Troubleshooting
This chapter provides a few useful tips to quickly get ROBO-8714VG2A 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-8714VG2A is a full-sized Signal Board Computer, and it not only supports
PCI/ISA backplane but also PCI 64 bits and PCI-X, which can rapidly increase the
performance of your system. To know whether your backplane is PICMG PCI/ISA
backplane and whether it supports PCI-X, please contact our vendor or us.
P4 Power connector
ROBO-8714VG2A requires power drawing from at least one or two power
connectors (J1 and J7), depending on power mode (AT or ATX). The CPU
supplementary Power Connector (J1) has to be connected to a system all the time no
matter using AT or ATX mode. Otherwise, the system won’t boot up properly. In
addition, the 4-pin connector (J9) 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 J1 isn’t
connected, it could also cause system failed to boot up.
