9. If you installed a display adapter card (and did not connect it

to the feature connector on the main system board), you

must set jumper J6 to disable the built-in VGA adapter.

Otherwise, you will not see any display on the screen. See

“Changing the Jumper Settings” in Chapter 2.

10. If your computer suddenly stops operating, its power

supply thermal detection circuits may have detected

excessive operating temperatures and automatically shut

down the power. This protects your system from damage.

When these circuits detect a high temperature, they shut off

all the DC outputs in the power supply and cause it to go

into latch-off state. This does not damage the power supply,

but you must correct the temperature problem before you

can use your computer again. See “Restoring the Power

Supply” below.

Restoring the Power Supply

To restore normal power supply operation, follow these steps:

1. Turn off the computer and leave it off for at least

30 seconds to reset the power supply logic.

2. To determine the cause of the high temperature and correct

the condition, check for the following:

Room temperature above 90

o

F (32” C). If this is the

case, relocate the computer to a cooler area.

A blocked power supply fan. Make sure there is space

around the power supply fan vents in the back and

sides of the computer case. Remove the computer’s

cover and check both inside and outside the computer

for blockage. Make sure there is ample room around

your system for air circulation.
