NSTALLING CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT (CPU)
Special Notice:
Remove Pin Cap before installation, and make good preservation
for future use. When the CPU is removed, cover the Pin Cap on the
empty socket to ensure pin legs won’t be damaged.
Pin Cap
Step 1: Pull the socket locking lever out from the socket and then raise
the lever up to a 90-degree angle.

Motherboard Manual
Step 2: Look for the triangular cut edge on socket, and the golden dot on
CPU should point forwards this triangular cut edge. The CPU will
fit only in the correct orientation.
Step 2-1:
Step 2-2:
Step 3: Hold the CPU down firmly, and then lower the lever to locked
position to complete the installation.
Step 4: Put the CPU Fan and heatsink assembly on the CPU and buckle it
on the retention frame. Connect the CPU FAN power cable into
the JCFAN1. This completes the installation.

Number of Beeps Troubleshooting Action
1, 3 Reseat the memory, or replace with known good modules.
Fatal error indicating a serious problem with the system.
Consult your system manufacturer. Before declaring the
motherboard beyond all hope, eliminate the possibility of
interference by a malfunctioning add-in card. Remove all
expansion cards except the video adapter.

z If beep codes are generated when all other expansion
cards are absent, consult your system manufacturer’s
technical support.
z If beep codes are not generated when all other expansion
cards are absent, one of the add-in cards is causing the
malfunction. Insert the cards back into the system one at a
time until the problem happens again. This will reveal the
malfunctioning card.
If the system video adapter is an add-in card, replace or
reseat the
video adapter. If the video adapter is an integrated part of the
system board, the board may be faulty.

4.5 TROUBLESHOOTING
Probable Solution
1. No power to the system at all
Power light don’t illuminate, fan
inside power supply does not turn
on.
2. Indicator light on keyboard does
not turn on.
System inoperative. Keyboard lights
are on, power indicator lights are lit,
and hard drive is spinning.
System does not boot from hard disk
drive, can be booted from optical drive.
System only boots from optical drive.
Hard disk can be read and applications
can be used but booting from hard disk
is impossible.
Screen message says “Invalid
Configuration” or “CMOS Failure.”
Cannot boot system after installing
second hard drive.

1. Make sure power cable is
securely plugged in.
2. Replace cable.
3. Contact technical support.
Using even pressure on both ends of
the DIMM, press down firmly until the
module snaps into place.
1. Check cable running from disk to
disk controller board. Make sure
both ends are securely plugged
in; check the drive type in the
standard CMOS setup.
2. Backing up the hard drive is
extremely important. All hard
disks are capable of breaking
down at any time.
1. Back up data and applications
files.
2. Reformat the hard drive.
Re-install applications and data
using backup disks.
Review system’s equipment. Make sure
correct information is in setup.
1. Set master/slave jumpers
correctly.
2. Run SETUP program and select
correct drive types. Call the drive
manufacturers for compatibility
with other drives.
