Hardware Configuration
This chapter gives the definitions and shows the positions of jumpers, headers and
connectors. All of the configuration jumpers on WADE-8078 are in the proper
position. The default settings shipped from factory are marked with an asterisk (♣).
2.1 Jumper Setting
In general, jumpers on the single board computer are used to select options for certain
features. Some of the jumpers are designed to be user-configurable, allowing for
system enhancement. The others are for testing purpose only and should not be
altered. To select any option, cover the jumper cap over (SHORT) or remove (NC) it
from the jumper pins according to the following instructions. Here NC stands for
“Not Connect”.

maximum memory can be up to 4GB. Memory clock and related settings can be
detected by BIOS via SPD interface.
Watch out the contact and lock integrity of memory module with socket, it will
impact on the system reliability. Follow normal procedures to install memory module
into memory socket. Before locking, make sure that all modules have been fully
inserted into the card slots.
3.3 Installing the Single Board Computer
To install your WADE-8078 into standard chassis or proprietary environment, please
perform the following:
Step 1 : Check all jumpers setting on proper position
Step 2 : Install and configure CPU and memory module on right position
Step 3 : Place WADE-8078 into the dedicated position in the system
Step 4 : Attach cables to existing peripheral devices and secure it
WARNING
Please ensure that SBC is properly inserted and fixed by mechanism.

BIOS Setup Information
WADE-8078 is equipped with the Phoenix BIOS stored in Flash ROM. These BIOS has
a built-in Setup program that allows users to modify the basic system configuration
easily. This type of information is stored in CMOS RAM so that it is retained during
power-off periods. When system is turned on, WADE-8078 communicates with
peripheral devices and checks its hardware resources against the configuration
information stored in the CMOS memory. If any error is detected, or the CMOS
parameters need to be initially defined, the diagnostic program will prompt the user
to enter the SETUP program. Some errors are significant enough to abort the start up.
4.1 Entering Setup -- Launch System Setup
Power on the computer and the system will start POST (Power On Self Test) process.
When the message below appears on the screen, press <F2> key will enter BIOS setup
screen.
Press <F2> to enter SETUP
If the message disappears before responding and still wish to enter Setup, please
restart the system by turning it OFF and On or pressing the RESET button. It can be
also restarted by pressing <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and <Delete> keys on keyboard
simultaneously.
Press <F1> to Run General Help or Resume
The BIOS setup program provides a General Help screen. The menu can be easily
called up from any menu by pressing <F1>. The Help screen lists all the possible keys
to use and the selections for the highlighted item. Press <Esc> to exit the Help screen.

Troubleshooting
WADE-8078 User’s Manual 5-1
Chapter 5
Troubleshooting
This chapter provides a few useful tips to quickly get WADE-8078 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
diagnostics.
5.1 Hardware Quick Installation
ATX Power Setting
Unlike other Single board computer, WADE-8078 supports ATX only. Therefore,
there is no other setting that really needs to be set up. However, there is 8 Pin ATX
Connector—CN1 in the WADE-8078 board.
Serial ATA
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.
Troubleshooting
WADE-8078 User’s Manual 5-2
The WADE-8078 can support two SATA interface (SATAII, 3.0Gb/s) with AHCI or
IDE mode. It has two J11 SATA ports in the board.
5.2 BIOS Setting
It is assumed that users have correctly adopted modules and connected all the
devices cables required before turning on ATX power. 204-pin DDR3 Memory,
keyboard, mouse, SATA hard disk, VGA connector, power cable of the device, ATX
accessories are good examples that deserve attention. With no assurance of properly
and correctly accommodating these modules and devices, it is very possible to
encounter system failures that result in malfunction of any device.
To make sure that you have a successful start with WADE-8078, it is recommended,
when going with the boot-up sequence, to hit “F2” key and enter the BIOS setup
menu to tune up a stable BIOS configuration so that you can wake up your system far
well.
Loading the default optimal setting
When prompted with the main setup menu, please scroll down to “Load Setup
Defaults”, press “Enter” and select “Yes” to load in default optimal BIOS setup. This
will force your 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.
5.3 Q&A
Information & Support
Question: I forget my password of system BIOS, what am I supposed to do?
Answer: You can switch off your power supply then find the JP6 to set it from 1-2
short to 2-3 short and wait 5 seconds to clean your password then set it back to 1-2
short to switch on your power supply.

6. Insert your USB pen drive in USB port of the WADE-8078 board and
power-on.
7. Boot to EFI-Shell mode then input the “fs0:” command to switch to the
root of the USB pen drive.
8. Type the”update” command to start flash BIOS processes.
9. When it finished all update processes, it will reboot in 5 seconds
automatically.
10. Please press the “F2” key to BIOS setup menu to select “Load Setup
