Introduction
Welcome to the ROCKY-3782EVS Pentium® III, Celeron
Single Board Computer. The ROCKY-3782EVS board is a
PICMG form factor board, which comes equipped with high
performance Pentium® III, Celeron™, VIA C3® Processor and
advanced high performance multi-mode I/O, designed for the
system manufacturers, integrators, or VARs that want to provide
all the performance, reliability, and quality at a reasonable price.
In addition, the ROCKY-3782EVS provides on chip VGA. The
VGA which provides up to 1600x1200 resolution. The VGA
memory is share main memory.
An advanced high performance super AT I/O chip – ITE
IT8712F is used in the ROCKY-3782EVS board. Both on-chip
UARTs are compatible with the NS16C550. The parallel port
and IDE interface are compatible with IBM PC/AT architecture's.
ROCKY-3782EVS uses Intel 82559 Fast Ethernet Multifunction
PCI Controller as LAN controller. The 82559 is a fully integrated
10BASE-T/100BASE-TX LAN solution with high performance
networking functions and low power features.
ROCKY-3782EVS uses the advanced INTEL Chipset,810E
which is 100% LPC/PCI software compatible chipset.with PCI
2.2 standard.

BIOS Setup
4.1 Introduction
This chapter discusses the Setup program built into the BIOS. The
Setup program allows users to configure the system. This configuration
is then stored in battery-backed CMOS RAM so that it retains the Setup
information while the power is off.
4.2 Starting Setup
The BIOS is immediately active when you turn on the computer. 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
26
4.3 Using Setup
In general, you can 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 details about how to navigate in the Setup program using the
keyboard.
Key Function
Up Arrow Move to the previous item

↑↓←→Move Enter: Select +/-/PU/PD: Value F10:Save ESC: Exit
F1:General Help
F5:Previous Values F6:Fail-safe defaults F7:Optimized Defaults
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.
40
DRAM Settings
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.
SDRAM CAS Latency Time
When synchronous DRAM is installed, the number of clock cycles of
CAS latency depends on the DRAM timing.
The Choice: 2, 3
SDRAM Cycle Time Tras/Trc
Select the number of SCLKs for an access cycle.
The Choice: 5/7, 6/8.
SDRAM RAS-to-CAS Delay
This field lets you insert a timing delay between the CAS and RAS
strobe signals, used when DRAM is written to, read from, or refreshed.
Fast gives faster performance; and Slow gives more stable performance.
This field applies only when synchronous DRAM is installed in the
system.
The Choice: 2, 3.
SDRAM RAS Precharge Time
If an insufficient number of cycles is allowed for the RAS to accumulate
its charge before DRAM refresh, the refresh may be incomplete and the
DRAM may fail to retain data. Fast gives faster performance; and Slow
gives more stable performance. This field applies only when
synchronous DRAM is installed in the system.
