FAQ Why Linux operating system cannot re-install by the same storage device? Make sure the original data had been cleaned on the storage device which will be installed for. - It is recommendation to format the storage device before the installation. Why the display abnormally on screen during Linux installing? 1. Change the other one monitor and try to install again. 2. OS installs in basic graphics mode. Why the display resolution only for 800x600 and 1024x768 at X Window under Basic Graphic Mode? 1.
Ensure the adapter output is DC 12V (min. 60W) Ensure the DC 12V output correctly connect to the system. Attempt to use a different electrical outlet or a different adapter. If your system can not power on via ATX PSU, below are some steps you can fellow to attempt to correct this problem. ATX PSU has some protections. Ensure that PSU PS_ON# signal connect to GND and the PSU output DC 12V to the system. Because the system only use DC 12V, it will not consume 3.3V and 5V output.
Where is the serial number located on my system? The serial number (S/N) is an alpha-numeric character located on the bottom or side chassis. Model: AES-HM76Z1FL P/N:010040xxx S/N:xxxxxxx I CPU: i7 3517UE Memory: DDR3 non ECC 4GB (reference only) How do I connect the second monitors to my system? Basically, there are “duplicate” and “extend” mode for the second monitor. 1. A. duplicate mode –- you will see the same contents on both monitors. B.
Ensure speaker connect to the right connector. Sometimes, audio has been set “MUTE”. If the problem persists, please contact Acrosser FAE or local authorized channel. Please adjust the audio volume louder. My system can not connect to internet? If your system can not connect to internet, below are a few steps you can follow to attempt to correct the issue.
Ensure the Network Connections/Local Area Connection is enabled (right click and choose “Enable”). If the problem persists, please turn off firewall and anti-virus S/W. If the problem still exists, please contact local FAE or service center for tests.
If the Network Connections/Local Area Connection is showed “limited connection” (yellow exclamation mark), please disable and enable your connection to fix this problem. Or, you can unplug and plug the LAN cable to fix the problem. If the problem still persists, please contact your MIS whether there are any DHCP or IP configuration or ISP/WAN setting limitation.
