Q: I don't see the meter displays in my Web brows-
er when I open the pages for my Audio Nodes.
The web pages use Java to render the meter displays.
First, double-check your browser options to confirm
that Java is enabled, and turn it on if necessary. If
Java is not installed on your computer, you will need
to install it. Download the free Java installer from
http://www.java.com and follow the instructions to
install Java; once installed, the meter displays should
be visible in your Web browser.
Q: How do I set the time on the Element?

Options key will be displayed. All clock adjustments
may be made from this screen.
Q: My Element GPIO/Power Supply/CPU
doesn't boot and just beeps when I plug it in.
What do I do?
The Element CPU uses a VIA EPIA ME6000
mainboard with Award BIOS. If your Element CPU
cannot boot, the computer tries to tell you you what
is wrong using POST codes (an acronym for "Power-
On Self Test").
Award states that the only POST code their BIOS.
uses is one long beep and then two short beeps,
which indicate a graphics card problem. The reason
that only one POST code is used, according to Award,
is that the BIOS will attempt to display error codes
for other, non-video-related problems on-screen if at
all possible. If the BIOS cannot initiate the display
adapter, is issues the POST code for a display error,
which must be corrected before any other errors can
be determined.
However, some other POST codes are known to exist.
Consult the table that follows.
POST Code
1 Long, 2 Short
Repeating beeps
Repeating Hi/Low
beeps
High-frequency
beeps
Jostling in transit has been known to loosen the edge-
connected cards used in Element's CPU. If you hear
only a POST code beep upon plugging in your CPU,
disconnect power, remove the screws from the top
of the Element GPIO/Power Supply and remove and
re-seat all cards found on the internal mainboard;
typically, this will solve the problem. If it does not,
please contact Axia support for further assistance.

Installing A New Module

Adding a module to Element is a very simple, straight-
forward proceedure, but some minor disassembly of the
surface will be necessary if the new module is accompa-
nied by an overbridge alphanumeric display.

Before beginning the installation, inspect your new
module. Take note of three features on the underside of
the module: the RJ45 connectors, the ribbon cable con-
nector for the overbridge alpha display panel, and the
module ID encoder. (Note that not all modules require
an overbridge display and thus a ribbon connector will
not be present.)
Your module kit will contain some or all of the fol-
