Chapter 1: Introduction

1.1 Before You Start

Thank you for choosing our product. Before you start installing the motherboard, please make sure you follow the instructions below:

  • Prepare a dry and stable working environment with sufficient lighting.
    • Always disconnect the computer from power outlet before operation.
  • Before you take the motherboard out from anti-static bag, ground yourself properly by touching any safely grounded appliance, or use grounded wrist strap to remove the static charge.
  • Avoid touching the components on motherboard or the rear side of the board unless necessary. Hold the board on the edge, do not try to bend or flex the board.
  • Do not leave any unfastened small parts inside the case after installation. Loose parts will cause short circuits which may damage the equipment.
  • Keep the computer from dangerous area, such as heat source, humid air and water.
  • The operating temperatures of the computer should be 0 to 45 degrees Celsius.
    • To avoid injury, be careful of:
    Sharp pins on headers and connectors Rough edges and sharp corners on the chassis Damage to wires that could cause a short circuit

4.3 Troubleshooting

Probable Solution
1. There is no power in the system. Power LED does not shine; the fan of the power supply does not work2. Indicator light on keyboard does not shine.1. Make sure power cable is securely plugged in.2. Replace cable.3. Contact technical support.
System is inoperative. Keyboard lights are on, power indicator lights are lit, and hard drives are running.Using even pressure on both ends of the DIMM, press down firmly until the module snaps into place.
System does not boot from a hard disk drive, but can be booted from optical drive.1. Check cable running from disk to disk controller board. Make sure both ends are securely plugged in; check the drive type in the standard CMOS setup.2. Backing up the hard drive is extremely important. All hard disks are capable of breaking down at any time.
System only boots from an optical drive. Hard disks can be read, applications can be used, but system fails to boot from a hard disk.1. Back up data and applications files.2. Reformat the hard drive. Re-install applications and data using backup disks.
Screen message shows “Invalid Configuration” or “CMOS Failure.”Review system’s equipment. Make sure correct information is in setup.
System cannot boot after user installs a second hard drive.1. Set master/slave jumpers correctly.2. Run SETUP program and select correct drive types. Call the drive manufacturers for compatibility with other drives.

CPU Overheated

If the system shutdown automatically after power on system for seconds, that means the CPU protection function has been activated.

When the CPU is over heated, the motherboard will shutdown automatically to avoid a damage of the CPU, and the system may not power on again.

In this case, please double check:

  1. The CPU cooler surface is placed evenly with the CPU surface.
  2. CPU fan is rotated normally.
  3. CPU fan speed is fulfilling with the CPU speed.

After confirmed, please follow steps below to relief the CPU protection function.

  1. Remove the power cord from power supply for seconds.
  2. Wait for seconds.
  3. Plug in the power cord and boot up the system.

Or you can:

  1. Clear the CMOS data. (See "Close CMOS Header: JCMOS1" section)
  2. Wait for seconds.
  3. Power on the system again.
