Safety Instructions
WARNING
High voltages are present inside the chassis when the unit’s power cord is plugged
into an electrical outlet. Turn off system power, turn off the power supply, and then
disconnect the power cord from its source before removing the chassis cover. Turning
off the system power switch does not remove power to components.
To help avoid possible damage to system boards, wait five seconds after
turning off the computer before removing a component, removing a system
board, or disconnecting a peripheral device from the computer.
When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain-relief loop,
not on the cable itself. Some cables have a connector with locking tabs. If you
are disconnecting this type of cable, press in on the locking tabs before
disconnecting the cable. As you pull connectors apart, keep them evenly
aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. Also, before connecting a cable,
make sure both connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to service the system yourself except as explained in this user’s guide.
Follow installation and troubleshooting instructions closely.

Humidity
High-humidity can cause moisture to enter and accumulate in the system. This
moisture can cause corrosion of internal components and degrade such
properties as electrical resistance and thermal conductivity. Extreme moisture
buildup inside the system can result in electrical shorts, which can cause
12
Altitude
Operating a system at a high altitude (low pressure) reduces the efficiency of
the cooling fans to cool the system. This can cause electrical problems related
to arcing and corona effects. This condition can also cause sealed components
with internal pressure, such as electrolytic capacitors, to fail or perform at
reduced efficiency.
Power Protection
The greatest threats to a system’s supply of power are power loss, power spikes,
and power surges caused by electrical storms, which interrupt system operation
and/or damage system components. To protect your system, always properly
ground power cables and one of the following devices.
Surge Protector
Surge protectors are available in a variety of types and usually provide a level
of protection proportional with the cost of the device. Surge protectors prevent
voltage spikes from entering a system through the AC power cord. Surge
protectors, however, do not offer protection against brownouts, which occur
when the voltage drops more than 20 percent below the normal AC line voltage
level.
Line Conditioner
Line conditioners go beyond the over voltage protection of surge protectors.
Line conditioners keep a system’s AC power source voltage at a fairly constant
level and, therefore, can handle brownouts. Because of this added protection,
line conditioners cost more than surge protectors. However, line conditioners
cannot protect against a complete loss of power.
13
running when AC power is lost. The battery is charged by the AC power while it
is available, so when AC power is lost, the battery can provide power to the
system for a limited amount of time, depending on the UPS system.
UPS systems range in price from a few hundred dollars to several thousand
dollars, with the more expensive unit s allowing you to run larger systems for a
longer period of time when AC power is lost. UPS systems that provide only 5
minutes of battery power let you conduct an orderly shutdown of the system,
but are not intended to provide continued operation. Surge protectors should be
used with all UPS systems, and the UPS system should be Underwriters
Laboratories (UL) safety approved.

Hardware Settings
Overview
This chapter provides the definitions and locations of jumpers, headers, and
connectors.
Jumpers
The product has several jumpers which must be properly configured to ensure
correct operation.
For a three-pin jumper (see Figure 3), the jumper setting is designated “1-2” when
the jumper connects pins 1 and 2. The jumper setting is designated “2-3” when pins
2 and 3 are connected and so on. You will see that one of the lines surrounding a
jumper pin is thick, which indicates pin No.1.
To move a jumper from one position to another, use needle-nose pliers or tweezers
to pull the pin cap off the pins and move it to the desired position.

Chapter 4
Overview
This chapter provides a description of the AMI BIOS. The BIOS setup menus and
available selections may vary from those of your product. For specific information on
the BIOS for your product, please contact Quanmax.
NOTE: The BIOS menus and selections for your product may vary from those in this
chapter. For the BIOS manual specific to your product, please contact Quanmax
AMI's ROM BIOS provides a built-in Setup program, which allows the user to modify
the basic system configuration and hardware parameters. The modified data will be
stored in a battery-backed CMOS, so that data will be retained even when the power
is turned off. In general, the information saved in the CMOS RAM will not need to be
changed unless there is a configuration change in the system, such as a hard drive
replacement or when a device is added.
It is possible for the CMOS battery to fail, which will cause data loss in the CMOS
only. If this happens you will need to reconfigure your BIOS settings.
35
Main Menu
The BIOS Setup is accessed by pressing the DEL key after the Power-On Self-Test
(POST) memory test begins and before the operating system boot begins. Once you
enter the BIOS Setup Utility, the Main Menu will appear on the screen. The Main
Menu provides System Overview information and allows you to set the System Time
and Date. Use the “<” and “>” cursor keys to navigate between menu screens.
