Hardware Installation 

Q: How do I connect my keyboard and mouse? 

A

: Users can always adopt the PS/2 keyboard and mouse over the PS/2 interface 

(through Ycable), J18. However, it is also OK to adopt a standard keyboard over the 
standard keyboard connector on the backplane, if provided. Users need to adopt a 5-pin 
keyboard connection cable to line up the keyboard interface, J22, with the 5-pin 
keyboard connector on the backplane. 

 

Q: OK. I have finished up hardware installation, but nothing happens when I 
power on the system. Why? 

A

: Try the following solutions. 

1.  Check jumper JP3. For AT power supply or ATX power supply used for AT 

system, JP3 needs to be at 1-3 and 2-4. Otherwise, it needs to be at 3-5 and 4-6. 
Incorrect power settings will not allow you to power on the system. 

2.  Double check whether every connector is attached with the correct cable. 
3.  If you have changed processor with different system clock, please move JP2 

(CMOS clear Jumper) to 2-3, power on the system to clear CMOS, power off the 
system, move JP2 back to 1-2, and power on again. 

 

Q: I power on the system, but the CPU speed is not correct. Why? 

A: This applies to Engineering Sample processor ONLY. If you have ever loaded the 
BIOS optimal default, thank you for doing so. However, this will force the BIOS to pick 
up the default CPU core/bus ratio as well. It needs to be emphasized again that this 
SBC does not have switch or jumper to configure CPU core/bus ratio. This is done 
through your BIOS setting. Please check in the "Frequency/Voltage Control" section of 
the BIOS chapter to adjust this core/bus ratio. 

 

Q: I connect two IDE devices over one IDE flat cable, but the system either does 
not start or hangs. Why? 

A

: Make sure that you have configured the two IDE devices as master and slave, 

respectively. 

 

Q: I am using an ATA-66 hard drive, how can I know that ATA-66 function is 
started? 

A

: You need to use the 80-pin ATA-66 IDE flat cable to have this function ready. During 

POST, you can see ATA-66 message while the hard drive is being detected.
