Check jumpers JP5 and JP6 on the I/O board. The USB cable can
be connected to two connectors on the I/O board (J5A and J5B).
The position of the shunts on jumpers JP5 and JP6 will enable
either J5A or J5B. The shunts should be positioned towards the
connector where the USB cable is connected. For more information,
see Tech Note 55.

The motherboard did not boot from the CD-ROM drive.
•
Check that the CD-ROM drive is set as master.
•
Check the ribbon cable connections between the CD-ROM drive
and the motherboard.
•
Try another CD-ROM drive or another set of CDs.
