Intermittent Problems

0

Intermittent system hang problems can be caused by a variety of reasons that have nothing to
do with a hardware defect, such as: cosmic radiation, electrostatic discharge, or software
errors. FRU replacement should be considered only when a recurring problem exists.
When analyzing an intermittent problem, perform the following:

1. Run the advanced diagnostic test for the system board in loop mode at least 10 times.
2. If no error is detected, do not replace any FRU.
3. If an error is detected, replace the FRU. Rerun the test to verify that there are no more
errors.

Undetermined Problems

Clearing Password Check and BIOS Recovery

0

This section provides procedures for:
Clearing Passwords
BIOS Recovery.
This Machine has one Hardware Open Gap on the main board for clearing password check
and one Hotkey for enabling BIOS Recovery.

Clearing Password Check
NOTE:

0

NOTE:

The following procedure is only for clearing BIOS Password (Supervisor Password and
User Password).

Steps for Clearing BIOS Password Check

0

If users set BIOS Passwords (Supervisor Password and/or User Password) for a security
reason, BIOS will ask the password during systems POST or when system enters the BIOS
Setup menu. If it is necessary to bypass the password check, short the HW Gap to clear the
password by performing the following steps:
1. Remove power from the system.
2. Remove HDD, AC and Battery.
3. Disconnect the RTC Battery (Figure 5-1 Item10).
4. Locate the RTCRST# jumper (Figure 5-3).
5. Use an electric conductivity tool to short the two points of the RTCRST# jumper.
6. Plug in AC, keeping the RTCRST# jumper shorted.
7. Press Power Button until BIOS POST is finished, then remove the conductivity tool from
the RTCRST# jumper.
8. Restart the system. Press F2 to enter BIOS Setup menu.
9. If there is no Password request, BIOS Password is cleared.
10. If a password is requested, repeat Steps 1 through 9.

BIOS Recovery by Crisis Disk

0

BIOS Recovery Boot Block

0

BIOS Recovery Boot Block is a special block of BIOS, used to boot the system with minimum
BIOS initialization. Users can enable this feature to restore the BIOS firmware once the
previous BIOS flashing process failed.

BIOS Recovery Hotkey

0

A function hotkey- < Fn+Esc >, used to enable the BIOS Recovery process when system is
powered On during BIOS POST. To use this function, it is strongly recommended to have the
AC adapter and Battery present. If this function is enabled, the system will force the BIOS to
enter a special BIOS block, called Boot Block.

Steps for BIOS Recovery from USB Storage
NOTE:

0

NOTE:

Prior to performing the recovery, prepare a Crisis USB key. The Crisis USB key is
created by executing the Crisis Disk program in another system with Windows 7 OS.
To Create a Crisis USB key, perform the following:
1. Format the USB storage disk using the Fast Format option.
2. Save ROM file (File name:MA50X64.FD) to the root directory of USB storage. Make sure
that there is no other BIOS file saved in the same directory.
3. Plug USB storage into USB port.
4. Press < Fn+ESC > button then plug in AC power.
5. The Power button flashes once.
6. Press Power button to initiate system CRISIS mode.
7. When CRISIS is complete, the system auto restarts with a workable BIOS.
8. Update the latest version BIOS for this machine by regular BIOS flashing process.
