Since AF8 senses the CPU speed automatically, you don′t have to set

the jumpers. The AF8 supports PPGA CELERON CPU and FCPGA

PENTIUM ⅢC P U .

The AF8 mainboard supports the system bus clock from 66Mhz to 133Mhz

(the default is 100Mhz).

Set the jumpers according to the CPU clock(set in the closed mode).

FLATOP supports PC-100 and special PC-133 standard memory.

* FLATOP cannot use PC-66 memory. A combination of Celeron CPU and PC-66

memory could cause abnormal operation in the memory.

We don′t recommend this combination.

■C a u t i o n s

1. As memory is vulnerable to static electricity, be careful in inserting and

removing the memory modules.

2. Check the memory module type before you install the new memory

I connected an external monitor, but why are the monitor screens

overlapping and unstable?

F L AT O P′sTFT LCD uses 1024 x 768 resolution. This resolution is

applied to the external monitor. Therefore the screen could be distorted

or tremble. Adjust the external monitor′sresolution according to the

following procedure.

1. Refer to the monitor′sUser Manual and check the supported

r e s o l u t i o n s .

2. Select Di s p l a y from the Control Panel.

3. Select Settings tap in the Display Properties.

4. Set the resolution that the monitor supports and click Ye s

If the above procedure doesn′tsolve the problem, check that the

F L ATOP video driver is correctly configured in the Display Properties

I reinstalled Windows 98. Why do the sound, VGA, and LAN cards

m a l f u n c t i o n ?

To use FLATO P′s sound, VGA, and LAN cards after reinstallation, install

all the drivers provided by the manufacturer again. You can download

those drivers from FLATO P′s website at www. f l a t o p . c o . k r.

T r o u b l e s h o o t i n g

Why does the computer have white or colored spots on its LCD screen?

F L AT O P′s LCD contains about 1 million pixels and bad pixels could occur.

LCDs with higher quality pixels are extremely expensive and beyond the

a f fordability of average users.

We are doing our best to minimize bad pixels. Bad pixels below a certain

level don′t affect the product.

The computer issues a message Keyboard error or no keyboard present

and the keyboard doesn′tfunction. Why?

You can use either a wired or a wireless keyboard by setting the

selection switch for wired/wireless options

Check the following

1. Check the keyboard connection.

2. Check the selection switch for wired/wireless keyboard is correctly set.

3. When the dry battery is used up, the keyboard could malfunction.

Check the battery.

4. If you are using a wireless keyboard, press the ID reset switch on the

k e y b o a r d

How can I find out how to install other operating systems and drivers for

those systems?

Please refer to the FLATOP installation guide or visit our website at

Why doesn′t my FLATOP shutdown automatically under Windows 2000.

1. Click Start and point to S e t t i n g sand then Control Panel. Run the

Power Option and select A P M and then Advanced Power

M a n a g e m e n t . Activate the Enable APM Support.

2. Enable APM, ACPI related items in BIOS′s Power Management and

reinstall Windows 2000.

Why can′t FLATOP recognize the AMR card?

After installing the AMR card, set the AC97 Audio or AC97 Modem to
