Problems Operating Add-in Boards

Problems related to add-in boards are usually related to improper board installation or interrupt
and address conflicts. Go through the checklist below to see if you can correct the problem. If
the problem persists after you have checked and corrected all of these items, contact the board
vendor's customer service representative.
Did you install the add-in board according to the manufacturer's instructions?
Check the documentation that came with the board. Are all cables installed properly?
The following items are suggestions for troubleshooting problems related to PCI/ISA legacy
(non-Plug and Play) add-in boards.
 If the PCI/ISA board uses an interrupt, run Set-up and set the interrupt that is being used
by the PCI/ISA board to Used by PCI/ISA Card. Please refer to the BIOS manual for
details of how to do this.
 If the PCI/ISA legacy board uses memory space between 80000H - 9FFFFH, run Set-up
and set conventional memory to 256 K.
 If the PCI/ISA legacy board uses shared memory between C8000H - DFFFH, run Set-up
and enable shared memory for the appropriate memory space.
No Power
1. Make sure that there are no short circuits between the Motherboard and the chassis.
2. Make sure that all jumpers are set to their default positions.
3. Check that the 115V/230V switch on the power supply is properly set.
4. Turn the power switch on and off to test the system.
5. The battery on your Motherboard may be old. Check to verify that it still supplies ~3VDC. If it
does not, replace it with a new one.
No Video
1. If the power is on but you have no video, remove all the add-on cards and cables.
2. Use the speaker to determine if any beep codes exist. Refer to the page 56 for details on
beep codes.
Losing the System's Setup Configuration
1. Make sure that you are using a high quality power supply. A poor quality power supply may
cause the system to lose the CMOS setup information.
2. The battery on your Motherboard may be old. Check to verify that it still supplies ~3VDC. If it
does not, replace it with a new one.
3. If the above steps do not fix the Setup Configuration problem, contact technical support
