Troubleshooting Checklist
If you experience difficulty with the G486VPA system
board, please refer to the checklist below. If you still
cannot isolate the problem, please contact your dealer.
1) Check the jumper settings to ensure that the jumpers
are properly set. If in doubt, refer to the “Board
Configuration” section.
2) Verify that all SIM modules are seated securely into
the bank sockets.
3) Make sure that the SIM modules are in the correct
locations.
4) Check that all populated memory banks are filled
with valid size SIM modules.
5) If your board fails to function, place the board on a
flat surface and seat all socketed components (gently
press each component into the socket).
6) If you made changes to the BIOS settings, re-enter
setup and load the BIOS defaults.
7) Check if the internal battery needs to be replaced.
The internal battery is located beside the slot PCI3
and just above the Flash EPROM.
