General Introduction

This chapter gives background information regarding the DS-370 series.

1.1 Introduction

DS-370 is an ideal digital signage player because it provides a system platform that is not only compact, but also cost effective. For digital signage applications, this device delivers a high graphics performance and energy saving benefits.

DS-370 is powered by an Intel ^® Celeron ^® J1900 quad-core processor, supports 3 display output interfaces (HDMI, DP++, and VGA), and can provide up to 2 display outputs simultaneously. The platform is also equipped with 64GB of micro SSD on-board storage for fast system boot and file read/write velocity. When used for kiosk applications, direct user manipulation exposes the system and software to potential alteration and damage. However, the built-in value-added software (write protection) eliminates this risk by ensuring that the system is returned to its original state with each reboot to provide users with a consistent use experience.

DS-370 features 2 gigabit LAN ports, 4 USB ports (3 x USB 2.0 and 1 x USB 3.0), as well as 2 x COM (RS-232) and audio ports (1 x mic-in and 1 x SPDIF/line-out) to facilitate system integration and application. To enhance connectivity, the device also supports 2 mini PCIe interfaces to enable the inclusion of add-on functions, wireless modules, and/or 3G modules.

BIOS Settings

This chapter explains the BIOS configuration process.

3.1 BIOS Introduction

Using the AMI BIOS Setup program, users can modify the BIOS settings and control various system features. This chapter describes the basic navigation of the BIOS setup screens for the DS-370 series.

The AMI BIOS's ROM features a built-in setup program that allows users to modify the basic system configuration. This information is stored in the flash portion of the CMOS to ensure the setup information is retained even when the system is powered off.

3.2 Enter Setup

3.2.1 Main Setup

When first entering the BIOS Setup Utility, users will land on the Main setup screen. Users can always return to the Main setup screen by selecting the Main tab.

The Main BIOS setup screen features two main frames. The left frame displays all configurable options. The blue options can be configured, whereas the gray options cannot. The right frame displays the key legend, above which is an area reserved for text messages. When an option is selected in the left frame, the text becomes white and is often accompanied by a text message.

Figure 3.1 Main setup screen

■ System Time/System Date

Use this option to change the system time and date. Highlight System Time or System Date using the keys. Enter new values via the keyboard. Press the key or the keys to move between fields. The date must be entered in MM/DD/YY format. The time must be entered in HH:MM:SS format.

3.2.2 Advanced BIOS Setup

Select the Advanced tab from the DS-370 setup screen to enter the Advanced BIOS setup screen. Users can select any item in the left frame of the screen, such as CPU configuration, to access the sub menu for that item. Use the keys to scroll through the Advanced BIOS Setup options. All Advanced BIOS Setup options are described in this section. The Advanced BIOS setup screens are shown below, and each sub menu is described in the following pages.

Troubleshooting

For users experiencing errors or difficulty operating DS-370, try the solutions outlined in this chapter.

4.1 No Sound From SPDIF Device

Should the SPDIF device not be emitting sound, follow the steps outlined below to adjust the system settings.

1. Connect the SPDIF device to DS-370 using a cable.
2. Check the volume mixer utility on the Windows taskbar (the default setting is the system speaker).

1. Enter the Control Panel and access the Sound settings.

1. Set Realtek Digital Output as the default.

1. The sound is output from the SPDIF device and can be controlled using the Volume Mixer utility.

4.2 TXE Driver Installation

For Windows 7, the Windows update KB2685811 must be installed before TXE driver installation.

Notice: For more information about KB2685811, please download the relevant update information from Microsoft's official website, or access the following link:

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=38423

Note

We strongly recommend using the FITC tool provided in this kit.
Please use the Intel TXE FW and system tools provided in the same kit. Combining tool from different kit versions can cause unexpected problems.
Please use SPI Flash devices that adhere to the specifications outlined in the Bay Trail Platform SoC SPI Flash Compatibility Requirements (IBL#514482, Section 3).
The Intel(R) TXEI driver for Android OS is provided as part of the Android-based UEFI BIOS OS image.
FPT, TXEInfo, and TXEManuf tools do not support Windows 7. Users are advised to run TXE manufacturing tools in an EFI Shell or WinPE environment.
For Windows* 7 OS only: The Intel TXEI driver uses KMDF (WDF) 1.11, which is built into Windows 8 and 8.1. However, because Windows 7 is not equipped with this driver, users must install the Kernel-Mode Driver Framework (KMDF), Version 1.1. Otherwise, a yellow bang will appear on the Intel TXEI device upon installation. Please follow the instructions provided in the following link: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=38423
■ Details of the sample signer tool reference code kit are provided in Section 1.2.
Disclaimer: The sample signer reference code does not provide adequate security. Additional functionality and software modifications are required to protect users' private keys. Intel(R) assumes no liability for lost or stolen private key data and/or system damage or any other problems resulting thereof.
The VCN value is increased to ^-8 . Consequently, a full firmware upgrade from Intel(R) TXE FW 1.1.0.1089 is possible. However, a downgrade from Intel(R) TXE FW 1.1.0.1113 to an earlier kit is not possible.

4.3 Using SUSIAccess Backup/Recovery

Method 1: Modify the network settings from a public network to a home or work-based network.

Method 2: Modify the Windows firewall settings by accessing the Windows firewall and selecting the Advanced tab. Locate and open the Networking-Echo Request (ICMPv4-in). Access the Advanced tab, configure all options (i.e., set the domain to private or public), and press click the button to apply all setting changes.

4.4 USB function failed during OS installation

Before OS installation, the OS selection should be set and matched to what the OS applied from the BIOS.
