Attaching such as power switch, reset switch, HDD LED connector, etc to corresponding

pins.

9. WOL (Wake on LAN) Connector

To use Wake On LAN function, you must have an Ethernet card with chipset that supports

this feature, and connect a cable from LAN card to motherboard WOL connector. The

system identification information (probably IP address) is stored on network card and

because there is a lot of traffic on the Ethernet, you need to install network management

software, such as ADM, for the checking of how to wake up the system.

This motherboard provides two serial ports. One of them is on back panel connector, and

the other is on the upper middle of board. With proper cable, you can connect it to the back

panel of chassis.

6. Advanced 64-bit PCI-X Slots

DXPN-U provides four 64-bit/66/100MHz PCI-X and one 32-bit/33MHz PCI slots. The

64-bit/66/100MHz PCI-X slots maximizes I/O bandwidth for the next generation 64-bit PCI-X

cards that support 100MHz bus. The PCI-X specification 1.0a allows full peer-to-peer

transactions between PCI buses and provides options for intelligent I/O and server

management cards.

The Intel 82540 integrates Intel’s fourth-generation Gigabit MAC design with fully

integrated, physical-layer circuitry to provide a standard IEEE 802.3 Ethernet interface for

1000BASE-T and 100BASE-TX applications. The left green LED indicates the link mode, it

lights when linking to network and blinking when transferring data in 100Mbps mode. The

right green LED indicates the transfer mode and it lights when data is transferring in 1Gbps

mode.

17. Power-On and Load BIOS Setup

15.JP4 BIOS Configuration / Recovery Select Jumper

14. JP3 Clear CMOS Jumper

You can clear CMOS to restore system default setting. To

clear the CMOS, follow the procedure below.

1. Turn off the system and unplug the AC power.

2. Remove ATX power cable from connector PWR2.

3. Locate JP3 and short pins 2-3 for a few seconds.

4. Return JP3 to its normal setting by shorting pin

1 & pin 2.

5. Connect ATX power cable back to connector PWR2.

Tip: When should I Clear CMOS?

1. Boot fails because of overclocking…

2. Forget password…

3. Troubleshooting…

Normal Operation

(default)

You can use JP4 to configure or recover your BIOS. The factory default setting is set to

“Normal” (1-2), and you may configure your BIOS by setting the jumper to 2-3, and recover

your BIOS by removing the jumper.

After you finish the setting of jumpers and connect correct cables. Power on and enter the

BIOS Setup, press <Del> during POST (Power On Self Test). Choose "Load Default

Settin

" for recommended o

timal

erformance.

16. STBY LED

STBY LED is AOpen’s considerate designs that we aim at providing you friendly system

information. The STBY LED will light up when power is provided to the motherboard. This

is a convenient indication for you to check the system power status in many circumstances

such as power on/off, stand-by mode and RAM power status.

Configure Normal (default)

Recovery

If you encounter any trouble to boot you system, follow the

procedures accordingly to resolve the problem.

18. BIOS version

BIOS V4.1 R1.02 EN RAS

BIOS version can be found on upper left corner of first boot screen (POST screen). For

example:

BIOS Version : R1.02 Jan 17, 2003

Part Number and Serial Number

The Part Number and Serial number are printed on bar code label. You can find this

bar code label on the outside packing, on PCI slot or on component side of PCB. For

example:

P/N: 91.88110.201 is part number, S/N: 91949378KN73 is serial number.

Part No. Serial No.

Part No.

Serial No.

Make sure if the jumper settings for CPU and DRAMs are correct.

Clear CMOS.

Install the VGA card. Then connect your monitor and keyboard.

The problem was probably caused

by power supply or motherboard

failure. Please contact your reselle

or local distributor for repairing.

Perhaps your VGA card or monito

is defective.

Yes

It is very possible that your keyboard

is defective.

During system rebooting, press Del to enter BIOS Setup. Choose

“Load Setup Default".

The problem should be caused by the

IDE cables or HDD itself.

Re-install Windows 95, Windows 98 or Windows NT.

Yes

Turn off the power and unplug the AC power cable, then remove all

of the addon cards and cables, including VGA, IDE, FDD, COM1,

COM2 and Printer.

Turn on the power, and check if

the power supply and CPU fan

work properly.

Start

Check if there is display.

Press Ctrl, and Alt key at the

same time, hold them and then

press Del to see if the

stem reboots.

Turn off the system and

re-connect the IDE cable.

Check if the system can

reboot successfully.

End

Note: If using some DIMMs beyond available list, press F10

key when power on, may solve some DIMMs issues.
