PROTECTION.
You should follow the steps as following to protect the board in against the
static electric discharge whenever you handle the board:
1. Please use a grounding wrist strap on whoever needs to handle the
HS-4000. Well clip the ALLIGATOR clip of the strap to the end of the
shielded wire lead from a grounded object. Please put on and connect the
strap before handle the HS-4000 for harmlessly discharge any static
electricity through the strap.
2. Pleaseuseanti-static pad for put any components or parts or tools on the
pad whenever you work on them outside the computer. You may also in
usetheanti-staticbaginsteadthepad.Please ask from your local supplier in
help up your necessary parts on anti-static requirement.

8
2.2 Caution on Unpacking and Before Installation
First of all, please follow with all necessary steps of section 2.1 in protection
the HS-4000 from electricity discharge. With refer to section 1.3, please check
the delivery package again with following steps:
1. Unpacking the HS-4000, keep well storage of all packing material, manual
and diskette etc. if has.
2. Is there any components lose or drop from the board? DO NOT
INSTALL IF HAPPENED.
3. Is there any visual damaged of the board? DO NOT INSTALL IF
HAPPENED.
4. Wellcheck from youroptionalparts (i.e. CPU,SRAM,DRAM, ROM-Disk
etc.) for completed setting all necessary jumpers setting to jumper pin-set
and CMOS setup correctly. Please also reference to all information of
jumpers setting in this manual.
5. Well check from your external devices (i.e. Add-On-Card, Driver Type etc.)
forcompletedadd-in or connection and CMOS setup correctly. Please also
reference to all information of connector connection in this manual.
6. Please keep all necessary manual and diskette in a good condition for your
necessary re-installation if you change your Operating System or whatever

with access time should be 70 n-second or faster.
The HS-4000 provides two banks for memory installation by SIMM RAM module
on card. The banks are designated as Bank0 and Bank1. See thefigure on section 2.3

2.11 Watch-Dog Timer
TherearethreeaccesscyclesofWatch-Dog Timer as Enable, Refresh and Disable. The
Enable cycle should proceed by READ PORT 443H. The Disable cycle should
proceed by READ PORT 043H. A continue Enable cycle after a first Enable cycle
means Refresh.
Once if the Enable cycle activity, a Refresh cycle is request before the time-out period
for restart counting the WDT Timer's period. Otherwise, it will assume that the
program operation is abnormal when the time counting over the period preset of
WDTTimer.ASystemResetsignaltostartagainora NMI cycle to the CPU comes if
over.
The JP21 is using for select the active function of watch-dog timer in disable the
watch-dog timer, or presetting the watch-dog timer activity at the reset trigger, or
presetting the watch-dog timer activity at the NMI trigger.

The Watch-dog timer is disabled after the system Power-On. The watch-dog timer
can be enabled by a Enable cycle with reading the control port (443H), a Refresh cycle
with reading the control port (443H) and a Disable cycle by reading the Watch-dog
timerdisable controlport (043H). Aftera Enable cycle of WDT,user must constantly
proceed a Refresh cycle to WDT before its period setting comes ending of every 1, 2,
10, 20, 110 or120 seconds. If the Refresh cycle does not active before WDT period
cycle, the on board WDT architecture will issue a Reset or NMI cycle to the system.
The Watch-Dog Timer is controlled by two I/O ports.
443H I/O Read The Enable cycle.
443H I/O Read The Refresh cycle.
043H I/O Read The Disable cycle.

2.12 VGA Controller
The C&T 655xx family supports a wide variety of monochrome and color
Single-Panel, Single-Drive (SS) and Dual-Panel, Dual Drive (DD) standard and
high-res passive STN and active matrix TFT/MIN LCD, and EL panels. For
monochrome panels, up to 64 gray scales are supported. Up to 4096 different colors
canbe displayed onpassive STN LCDsand up to16 M colors on 24-bit active matrix
LCDs.
The HS-4000 uses C&T 65550 chipset. Provides 2.0 mm pitch 44-pin on-board
internal connector for flat panel connection; and a external DB15 analogy R.G.B.
output connector for CRT monitor. By BIOS setup, user may use one of the display
devices or both. Please use at the same resolution when both display. Please contact
with your dealer if connection to a new specification flat panel.
The HS-4000 offers a variety of programmable features to optimize display quality.
Vertical centering and stretching are provided for handling modes with less than 480
lines on 480 -line panels. Horizontal and vertical stretching capabilities are also
available for both text and graphics modes for optimal display of VGA text and
graphics modes on 800x600 and 1024x768 panels.

2.13 DiskOnChip?Address Setting
The HS-4000 provides a U8 socket for install the DiskOnChip?module.
A JP14 may select the starting memory address of the DiskOnChip?

have another extra memory devices in the system with the same memory,
neither the HS-4000 nor the extra memory devices will function normally.

TheD.O.C. may formattingas driver C:or driver A:.User may alsoeasily uses
the DOS's commands such as FORMAT, SYS, COPY, XCOPY, DISCOPY
and DISKCOMP etc. This is means that the D.O.C. may uses as driver-A if
