Integrated circuits on computer boards are sensitive to static electricity.
To avoid damaging chips from electrostatic discharge, observe the
following precautions:
Do not remove boards or integrated circuits from their anti-static
packaging until you are ready to install them.
Before handling a board or integrated circuit, touch an unpainted portion
of the system unit chassis for a few seconds. This helps to discharge any
static electricity on your body.
Wear a wrist-grounding strap, available from most electronic component
stores, when handling boards and components. Fasten the ALLIGATOR
clip of the strap to the end of the shielded wire lead from a grounded
object. Please wear and connect the strap before handle the HS-6251 to
ensure harmlessly discharge any static electricity through the strap.
Please use an anti-static pad when putting down any components or
parts or tools outside the computer. You may also use an anti-static bag
instead of the pad. Please inquire from your local supplier for additional
assistance in finding the necessary anti-static gadgets.
NOTE:
DO NOT TOUCH THE BOARD OR ANY OTHER SENSITIVE
COMPONENTS WITHOUT ALL NECESSARY ANTI-STATIC
PROTECTION.
Chapter 1
General Description
The HS-6251 is a VIA VT8606 chipset-based board designed for
PCI-ISA Bus Socket 370 Intel® CeleronTM (100MHz FSB/1GHz)/
(133MHz
FSB/1GHz)/TualatinTM
(100MHz
CoppermineTM
FSB/1.3GHz) and VIA C3 (133MHz FSB/1GHz) CPU. The combination
of these features makes the HS-6251 an ideal all-in-one industrial
single board computer. Additional features include an enhanced I/O
with CRT/Panel, LAN, audio, and COM port interface.
Its onboard ATA/33/66/100 connected to IDE drive interface
architecture allows the HS-6251 to support data transfers of 33, 66 or
100MB/sec. for each IDE drive connection. Designed with the VIA
VT8606 core logic chipset, the board supports all CeleronTM (100MHz
FSB/1GHz)/CoppermineTM (133MHz FSB/1GHz)/TualatinTM (100MHz
FSB/1.3GHz) and VIA C3 (133MHz FSB/1GHz) CPU. The display
controller is VIA VT8606 supporting CRT/Panel displays with 1280 x
1024 resolution.
For suitable plug into any size system with 8/16/32-bit ISA and/or PCI
slots operation, the board’s advanced PCI-ISA bus add-on feature
allows user to easily obtain both ISA's 16-bit and PCI's 32-bit full set
signals from a half size PCI-ISA slot. System memory is also sufficient
with the one DIMM socket that can support up to 512MB.
1
Additional onboard connectors include two advanced USB and IrDA
ports providing faster data transmission, a DOS-compatible
DiskOnChip™ socket with a maximum capacity of 288MB, and one
external RJ-45 connector for 10/100 Base-TX Ethernet use.
To ensure the reliability in an unmanned or standalone system, the
Watchdog Timer (WDT) onboard HS-6251 is designed with pure
hardware that does not need the arithmetical functions of a real-time
clock chip. If any program causes unexpected halts to the system, the
onboard Watchdog Timer (WDT) will automatically reset the CPU or
generate an interrupt to resolve such condition.

3.22 Watchdog Timer
There are three access cycles of Watch-Dog Timer as Enable, Refresh
and Disable. The Enable cycle proceeds via READ PORT 443H
whereas the Disable cycle proceeds via READ PORT 045H. A
continued Enable cycle after a first Enable cycle means Refresh.
22
Once the Enable cycle is active, a Refresh cycle is requested before
the time-out period. This restarts counting of the WDT period. When
the time counting goes over the period preset of WDT, it will assume
that the program operation is abnormal. A System Reset signal to
re-start or a NMI cycle to the CPU transpires when such error happens.
Jumper JP4 is used to select the function of Watchdog Timer.

NOTE: If you want to use WDT function, please Disabled ACPI in BIOS

The Watchdog Timer is disabled after the system Power-On. It can be
enabled via an Enable cycle and reading the control port (443H), or via
a Refresh cycle and reading the control port (443H), or via a Disable
cycle and reading the disable control port (045H).
After an Enable cycle of WDT, user must immediately execute a
Refresh cycle to WDT before its period setting comes to an end every
1, 2, 10, 20, 110 or 220 seconds. If the Refresh cycle does not activate
before WDT period cycle, the onboard WDT architecture will issue a
Reset or NMI cycle to the system. The Watchdog Timer controls three
I/O ports.

Chapter 4
AMI BIOS Setup
The HS-6251 uses AMI BIOS for the system configuration. The AMI
BIOS setup program is designed to provide the maximum flexibility in
configuring the system by offering various options that could be
selected for end-user requirements. This chapter is written to assist
you in the proper usage of these features.
4.1
Starting Setup
The AMI BIOS 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:
1. By pressing <Del> immediately after switching the system on, or
2. 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
27
4.2
Using Setup
In general, you use the arrow keys to highlight items, press <Enter> to
select, use the <PageUp> and <PageDown> keys to change entries,
press <F1> for help and press <Esc> to quit. The following table
provides more detail about how to navigate in the Setup program using
the keyboard.

Advanced Chipset Setup
This section allows you to configure the system based on the specific
features of the installed chipset. This chipset manages bus speeds and
the access to the system memory resources, such as DRAM and the
external cache. It also coordinates the communications between the
conventional ISA and PCI buses. It must be stated that these items
should never be altered. The default settings have been chosen
because they provide the best operating conditions for your system.
You might consider and make any changes only if you discover that the
data has been lost while using your system.

PCI / Plug and Play Setup
This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. PCI, or
Personal Computer Interconnect, is a system that allows I/O devices to
operate at speeds nearing the speed the CPU itself uses when

Peripheral Setup
The IDE hard drive controllers can support up to two separate hard
drives. These drives have a master/slave relationship that is
determined by the cabling configuration used to attach them to the
controller. Your system supports two IDE controllers--a primary and a
secondary--so you can install up to four separate hard disks.
PIO means Programmed Input/Output. Rather than having the BIOS
issue a series of commands to affect the transfer to or from the disk
drive, PIO allows the BIOS to tell the controller what it wants and then
let the controller and the CPU perform the complete task by them. This
is much simpler and more efficient (also faster).

You can set either supervisor or user password, or both of then. The
differences between are:
supervisor password: can enter and change the options of the setup
menus.
user password: just can only enter but do not have the right to change the
options of the setup menus.
When you select this function, the following message will appear at the
center of the screen to assist you in creating a password.
ENTER PASSWORD:
Type the password, up to eight characters in length, and press
<Enter>. The password typed now will clear any previously entered
password from CMOS memory. You will be asked to confirm the
password. Type the password again and press <Enter>. You may
also press <Esc> to abort the selection and not enter a password.

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