CHAPTER 2: HARDWARE INS TALLATION
2.1 INSTALLING CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT (CPU)
Special Notice:
Remo v e Pin Cap before installation, a nd make go o d preserv a tion for future use. When the CPU is removed, cover the Pin Cap on the
empty so cket to ensure pin legs won’ t be dama g ed.
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 a nd buckle it
on the retention frame. Connect the CPU FAN power cable into the JCFAN1. This completes the installation.

4.3 EXT RA INFORMATION
A. BIOS Update
After you fail to update BIOS or BIOS is invaded by virus, the Boot-Block function will help to restore BIOS. If the following message
is shown after boot-up the system, it means the BIOS contents are corrupted.
In this Case, please follow the procedure below to restore the BIOS:
1. Mak e a bo ot ab le flop py dis k.
2. Download the Flash Utility “AWDFLASH.exe” from the Biostar website: www.biostar.com.tw
3. Confirm motherboard model and download the respectively BIOS from B ios tar website.
4. Copy “AWDFLASH.exe” and respectively BIOS into floppy disk.
5. Insert the bootable disk into floppy drive and press Enter.
6. System will boot-up to DOS prompt.
7. Type
“Aw dfla sh xxxx.bf / sn/p y/ r” in DOS prompt.
(
xxxx means BIOS name.)
8. System will update BIOS automatically and restart.
9. The BIOS has been recovered and will work properly.

P4M900 Micro 775
B. CPU Overheated
If the system shutdown automatically after power on system for seconds, that means the CPU protection function has been activated.
When the CPU is over heated, the motherboard will shutdown automatically to avoid a damage of the CPU, and the system may not
power on again.
In this case, please double check:
1. The CPU cooler surface is placed evenly with the CPU surface.
2. CPU fan is rotated normally.
3. CPU fan speed is fulfilling with the CPU speed.
After confirmed, please follow steps below to relief the CPU protection function.
1. Remove the power cord from power supply for seconds.
2. Wai t for seconds.
3. Plug in the power cord and boot up the system.
Or you can:
1. Clear the CMOS data. (See “Close CMOS Header: JCMOS1” section)
2. Wai t for seconds.
3. Power on the system again.

4.4 TROUBLESHOOTING
Probable Solution
1. No power t o the system at all Power l ight don’t illuminate, fan ins i de power supply does not turn
on.
2. I ndi cator light on keyboard does not turn on.
System inoperat ive. Key board l i ghts are on, power indicat or lights are lit,
and hard drive is s pi nning. System does not boot from hard disk
drive, c an be booted from opti cal drive.
System only boots f rom optical drive. Hard di sk can be read and appli cations can be used but booting from hard disk
is impossi ble.
Screen m ess age says “I nvali d Configur ati on” or “CMOS Failure.”
Cannot boot sys tem after installing second hard drive.
1. Make sur e power cabl e is securely plugged i n.
2. Replace cable.
3. Contact technical support.
