Troubleshooting Chapter 5 Troubleshooting This chapter provides a few useful tips to quickly get NANO-6040 running with success. As basic hardware installation has been addressed in Chapter 2, this chapter will primarily focus on system integration issues, in terms of BIOS setting, and OS Hardware Quick Installation There are two methods to power on NANO-6040 which are 4 Pins DC +12V connector or DC +12V IN Jack.
BIOS setting back to the initial factory configuration. It is recommended to do this so you can be sure the system is running with the BIOS setting that Portwell has highly endorsed. As a matter of fact, users can load the default BIOS setting any time when system appears to be unstable in boot up sequence.
Page 56
Troubleshooting Improper disable operation There are too many occasions where users disable a certain device/feature in one application through BIOS setting. These variables may not be set back to the original values when needed. These devices/features will certainly fail to be detected. When the above conditions happen, it is strongly recommended to check the BIOS settings.
Troubleshooting Q&A Question: Don’t find any Clear CMOS jumper. Answer: There is no hardware implementation for clearing the CMOS in the Queens Bay platform. Question: We find the Read/Write speed of the NANO-6040 USB port in Windows XP is slower than Win7. Answer: The USB port read/write speed is only 98Mb/s in Windows XP.
