There are two control signals that come form system to control lamp brightness. One signal is named DAC_BRIG, which limits current to meet LCD lamp current specification. Another one is named PWM, which adjusts lamp brightness. This inverter brightness is adjusted by PWM burst mode. The PWM burst mode is that turning on and off the lamp at rate of 150Hz. The effective brightness is a function of the duty cycle. Features 1. Wide range 9V to 21V input voltage. 2. Birghtness adjustment by PWM duty mode. 3. Close loop controls lamp current.

NOTE:
*1. The inverter can work in 7.5V input voltage (continuous), but 7.5V electronic characteristic will not be care. *2. Limited lamp maximum current by DAC_BRIC signal: When DAC_BRIG voltage is 0V and INV_PWM enables (100%), lamp has max. current. When DAC_BRIG voltage is 3.3V and INV_PWM enables (100%), lamp has min. current. When add 1V DAC, the 100% Lamp current will decrease 0.5mA. DAC_BRIG signal comes from system chipset with internal resistance of 3K *3. Inverter operating frequency should be within specification (45~65kHz) at max. and min. brightness load. *4. INV_PWM enable implies INV_PWM signal is High level (On duty cycle is 100%). It is a square wave of 150Hz to adjust backlight brightness that is a function of PWM duty cycle. Backlight brightness is maximum value under INV_PWM at 100% and brightness is minimum under INV_PWM at 30%. *5.The system interface signals belong to 3.3V. *6. Please make sure open lamp output voltage should be within starting voltage specification. *7. Inverter should pass human body safety test. *8. Inverter should be no smoking by any component open/short test. *9. Transformer voltage stress should not be over 85% under any condition. (turn on overshoot transient and line transient.) *10. Audio noise should be less than 36dB at 10cm distance.

BIOS Setup Utility
The BIOS Setup Utility is a hardware configuration program built into your computer's BIOS (Basic Input/ Output System). Your computer is already properly configured and optimized, and you do not need to run this utility. However, if you encounter configuration problems, you may need to run Setup. Please also refer to Chapter 4 Troubleshooting when problem arises. To activate the BIOS Utility, press m during POST (when "Press to enter Setup" message is prompted on the bottom of screen). The setup screen displays BIOS as follows:
Function Screen Main Set Date and Time
Item Display system information Enable/Disable Quiet Boot Logo Enable/Disable LCD auto DIM Enable/Disable PXE boot from LAN Enable/Disable F12 Boot Menu
Advanced
Allow users to set FIR ports Allow users to set LPT ports Allow users to enable/disable legacy USB
Security Boot Exit
Set User passwords&Set Supervisor passwords Allow users to change boot up devices priorities Exit and save settings
Navigating the BIOS Utility
There are five menu options: Main, Advanced, Security, Boot and Exit. Follow these instructions:
! ! ! ! !
To choose a menu, use the cursor left/right keys (zx). To choose a parameter, use the cursor up/down keys ( wy). To change the value of a parameter, press p or q. Press ^ while you are in any of the menu options to go to the Exit menu. In any menu, you can load default settings by pressing t. You can also press u to save any changes made and exit the BIOS Setup Utility.
NOTE: You can change the value of a parameter if it is enclosed in square brackets. Navigation keys for a particular menu are shown on the bottom of the screen. Help for parameters are found in the Item Specific Help part of the screen. Read this carefully when making changes to parameter values.
