11. Troubleshooting
This section provides useful tips to get the PPC65B-1x operating. For basic hardware
installation and configuration, refer to “Setup and Installation” on page 9. This section
addresses system integration issues in terms of BIOS setting and OS diagnostics.
11.1 BIOS Settings
This section assumes that you have correctly selected and connected all the devices
with the required cables before applying power. If this is in question, inspect the
connection and application of each of the following components: 204-pin DDR3
Memory, keyboard, mouse, SATA hard disk, VGA connector, power cable of the device,
and all ATX accessories. Failure of any of these components can cause system failure.
It is recommended that you press
<Del>
and enter the BIOS setup menu during the
initial boot-up sequence to configure a stable BIOS configuration that can be woken.
NOTE
Although you can access the BIOS by pressing
<Esc>
instead of
<Del>
,
<Del>
is used in
the following procedures.
11.1.1 Loading the Default Optimal Setting
NOTE
If the system appears to be unstable during its startup, you can try loading the default
BIOS configuration to see if this solves the issues.
When prompted in the main setup menu, load setup defaults:
1. Apply power to an installed PPC65B-1x and press
<Del>
to enter the BIOS setup
menu.
2. Select the
Exit
menu and then scroll to
Restore Defaults
.
3. Press
Enter
.
4. To load the default optimal BIOS setup, select
Yes
. This forces the BIOS setting
back to the initial factory configuration.
11.1.2 Reset CMOS BIOS Configuration
A jumper can reset the BIOS CMOS settings to the factory default. Enable/disable the
Clear CMOS Function hardware circuit, by placing or removing the jumper from JP1.
To reset the BIOS CMOS configuration to the factory default settings:
1. Remove power from the PPC65B-1x.
2. Find JP1.
3. Remove jumpers from pins 1-2.
4. Install jumpers on pins 2-3 and wait five seconds.
5. Replace jumpers back on pins 1-2.
6. Restart.
