Rockwell Automation 6180 Processor Board (for 6180 Industrial Computers) - Manual (Page 10)

1–2 System Features
The onboard I/O controller provides a real-time clock and CMOS
RAM. You can set the time for the clock and set/clear the system
values stored in CMOS RAM using the BIOS Setup program
described in Chapter 3.
Because the BIOS is stored in flash memory, upgrades are easy. A
utility will be provided on disk to update the BIOS when applicable.
Chapter 2 tells how to run the BIOS Recovery Utility.
The system has 6 slots (3 PCI, 2 ISA, and 1 shared ISA/PCI). The
ATX form factor allows you to add full-length add-in cards in any
slot (see note below). The 6180 Industrial Computer User Manual
tells how to install add-in boards.
Note: Installation of a drive in the lower bay reduces the number of
slots available for full sized cards to 1 ISA, 1 Shared and 3 PCI. In
addition, other slots may be filled by other cards (video - 1 PCI slot
and Keyboard Interface Card - 1 ISA slot).
The PCI Auto-Configuration utility operates with the system Setup
program to allow the insertion or removal of PCI add-in boards to
the system. When you turn on the system after adding a PCI board,
the BIOS automatically configures interrupts, I/O space, and other
parameters. Since PCI add-in boards use the same interrupts as ISA
add-in boards, you must specify the interrupts used by the ISA
boards using the Setup program. See Chapter 3.
If you install an IDE drive in the system, the Setup program
automatically detects and configures the drive for optimum
performance if Configuration Mode is set to Auto. This eliminates
the need to enter the Setup program after installing the IDE drive.
The setup program automatically configures the IDE drive for
Logical Block Addressing (LBA). You can override the setting by
selecting Manual for Configuration mode.
The system allows auto-configuration of Plug and Play ISA cards,
PCI cards, and resource management for legacy ISA cards when
using the ISA Configuration Utility. This utility also supports
Windows 95 plug and play capabilities.
