Warranty
Each board is tested carefully and thoroughly before being shipped. If, however, problems should
occur during the operation, please check your user specific settings of all boards included in your
system. This is often the source of the fault. If a board is defective, it can be sent to your supplier
for repair. Please take care of the following steps:
1. The board returned should have the factory default settings since a test is only
possible with these settings.
2. In order to repair your board as fast as possible we require some additional
information from you. Please fill out the attached Repair Form and include it with the
defective board.
3. If possible the board will be upgraded to the latest version without additional cost.
4. Upon receipt of the board please be aware that your user specific settings were
changed during the test.
Within the warranty period the repair is free of charge as long as the warranty conditions are
observed. Because of the high test expenditure you will be charged with the test cost if no fault is
found. Repair after the warranty period will be charged.
This JUMPtec®product is warranted against defects in material and workmanship for the
warranty period from the date of shipment. During the warranty period JUMPtec®will at its option
either repair or replace defective products.
For warranty service or repair the product must be returned to a service facility designated by
JUMPtec®.
The foregoing warranty shall not apply to defects resulting from improper or inadequate
maintenance or handling by buyer, unauthorized modification or misuse, operation outside of the
product´s environmental specifications or improper installation or maintenance.
JUMPtec®will not be responsible for any defects or damages to other products not supplied by
JUMPtec®that are caused by a faulty JUMPtec®product.

Introduction
The littleMONSTER integrates the complete functionality of an pentium motherboard with CPU,
System-BIOS, 8 Mbyte to 128MByte DRAM, keyboard-controller, real time clock, onboard VGA
with LCD interface and additional peripheral functions like COM1, COM2, LPT1, floppy-interface,
IDE-harddisk-interface, watchdog and Ethernet access. The system runs with CPU clock speeds
from 33MHz to 233MHz and supports Intel MMX technology.
The littleMONSTER is designed in the new PISA format, which provides the functionality of the
PCI and ISA bus on one well defined bus. For connecting the backplane with the PISA board, only
one EISA like edge card connector is used.
The pinout of the upper row of the PISA bus connector correspond to the pinout of the ISA bus
connector, the lower row provides PCI signals. Therefore designing backplanes with up to four
PCI slots and additional ISA slots is very easy. To drive large ISA backplanes, a bus buffer is
present on the littleMONSTER.
Please refer to the appendix for detailed pin configuration.

BIOS-Description
The Standard AMI-BIOS is located in the Flash EPROM onboard. This device has 8 bit wide
access. 16 bit access is enabled by the shadow RAM feature (Standard).
RTC-CMOS setup menu
During boot sequence the CMOS setup can be entered by pressing the <DEL>-key while the
memory test is in progress.
8 lines of text are displayed on the main setup screen.

Date/Time
Select the Date/Time option to change the date or time. The current date and time are displayed.
Floppy Drive A, B
Choose the Floppy Drive A or B to specify the floppy drive type. The settings are 360 KB 5¼”, 1.2
MB 5¼”, 720 KB 3½”, 1.44 MB 3½”, or 2.88 MB 3½”.
Pri Master, Pri Slave, Sec Master, Sec Slave
Enter the correct settings for the attached mass storage drive. Possible settings are Not Installed,
1-46 (predefined types), User, AUTO, CDROM, FLOPTICAL
Configuring an MFM Drive: If configuring an old MFM hard disk drive, you must know the drive
parameters (number of heads, number of cylinders, number of sectors, the starting write
precompensation cylinder, and drive capacity). Choose Type and choose the appropriate hard
disk drive type (1 - 46). The old MFM hard drive types are listed on page 11. If the drive
17

parameters of your MFM drive do not match any drive type listed on page 11, select User in the
Type field and enter the drive parameters on the screen that appears.
User-Defined Drive: If you are configuring a SCSI drive or an MFM, RLL, ARLL, or ESDI drive
with drive parameters that do not match drive types 1-46, you can select the User in the Type
field. You must then enter the drive parameters on the screen that appears. The drive parameters
include:
⦁ Size (drive capacity, calculated automatically)
⦁ Cyln (number of cylinders),
⦁ Head (number of heads),
⦁ WPcom (starting write precompensation cylinder)
⦁ Sec (number of sectors)
Parameter Description
Type The number for a drive with certain identification parameters.
Cylinders The number of cylinders in the disk drive.
Heads The number of heads.
Write
Precompensation
The size of a sector gets progressively smaller as the track diameter diminishes. Yet each sector must still hold
512 bytes. Write precompensation circuitry on the hard disk compensates for the physical difference in sector size
by boosting the write current for sectors on inner tracks. This parameter is the track number where write
precompensation begins.
Landing Zone This number is the cylinder location where the heads will normally park when the system is shut down.
Sectors The number of sectors per track. MFM drives have 17 sectors per track. RLL drives have 26 sectors per track.
ESDI drives have 34 sectors per track. SCSI and IDE drives have more sectors per track.
Size The formatted capacity of the drive is (Number of heads) x (Number of cylinders) x (Number of sectors per track) x
(512 bytes per sector)
Configuring IDE Drives: If the hard disk drive to be configured is an IDE drive, select the option
AUTO and press <ENTER> to detect all drive parameters automatically.
AMIBIOS automatically detects the IDE drive parameters (including ATAPI CD-ROM drives) and
displays them. You can set the parameters manually if you are absolutely certain that you know
the correct IDE drive parameters.
Set LBA Mode to On to enable support for IDE drives with capacities greater than 528 MB.
Set Blk Mode to On to support IDE drives that use Block Mode.
Choose PIO Mode to select the IDE Programmed I/O mode. PIO programming also works with
ATAPI CD-ROM drives. The settings are Auto, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5. Use Auto to allow AMIBIOS to
automatically find the PIO mode that the IDE drive being configured uses. If you select 0-5 you
must make absolutely certain that you are selecting the PIO mode supported by the IDE drive
being configured.
Set 32Bit Mode to On to support IDE drives that permit 32-bit accesses.
Configuring a CD-ROM Drive: Select the appropriate drive (Pri Master, Pri Slave, Sec Master, or
Sec Slave). Choose the Type parameter and select CDROM. You can boot the computer from a
CD-ROM drive. You can also choose Auto and let AMIBIOS automatically set the correct drive
parameters.

Set this option to Enabled to instruct AMIBIOS to boot quickly when the computer is powered on.
This option replaces the former Above 1 MB Memory Test Advanced Setup option. The settings
are:
Setting Description
Disabled AMIBIOS tests all system memory. AMIBIOS waits up to 40 seconds for a READY signal from the IDE hard disk drive.
AMIBIOS waits for 0.5 seconds after sending a RESET signal to the IDE drive to allow the IDE drive time to get ready
again. AMIBIOS checks for a <DEL> key press and runs Setup if the key has been pressed.
Enabled AMIBIOS does not test system memory above 1 MB.
AMIBIOS does not wait up to 40 seconds for a READY signal from the IDE hard disk drive. If a READY signal is not
received immediately from the IDE drive, AMIBIOS does not configure that drive. AMIBIOS does not wait for 0.5 seconds
after sending a RESET signal to the IDE drive to allow the IDE drive time to get ready again.
You cannot run Setup at system boot, because there is no delay for the Hit <Del> to run Setup message.
The Optimal default setting is Enabled. The Fail Safe default setting is Disabled.
BootUp Num-Lock

the arrow keys on both the numeric keypad and the keyboard. The settings are On or Off. The
