the power cord from its source before removing the chassis
cover. Turning off the system power switch does not remove
power to components.
Before You Begin -ixKEEX-2010 Series User Guide
X When Working Inside a Computer
Before taking covers off a computer, perform the following steps:
1) Turn off the computer and any peripherals.
2) Disconnect the computer and peripherals from their power sources or subsystems to prevent
electric shock or system board damage. This does not apply when hot swapping parts.
3) Follow the guidelines provided in “Preventing Electrostatic Discharge” on the following page.
4) Disconnect any telephone or telecommunications lines from the computer.
In addition, take note of these safety guidelines when appropriate:
To help avoid possible damage to system boards, wait five seconds after turning off the
computer before removing a component, removing a system board, or disconnecting a
peripheral device from the computer.
When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain-relief loop, not on the cable
itself. Some cables have a connector with locking tabs. If you are disconnecting this type of
cable, press in on the locking tabs before disconnecting the cable. As you pull connectors
apart, keep them evenly aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. Also, before connecting
a cable, make sure both connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to service the system yourself except as
explained in this user’s guide. Follow installation and
troubleshooting instructions closely.
x KEEX-2010 Series User Guide
X Preventing Electrostatic Discharge
Static electricity can harm system boards. Perform service at an ESD workstation and follow proper ESD
procedure to reduce the risk of damage to components. Quanmax strongly encourages you to follow proper
ESD procedure, which can include wrist straps and smocks, when servicing equipment.
You can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD):
When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not remove the
component’s antistatic packing material until you are ready to install the component in a
computer. Just before unwrapping the antistatic packaging, be sure you are at an ESD
workstation or grounded. This willl discharge any static electricity that may have built up in your
body.
When transporting a sensitive component, first plac e it in an antistatic container or packaging.
Handle all sensitive components at an ESD workstation. If possible, use antistatic floor pads and
workbench pads.
Handle components and boards with care. Don’t touch the components or contacts on a board.
Hold a board by its edges or by its metal mounting bracket.
Do not handle or store system boards near strong electrostatic, electromagnetic, magnetic, or
radioactive fields.

X Maintaining Your Computer
X Cleaning Components
Internal fans cool the computer by drawing in air through air vents in the front of the computer and blowing it
out the rear-side panels. Dust and other debris is drawn in with the air and, if allowed to build up, will interfere
with the operation of various system components and insulate components, preventing heat from dissipating.
To prevent this, an air filter has been installed in front of the air vents in the front panel to block dust and other
debris from entering the computer.
Dust and debris builds up on the air filter over time. When the air filter becomes very dirty, it is difficult for
cooling air to pass through the air filter and enter the computer. So, the air filter must be cleaned to prevent
the computer from overheating. Remove and clean the air filter on a regular basis following the steps
described in the “Air Filter” section of Chapter 2. Also, regularly vacuum the exterior of the chassis to remove
dust that has accumulated around the air vents.
X Environmental Factors
X Temperature
The ambient temperature within an enclosure may be greater than room ambient temperature. Installation in
an enclosure should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation is not compromised.
Consideration should be given to the maximum rated ambient temperature. Overheating can cause a variety
of problems, including premature aging and failure of chips or mechanical failure of devices.
If the system has been exposed to abnormally cold temperatures, allow a two-hour warm-up period to bring it
up to normal operating temperature before turning it on. Failure to do so may cause damage to internal
components, particularly the hard disk drive.
X Humidity
High-humidity can cause moisture to enter and accumulate in the system. This moisture can cause corrosion
of internal components and degrade such properties as electrical resistance and thermal conductivity .
Extreme moisture buildup inside the system can result in electrical shorts, which can cause serious damage
to the system.
Buildings in which climate is controlled usually maintain an acceptable level of humidity for system
equipment. However, if a system is located in an unusually humid location, a dehumidifier can be used to
maintain the humidity within an acceptable range. Refer to the “Specifications” section of this user’s guide for
the operating and storage humidity specifications.
X Altitude
Operating a system at a high altitude (low pressure) reduces the efficiency of the cooling fans to cool the
system. This can cause electrical problems related to arcing and corona effects. This condition can also
Maintaining Your Computer -xixKEEX-2010 Series User Guide
cause sealed components with internal pressure, such as electrolytic capacitors, to fail or perform at
reduced efficiency.
X Power Protection
The greatest threats to a system’s supply of power are power loss, power spikes, and power surges caused
by electrical storms, which interrupt system operation and/or damage system components. To protect your
system, always properly ground power cables and one of the following devices.
X Surge Protector
Surge protectors are available in a variety of types and usually provide a level of protection proportional
with the cost of the device. Surge protectors prevent voltage spikes from entering a system through the AC
power cord. Surge protectors, however, do not offer protection against brownouts, which occur when the
voltage drops more than 20 percent below the normal AC line voltage level.
X Line Conditioner
Line conditioners go beyond the overvoltage protection of surge protectors. Line conditioners keep a
system’s AC power source voltage at a fairly const ant level and, therefore, can handle brownouts. Because
of this added protection, line conditioners cost more than surge protectors. However, line conditioners
cannot protect against a complete loss of power.
X Uninterruptible Power Supply
Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems offer the most complete protection against variations on
power because they use battery power to keep the server running when AC power is lost. The battery is
charged by the AC power while it is available, so when AC power is lost, the battery can provide power to
the system for a limited amount of time, depending on the UPS system.
UPS systems range in price from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars, with the more
expensive unit s allowing you to run larger systems for a longer period of time when AC power is lost. UPS
systems that provide only 5 minutes of battery power let you conduct an orderly shutdown of the system,
but are not intended to provide continued operation. Surge protectors should be used with all UPS
systems, and the UPS system should be Underwriters Laboratories (UL) safety approved.

