Use the following procedures to troubleshoot your system. If you have
followed all of the procedures below and still need assistance, refer to the
‘Technical Support Procedures’ and/or ‘Returning Merchandise for Service’
section(s) in this chapter.
Note: Always disconnect the power cord before adding, changing
or installing any hardware components.
Notes:
1) It might take longer than usual (up to 40 seconds) to boot up the system.
(The larger the memory size is, the longer it will take to boot the
system.)
2) Please wait at least 10 seconds between power off and power on for
proper VRMs discharge.
3) The i2DMR-8G2/iG2 supports Limited ACPI functions (only the functions
of: “S0-Active”, and “S5-Complete power off” are supported).
4) The minimum power requirement is 500W and above. Also, two 4-pin
12V/15A power connectors are required for CPU Power Pods (VRMs).
5) There is no BIOS Recovery function available. Should a problem occur
after flashing BIOS, all six BIOS chips will have to be replaced.

for the keyboard and mouse.
