I. INTENT:

To provide a standardized procedure for the proper set up of the BIOS and jumper settings on the
Nexcom 570VL and Nexcom 570 Passive Backplane (P/B) Industrial CPU Board.

II. SCOPE:

This document is specific to the 007-3003-008 Nexcom 570VL and the 007-3003-011 Nexcom 570 Pentium
Socket 7 CPU Boards.

III. PROCEDURE:

A Jumper Configuration

1. Remove the CPU Board from its packaging and visually inspect it for any damage.

2. Configure the jumpers as follows.

d. CMOS parameters marked with an asterisk (*) may not be present in the CMOS of the Board,
depending on what version of CMOS the board has. If the parameter is present, set it as
indicated; otherwise ignore the parameter in the list.

e. Use arrow keys to select “Standard CMOS Setup”, press Enter key

f. Set the Primary Master hard drive parameters as follows. For a list of the approved hard drives
and their proper parameters see document 757-4002-166.

1) If the hard drive is less than 500MB or if the software is older and has cylinder and sector
restriction less than 500 MB:

a) Enter into the “Standard CMOS Setup” screen.

b) Change the Primary Master Type parameter to User.
c) Change the Primary Master Mode to Normal.
d) Set the cylinders, heads and sectors from the list in document 757-4002-166
(CAD# 8577).

2) If the hard drive is greater than 500MB and the software does not require it to be setup for
less than 500MB then the LBA mode must be used.

a) Enter into the “Standard CMOS Setup” screen.

b) Change the Primary Master Type parameter to User.
c) Change the Primary Master Mode to Normal.

 757-4002-300

d) Set the cylinders, heads and sectors from the list in document 757-4002-166.
e) Change the Primary Master Mode to LBA. The values in the cylinders, heads,
and sectors may change. These new numbers are derived by the CMOS and will
still work OK.

g. Primary Slave and both Secondary drives should be set to NONE.

The following table is a list of the remaining parameters for the Standard CMOS Setup.
