WADE-8171 8 Troubleshooting This section provides a few useful tips to quickly get WADE-8171 running with success. This section will primarily focus on system integration issues, in terms of BIOS setting, and OS diagnostics. Hardware Quick Installation ATX Power Setting Unlike other Single board computer, WADE-8171 supports AT/ATX only.
Page 85 Unlike IDE bus, each Serial ATA channel can only connect to one SATA hard disk at a time; The installation of Serial ATA is simpler and easier than IDE, because SATA hard disk doesn’t require setting up Master and Slave, which can reduce mistake of hardware installation. Copyright © Portwell 2015 WADE-8171 User's Guide...
