Electrical safety
• To prevent electrical shock hazard, disconnect the power cable from the
electrical outlet before relocating the system.
• When adding or removing devices to or from the system, ensure that the
power cables for the devices are unplugged before the signal cables are
connected. If possible, disconnect all power cables from the existing system
before you add a device.
• Before connecting or removing signal cables from the motherboard, ensure
that all power cables are unplugged.
• Seek professional assistance before using an adpater or extension cord.
These devices could interrupt the grounding circuit.
• Make sure that your power supply is set to the correct voltage in your area.
If you are not sure about the voltage of the electrical outlet you are using,
contact your local power company.
• If the power supply is broken, do not try to fix it by yourself. Contact a
qualified service technician or your retailer.
Operation safety
• Before installing the motherboard and adding devices on it, carefully read all
the manuals that came with the package.
• Before using the product, make sure all cables are correctly connected and the
power cables are not damaged. If you detect any damage, contact your dealer
immediately.
• To avoid short circuits, keep paper clips, screws, and staples away from
connectors, slots, sockets, and circuitry.
• Avoid dust, humidity, and temperature extremes. Do not place the product in
any area where it may become wet.
• Place the product on a stable surface.
• If you encounter technical problems with the product, contact a qualified
service technician or your retailer.

3.1 Troubleshooting for Motherboard DIY
After assembling your own computer, you might encounter troubles in starting it up.
This chapter provides answers to some common questions about your PC before
entering the operating system. Read this chapter for basic troubleshooting. It saves
time and hassles for you on contacting ASUS technical support team or returning
the product for warranty service.
Handle the card or the CPU by its edges and DO NOT touch the gold contact.
Static electricity will seriously damage the device.
If the broken or bended pins are caused after the purchase, your retailer
may ask for repair charge. Sometimes the broken or bended pins are NOT
REPAIRABLE.
B. CPU overheated
1. Wipe clean the CPU surface with the
clean cloth. Apply several drops of
thermal paste to the exposed area
of the CPU that the heatsink will be
in contact with. Make sure that it is
spread in an even thin layer.

3.2 Other common troubles
English
• When removing devices from the system, ensure all the power cables are
unplugged.
• All the error messages will be displayed on screen during the Power-On Self-
Test (POST).
• If there are BIOS beeps, refer to section 1.11 for details.
• Go over the checklist table below for further check.

3. If the problem persists, you may need to contact your retailer for a new
power supply unit. If the power supply unit functions, contact your ASUS
motherboard retailer for motherboard warranty service.
36 Chapter 3: Troubleshooting
3.2.2 Failure to boot-up; No screen display
English
Most boot-up failure and no screen display result from device defection or incorrect
installation. Follow the instructions below to fix the problem.
1. Make sure that all the power cables are attached, including the system and
the monitor.
2. Make sure if the problem comes from expansion devices.
• Remove all the expansion card and devices. Use only motherboard,
monitor, VGA card, memory modules, power supply unit, heatsink and
fan, keyboard, and mouse to reboot the system.
3. Make sure if the problem comes from the basic system devices.
• If you have some spare devices, you can replace the devices in turn
to find out the defective device in the order of “memory module, CPU,
motherboard, hard/optical disk drive, keyboard/mouse.”
When you find out the defective device, contact your device retailer for service.
c. If the previous instructions fail to fix the problem, you may need to
reformat your hard disk drive and reinstall a new operating system.
3. If the problem emerges after you change the BIOS settings, reboot and enter
the BIOS to load the setup defaults. Refer the motherboard user guide for
details.
4. If the problem comes from a computer virus or a corrupt file, follow the
instructions below to fix the problem.
a. Enter the operating system in safe mode and do a full system virus scan
using an anti-virus application.
c. If the previous instructions fail to fix the problem, you may need to
reformat your hard disk drive and reinstall a new operating system.
3.2.4 FAQs
Q1: The memory reported in POST is different from the memory installed.
A1: The reported difference in memory may result from defective memory
modules or incorrect DIMM installation. Make sure the DIMMs are in good
condition and the DIMMs are installed correctly. Refer to the motherboard
user guide for details. If you install 4.0 GB memory and it reports 3.X GB, it is
normal.
Q2. The system cannot detect the floppy disk drive, but the floopy disk stays lit.
A2: The floopy disk cables are not properly installed. Make sure the red stripe on
the cable (pin1 end) should match pin1 on the floppy disk drive.
Q3: Fail to enter the operating system after the USB flash disk or external hard
disk drives.
A3: When the system detects USB flash disk or USB interface hard disks, it may
change the booting device priority. Remove the USB devices and restart the
system.
Q4: When installing Windows XP, it fails to locate the hard disk drives installed to
the RAID controller.
A4: Windows XP does not include the RAID controller driver so the hard disk
drives are not detected. Copy the RAID controller driver to a floppy disk and
when booting the system with the Windows XP disk, press <F6> to read the
driver from the floppy disk. Refer to the motherboard user guide for details.

Chapter 4: Computer care tips
English
4.1 Proper care of your PC
Your personal computer is like other home appliances. Keep your computer
away from humidity, direct sun, and static electricity source. You should not move
the computer when it is turned on in case of damage. Internal dust will affect
the operating disk drive and contribute to overheating problem which will cause
computer crash or damage the components.
• Remove the dust and hair debris on the power supply unit with an anti-
static vacuum.
1. If your computer will not be used for a long time, put some desiccant moisture
absorbers in the chassis to prevent humidity damage.
2. In some hot and humid climatic areas, you had better turn on your computer
every other week. Doing so also helps prevent humidity damage.

um dos dispositivos de expansão. Reinstale um a um os dispositivos de
expansão que removeu para conseguir detectar o que está defeituoso.
3. Verifique se o problema pode ter origem nos dispositivos básicos que
compõem o sistema.

4.2 Sugestões básicas
1. Cubra o seu computador com uma capa contra o pó quando este não estiver
a ser utilizado.
2. Ao utilizar o computador, não coloque nada sobre o monitor TRC que possa
bloquear os orifícios de ventilação. Um calor excessivo pode levar a um mau
funcionamento do monitor.
3. Não coloque o computador próximo da parede e deixe algum espaço para
permitir a dissipação do calor. Caso contrário, o sistema poderá falhar devido
a um sobreaquecimento do mesmo.
4. Coloque o computador sobre uma superfície estável.
5. Mantenha o computador afastado de zonas com temperaturas extremas.
A temperatura ideal é entre os 5 °C e 30 °C . Utilize um aparelho de ar
condicionado ou uma ventoinha eléctrica para uma melhor dissipação do
calor.
6. Organize os cabos de forma a permitir a livre circulação de ar.
4.4 Sugestões
1. Se o seu computador não for utilizado por longos períodos de tempo, use
produtos que absorvam a humidade do chassis para evitar quaisquer danos.
2. Nalgumas áreas quentes e húmidas, recomendamos-lhe que ligue o seu
computador todas as semanas. Isto ajuda a evitar os danos provocados pela
humidade.
