Troubleshooting
First steps if the Board does not boot:
•
Check the status LED's on the board. Are all voltages properly available?
•
Check the power connectors to the board, monitor and additional devices.
•
Are all cables plugged on the correct connector and in the correct orientation? The board
may not boot if some of the cables are not plugged in correctly!
•
Is a RAM module inserted on CPU Board?
•
Check the power supply. Is the supply voltage correct for the board? If you are not sure,
read the manual. Try plugging in a different power supply or multi-meter to check the
power a wrong supply voltage can easily FRY a computer and other electrical devices.
•
Is your display ok? Is the monitor powered on? Is the monitor's video cable plugged into
the video connector? Double-check the brightness and contrast settings. Plug the monitor
into another computer if possible to verify the monitor isn't the problem.
•
Remove all additional devices from the system. Only the processor board, power supply,
monitors and the keyboard should remain in the system.
•
Replace the system RAM
•
Assure your cooling measures work correctly and keep the processor at a reasonable
temperature.
•
If all else has failed, replace the CPU Board itself.
•
If system comes up then load at first the OPTIMIZED DEFAULTS in the BIOS setup and
reboot.
If you need to send the board to LiPPERT for repair, be sure you get a Return Material Authorization
number (RMA) first.
