel / 4 Texture,
and a 128 bit 2D accelerator with 1T pipeline BITBLT engine. It also features a Video

EBC-5710/5710V
Two separate buses, Host-t-GUI in the width of 64 bit, and GUI-t-Memory Controller in the
width of 128 bit are devised to ensure concurrency of Host-t-GUI streaming, and GUI-t-MC
streaming. In PC133, DDR266 or DDR333 memory subsystem, the 128 bit GUI-t-MC bus
will attain the AGP4X, AGP 8X equivalent or higher texture transfer rate, respectively. The
Memory Controller mainly comprises the Memory Arbiter, the M-data/M-Command Queues,
and the Memory Interface. The Memory Arbiter arbitrates a plenty of memory access
requests from the GUI or AGP controller, Host Controller, and I/O bus masters based on a
default optimized priority list with the capability of dynamically prioritizing the I/O bus master
requests in a bid to offering privileged service to 1) the isochronous downstream transfer to
guarantee the min. latency & timely delivery, or 2) the PCI master upstream transfer to curb
the latency within the maximum tolerant period of 10us. Prior to the memory access
requests pushed into the M-data queue, any command compliant to the paging mechanism
is generated and pushed into the M-CMD queue. The M-data/M-CMD Queues further
orders and forwards these queuing requests to the Memory Interface in an effort to utilizing
the memory bandwidth to its utmost by scheduling the command requests in the
background when the data requests streamlines in the foreground.

Setting Jumpers
You can configure your board to match the needs of your application by setting jumpers. A
jumper is the simplest kind of electric switch.
It consists of two metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected by a plastic cover) that
slides over the pins to connect them. To “close” a jumper you connect the pins with the clip.
To “open” a jumper you remove the clip. Sometimes a jumper will have three pins, labeled 1,
2, and 3. In this case, you would connect either two pins.
The jumper settings are schematically depicted in this manual as follows:
A pair of needle-nose pliers may be helpful when working with jumpers.
If you have any doubts about the best hardware configuration for your application, contact
your local distributor or sales representative before you make any changes.

Signal Description – Serial Port 2 in RS-485 Mode (CN7 / Pin 11~20)
This differential signal pair sends and receives serial data to the communication link. The
mode of this differential signal pair is controlled through the RTS register of Serial Port 2. Set
the RTS register of the Serial Port 2 to LOW for transmitting, HIGH for receiving.
Warning: Do not select a mode different from the one used by the connected peripheral,
as this may damage CPU board and/or peripheral.
The transmitter drivers in the port are short circuit protected by a thermal
protection circuit. The circuit disables the drivers when the die temperature
reach 150 °C.
RS-422 mode is typically used in point to point communication. Data and control
signal pairs should be terminated in the receiver end with a resistor matching the
cable impedance (typ. 100-120 Ω). The resistors could be placed in the
connector housing.
RS-485 mode is typically used in multi drop applications, where more than 2
units are communicating. The data and control signal pairs should be terminated
in each end of the communication line with a resistor matching the cable
impedance (typical 100-120 Ω). Stubs to substations should be avoided.

AWARD BIOS Setup
Starting Setup
The AwardBIOS™ 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.
While the BIOS is in control, the Setup program can be activated in one of two ways:
By pressing <Del> immediately after switching the system on, or
By pressing the <Del> key when the following message appears briefly at the bottom of the
screen during the POST (Power On Self Test).
Press DEL to enter SETUP
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 pressing the "RESET" button on the
system case. You may also restart by simultaneously pressing <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and <Delete>
keys. If you do not press the keys at the correct time and the system does not boot, an
error message will be displayed and you will again be asked to.
Press F1 To Continue, DEL to enter SETUP

Advanced Chipset Features

EBC-5710/5710V User’s Manual 61
User’s Manual
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. The only time you might consider
making any changes would be if you discovered that data was being lost while using your
system.
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.
Advanced DRAM Control 1
This feature allows you to setup the timing & driving about DRAM.
Prefetch Caching
This Item allows you to setup the Prefetch Caching function.

