7 Chapter 2 Installing the Motherboard Safety Precautions • • • • • Follow these safety precautions when installing the motherboard Wear a grounding strap attached to a grounded device to avoid damage from static electricity Discharge static electricity by touching the metal case of a safely grounded object before working on the motherboard Leave components in the static-proof bags they came in Hold all circuit boards by the edges.
PAGE 12
8 Do not over-tighten the screws as this can stress the motherboard. Checking Jumper Settings This section explains how to set jumpers for correct configuration of the motherboard. Setting Jumpers Use the motherboard jumpers to set system configuration options. Jumpers with more than one pin are numbered. When setting the jumpers, ensure that the jumper caps are placed on the correct pins. The illustrations show a 2-pin jumper. When the jumper cap is placed on both pins, the jumper is SHORT.
PAGE 13
9 Checking Jumper Settings The following illustration shows the location of the motherboard jumpers. Pin 1 is labeled. Jumper Settings Jumper Type Description Setting (default) 1-2: NORMAL CLR_CMOS 3-pin ME_DISABLE 3-pin Clear CMOS Disable ME 2-3: CLEAR Before clearing the CMOS, make sure to turn off the system. 1-2: ME ENABLE 1 CLR_CMOS 1 2-3: ME DISABLE ME_ENABLE 1-2: 21.5’’ AUO M215HW03 LCD_SEL1 LCD_SEL2 1-2: 21.5’’ AUO M215HW03 LCD_SEL2 LCD_SEL1 2-3: 21.
PAGE 14
10 To avoid the system instability after clearing CMOS, we recommend users to enter the main BIOS setting page to “Load Default Settings” and then “Save and Exit Setup”. Installing Hardware Installing the Processor Caution: When installing a CPU heatsink and cooling fan make sure that you DO NOT scratch the motherboard or any of the surface-mount resistors with the clip of the cooling fan.
PAGE 15
11 CPU Installation Procedure The following illustration shows CPU installation components. A. Disengaging of the Load Lever · Press the hook of lever down and pull it to the right side to release it from retention tab. B. Opening of the Load Plate · Lift the tail of the load lever. · Rotate the load plate to fully open position. C. Removing the Cap · Be careful not to touch the contact at any time. D. Inserting the Package · Grasp the package. Ensure to grasp on the edge of the substrate.
PAGE 16
12 1. To achieve better airflow rates and heat dissipation, we suggest that you use a high quality fan with 3800 rpm at least. CPU fan and heatsink installation procedures may vary with the type of CPU fan/ heatsink supplied. The form and size of fan/heatsink may also vary. 2. DO NOT remove the CPU cap from the socket before installing a CPU. 3. Return Material Authorization (RMA) requests will be accepted only if the motherboard comes with the cap on the LGA1155 socket.

45 Chapter 5 Trouble Shooting Start up problems during assembly After assembling the PC for the first time you may experience some start up problems. Before calling for technical support or returning for warranty, this chapter may help to address some of the common questions using some basic troubleshooting tips. a) System does not power up and the fans are not running. 1.Disassemble the PC to remove the VGA adaptor card, DDR memory, LAN, USB and other peripherals including keyboard and mouse.
PAGE 50
46 2. From the BIOS setting, try to disable the Smartfan function to let the fan run at default speed. Doing a Load Optimised Default will also disable the Smartfan. Start up problems after prolong use After a prolong period of use your PC may experience start up problems again. This may be caused by breakdown of devices connected to the motherboard such as HDD, CPU fan, etc. The following tips may help to revive the PC or identify the cause of failure. 1. Clear the CMOS values using the CLR_CMOS jumper.
