Troubleshooting
This chapter provides a few useful tips to quickly get ROBO-8771VG2 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
Backplane
ROBO-8771VG2 is a full-sized Signal Board Computer, and therefore is only able to
run on PICMG PCI/ISA backplane. To know whether your backplane is PICMG
PCI/ISA backplane, please contact with vendor or manufacturer.
P4 Power connector
ROBO-8771VG2 requires power drawing from one power connectors (J34),
depending on ATX power mode. The 4-pin (J34) connector is only required at ATX
mode due to the fact that 4-pin connector provides 5V Stand-by from the backplane
to the SBC. If J34 isn’t connected, it could also causes system failed to boot up.
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. CPU, CPU Fan, 200-pin DDR
SDRAM, keyboard, mouse, floppy drive, IDE hard disk, printer, VGA connector,
device cables, ATX accessories or 12V 4-pin power cable 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 ROBO-8771VG2 series, it is
recommended, when going with the boot-up sequence, to hit “DEL” key and enter
the BIOS setup menu to tune up a stable BIOS configuration so that you can wake up
your system far well.