The Choice: Disabled, Enabled.
System BIOS Cacheable
This feature is only valid when the system BIOS is shadowed. It enables or disables the
caching of the system BIOS ROM at F0000h-FFFFFh via the L2 cache. This greatly speeds
up accesses to the system BIOS. However, this does not translate into better system
performance because the OS does not need to access the system BIOS much.
The Choice: Disabled, Enabled.

Appendix C: AWARD BIOS Error Message
During the power-on self test (POST), the BIOS either sounds a beep code or displays a
message when it detects a correctable error.
Following is a list of POST messages for the ISA BIOS kernel. Specific chipset ports and
BIOS extensions may include additional messages. An error message may be followed by
a prompt to press F1 to continue or press DEL to enter Setup.
Beep
Currently the only beep code indicates that a video error has occurred and the BIOS cannot
initialize the video screen to display any additional information. This beep code consists of a
single long beep followed by two short beeps.
BIOS ROM Checksum Error – System Halted
The checksum of the BIOS code in the BIOS chip is incorrect, indicating the BIOS code
may have become corrupt. Contact your system dealer to replace the BIOS.
CMOS Battery Failed
CMOS battery is no longer functional. Contact your system dealer for a replacement
battery.
CMOS Checksum Error – Defaults Loaded
Checksum of CMOS is incorrect, so the system loads the default equipment configuration.
A checksum error may indicate that CMOS has become corrupt. This error may have been
caused by a weak battery. Check the battery and replace if necessary.
CPU at nnnn
Displays the running speed of the CPU.
Display Switch Is Set Incorrectly.
The display switch on the motherboard can be set to either monochrome or color. This
message indicates the switch is set to a different setting than indicated in Setup. Determine
which setting is correct, and then either turn off the system and change the jumper, or enter
Setup and change the VIDEO selection.
Press ESC to Skip Memory Test
The user may press Esc to skip the full memory test.

Floppy Disk(s) Fail
Cannot find or initialize the floppy drive controller or the drive. Make sure the controller is
installed correctly. If no floppy drives are installed, be sure the Diskette Drive selection in
Setup is set to NONE or AUTO.
Hard Disk(s) Initializing; Please Wait a Moment...
Some hard drives require extra time to initialize.
Hard Disk(s) Install Failure
Cannot find or initialize the hard drive controller or the drive. Make sure the controller is
installed correctly. If no hard drives are installed, be sure the Hard Drive selection in Setup
is set to NONE.
Hard Disk(s) Diagnosis Fail
The system may run specific disk diagnostic routines. This message appears if one or more
hard disks return an error when the diagnostics run.
Keyboard Error or No Keyboard Present
Cannot initialize the keyboard. Make sure the keyboard is attached correctly and no keys
are pressed during POST. To purposely configure the system without a keyboard, set the
error halt condition in Setup to HALT ON ALL, BUT KEYBOARD. The BIOS then ignores
the missing keyboard during POST.
Keyboard Is Locked Out – Unlock The Key
This message usually indicates that one or more keys have been pressed during the
keyboard tests. Be sure no objects are resting on the keyboard.
Memory Test
This message displays during a full memory test, counting down the memory areas being
tested.
Memory Test Fail
If POST detects an error during memory testing, additional information appears giving
specifics about the type and location of the memory error.
Override Enabled – Defaults Loaded
If the system cannot boot using the current CMOS configuration, the BIOS can override the
current configuration is a set of BIOS defaults designed for the most stable, minimalperformance system operations.

Primary Slave Hard Disk Fail
POST detects an error in the secondary master IDE hard drive.
Resuming from Disk, Press TAB to Show POST Screen
Award offers a save-to-disk feature for notebook computers. This message may appear
when the operator re-starts the system after a save-to-disk shut-down. See the Press
TAB ... message above for a description of this feature.
Secondary Master Hard Disk Fail
POST detects an error in the primary slave IDE hard drive.
Secondary Slave Hard Disk Fail
POST detects an error in the secondary slave IDE hard drive.
