4.9.1 Normal Mode
This is the factory default position the jumper should be in for normal operation of the motherboard.
4.9.2 Configure Mode
The Configure mode forces the BIOS into Setup with the manufacturer defaults loaded. The mode
should be returned to normal before re-starting.
4.9.3 Recovery Mode
The Recovery mode expects a recovery disk in floppy disk drive A and will wait until one is found
before performing the recovery operation.
4.10 Update and Recovery Diskette
4.10.1 Update Diskette
The upgrade process requires two files:
• The new BIOS file (e.g., newbios.bin)
• The upgrade utility (awdflash.exe).
Although it may be possible to use different media for the files, this manual assumes that you are
using a floppy disk. Prepare for the upgrade process as follows:
• Create a bootable floppy disk.
• Transfer the two Award files listed above onto the diskette.
• Check and configure the BIOS write-protection jumper.
You are now ready to start the upgrade process.
CAUTION
Do not interrupt the upgrade program while it is running! Interrupting the program leaves the
system without BIOS and renders the system unusable. If the power goes off during the few
seconds that the program is running, the system will be left without a working BIOS and it will be
necessary to install a correctly programmed flash EPROM.
4.10.2 Recovery Diskette
The recovery diskette should be used to recover a system BIOS when the motherboard no longer
operates after a failed BIOS update operation. The process is described below.
• Create a bootable floppy disk as the Update section.
• Create a AUTOEXEC.BAT and following command included ‘AWDFLASH ****.BIN /py/sn/wb/r’
• Check and configure the operation mode jumper to recovery mode.
4.11 Tamper Detection
When detecting the tamper signal low, BIOS can be configured to display a warning message or to
require a password at the next boot. Since the lithium cell powers the logic, the tamper detection
continues to operate even if the board is un-powered.
