Troubleshooting
This chapter provides a few useful tips to quickly get ROBO-8779VG2AR 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-8779VG2AR is a full-sized Signal Board Computer, and therefore is only
able to run on PICMG 1.0 backplane. To know whether your backplane is PICMG
1.0 backplane, please contact with vendor or manufacturer.
P4 Power connector
The CPU supplementary Power Connector (J7) has to be connected to a system all
the time no matter using ATX mode. Otherwise, the system won’t boot up properly.
Serial ATA Hard Disk employment
Each Serial ATA channel can only connect to one SATA hard disk at a time; there
are total four connectors, J20/J21/J23/J24. 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. All you need to do is
to plug in two cables and enable SATA in System BIOS.