This chapter provides a description of the Award BIOS. The BIOS setup menus and available selections may
vary from those of your product. For specific information on the BIOS for your product, please contact
Quanmax.
Note: The BIOS menus and selections for your product may vary from
those in this chapter. For the BIOS manual specific to your product, please
contact Quanmax.
Award's ROM BIOS provides a built-in Setup program, which allows the user to modify the basic system
configuration and hardware parameters. The modified data will be stored in a battery-backed CMOS, so that
data will be retained even when the power is turned off. In general, the information saved in the CMOS RAM
will not need to be changed unless there is a configuration change in the system, such as a hard drive
replacement or when a device is added.
It is possible for the CMOS battery to fail, which will cause data loss in the CMOS only. If this happens you
will need to reconfigure your BIOS settings.

You can set either the supervisor or the user password, or both. The differences between them are:
Supervisor: is allowed to enter Setup and change the options.
User: is allowed to enter Setup but not to change the options.
When you select either function, the following message will appear at the center of the screen to assist you
in creating a password.
ENTER PASSWORD:
Type the new password, up to eight characters in length, and press <Enter>. The new password will clear
any previously entered password from CMOS memory. You will be asked to confirm the password. Type
the password again and press <Enter>. You may also press <Esc> to abort the change.
To disable a password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to enter the password. A message will
confirm that password protection will be disabled. Once the password is disabled, the system will boot and
you can enter Setup freely.
PASSWORD DISABLED.
When a password has been enabled, you will be prompted to enter it every time you try to enter Setup.
This prevents an unauthorized person from changing any part of your system configuration. Additionally,
when you have enabled a password, you can also require the BIOS to request the password every time
your system is rebooted. This would prevent unauthorized use of your computer.
You can determine when the password is requested in the BIOS Features Setup Menu and its Security
option (see above). If the Security option is set to "System", a password will be required both at boot and
on entry into Setup. If set to "Setup", a password is required only when trying to enter Setup.

X Save & Exit Setup
Pressing <Enter> on this item asks for confirmation:
Save to CMOS and EXIT (Y/N)? Y
Pressing "Y" stores the selections you made in CMOS - a special section of memory that stays on after you
turn your system off. The next time you boot your computer, the BIOS configures your system according to
the Setup selections stored in CMOS. After saving the values, the system is restarted.
X Exit Without Saving
Pressing <Enter> on this item asks for confirmation:
Quit without saving (Y/N)? Y
This allows you to exit Setup without storing any changes in CMOS. The previous selections remain in
effect. This exits the Setup utility and restarts your computer.
