5.1 System Maintenance Introduction
If the components of the EP-265-GM45/EP-267-GM45 series fail they must be replaced.
Components that can be replaced include:
CF module
SATA HDD
Wireless LAN module
DIMM module
Please contact the system reseller or vendor to purchase the replacement parts. Back
cover removal instructions and component replacement for the
EP-265-GM45/EP-267-GM45 series are described below.
5.2 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the maintenance of the
EP-265-GM45/EP-267-GM45 may result in permanent damage to the
EP-265-GM45/EP-267-GM45 and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the EP series. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore
critical that whenever the EP series is accessed internally, or any other electrical
component is handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
Wear an anti-static wristband: - Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can
help to prevent ESD from damaging the board.
Self-grounding:- Before handling the board touch any grounded conducting
material. During the time the board is handled, frequently touch any
conducting materials that are connected to the ground.
Use an anti-static pad: When configuring the EP series, place it on an
antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the EP series.
Page 53
Only handle the edges of the PCB:- When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
5.3 Turn off the Power
WARNING:
Failing to turn off the system before opening it can cause permanent
damage to the system and serious or fatal injury to the user.
Before any maintenance procedures are carried out on the system, make sure the system
is turned off.

FAN Mode Setting [Full On Mode]
Use the CPU FAN Mode Setting option to configure the second fan.
Full On Mode D
Automatic mode
PWM Manual mode
When the CPU FAN Mode Setting option is in the Automatic Mode, the following
parameters can be set.
EFAULT
Fan is off when the temperature is low
Pulse width modulation set manually
Fan is on all the time
enough. Parameters must be set by the
user.

CPU Fan Start PWM
Slope PWM
When the CPU FAN Mode Setting option is in the PWM Manual Mode, the following
parameters can be set.
CPU Fan PWM control
CPU Temp. Limit of OFF [000]
WARNING:
Setting this value too high may cause the fan to stop when the CPU is
at a high temperature and therefore cause the system to be damaged.
The CPU Temp. Limit of OFF option can only be set if the CPU FAN Mode Setting
option is set to Automatic Mode. Use the CPU Temp. Limit of OFF option to select the
CPU temperature at which the cooling fan should automatically turn off. To select a value,
select the CPU Temp. Limit of OFF option and enter a decimal number between 000 and
127. The temperature range is specified below.
Minimum Value: 0°C
Maximum Value: 127°C
Page 77
CPU Temp. Limit of On [020]
WARNING:
Setting this value too high may cause the fan to start only when the
CPU is at a high temperature and therefore cause the system to be
damaged.
The CPU Temp. Limit of On option can only be set if the CPU FAN Mode Setting option
is set to Automatic Mode. Use the CPU Temp. Limit of On option to select the CPU
temperature at which the cooling fan should automatically turn on. When the fan starts, it
rotates using the starting pulse width modulation (PWM) specified in the Fan 3 Start PWM
option below. To select a value, select the CPU Temp. Limit of On option and enter a
E-265-GM45/EP-267-GM45 Enrich POS System
decimal number between 000 and 127. The temperature range is specified below.
Minimum Value: 0°C
Maximum Value: 127°C
CPU Fan Start PWM [070]
The Fan 3 Start PWM option can only be set if the CPU FAN Mode Setting option is set
to Automatic Mode. Use the Fan 3 Start PWM option to select the PWM mode the fan
starts to rotate with after the temperature specified in the Temperature 3 Limit of Start is
exceeded. The Super I/O chipset supports 128 PWM modes. To select a value, select the
Fan 3 Start PWM option and enter a decimal number between 000 and 127. The
temperature range is specified below.
PWM Minimum Mode: 0
PWM Maximum Mode: 127
Slope PWM [0.5 PWM]

mode increases with respect to an increase in temperature. A list of available options is
shown below:

6.3.5 AHCI Configuration
NOTE:
Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) is a new programming
interface for SATA host controllers. AHCI systems do not have
master/slave designation for SATA devices, each device is treated as a
master, and hardware-assisted native command queuing.
Use the AHCI Settings menu (BIOS Menu 8) to report on the auto-detection of devices
connected to the onboard SATA drive connectors.

AHCI Port n [Not Detected]
Use the AHCI Port n BIOS option to check what AHCI (Advanced Host Controller
Interface) devices are detected to a specified SATA drive connector. If a device is
detected, selecting the BIOS option, e.g. “AHCI Port 3” opens a new window.
