User’s Manual 1.6.9 Chrontel CH7009A TV/DVI Transmitter The Chrontel CH7009A is a display controller device which accepts a digital graphics input signal, and encodes and transmits data through a DVI (DFP can also be supported) or TV output (analog composite, s-video or RGB). The device accepts data over one 12-bit wide variable voltage data port which supports five different data formats including RGB and YCrCb.
AIMB-240 Series The RTL8100C(L) also supports Analog Auto-Power-down. The analog part of the RTL8100C(L) can be shut down temporarily according to user requirements, or when the RTL8100C(L) is in a power down state with the wakeup function disabled. When the analog part is shut down and the IsolateB pin is low (i.e. the main power is off), both the analog and digital parts stop functioning and the power consumption of the RTL8100C(L) is negligible.

User’s Manual 2.2 Installation Procedure This chapter explains you the instructions of how to setup your system. 1. Turn off the power supply. 2. Insert the DIMM module (be careful with the orientation). 3. Insert all external cables for hard disk, floppy, keyboard, mouse, USB etc. except for flat panel. A CRT monitor must be connected in order to change CMOS settings to support flat panel. 4. Connect power supply to the board via the ATXPWR. 5. Turn on the power. 6.
AIMB-240 Series 2.2.1.2 Installing the Fan and Heat Sink • Insert the copper studs to the screw holes around the CPU socket from the top through the rear side of the board with screw nuts fastened. Match and place the CPU fan and heat sink assembly on the top of the CPU and copper studs. Tighten the screws into the copper studs through washers and the screw holes around the heat sink.
User’s Manual • Carefully lift up the existing CPU to remove it from the socket. • Follow the steps of installing a CPU to change to another one. Please find below information for the power button connection.
AIMB-240 Series 2.2.2 Main Memory AIMB-240 provides one 184-pin DIMM socket to support DDR SDRAM. The total maximum memory size is 1GB. Make sure to unplug the power supply before adding or removing DIMMs or other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both the board and the components.
User’s Manual • • • • Locate the DIMM slot on the board. Hold two edges of the DIMM module carefully. Keep away of touching its connectors. Align the notch key on the module with the rib on the slot. Firmly press the modules into the slot automatically snaps into the mounting notch. Do not force the DIMM module in with extra force as the DIMM module only fit in one direction. • To remove the DIMM modules, push the two ejector tabs on the slot outward simultaneously, and then pull out the DIMM module.
AIMB-240 Series 2.3 Jumper You can configure your board to match the needs of your application by setting jumpers. A jumper is the simplest kind of electric switch. It consists of two metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected by a plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect them. To “close” a jumper you connect the pins with the clip. To “open” a jumper you remove the clip. Sometimes a jumper will have three pins, labeled 1, 2, and 3. In this case, you would connect either two pins.

AIMB-240 Series Appendix A: AWARD BIOS POST Messages 84 AIMB-240 Series User’s Manual
User’s Manual Overview During the Power On Self-Test (POST), if the BIOS detects an error requiring you to do something to fix, it will either sound a beep code or display a message. If a message is displayed, it will be accompanied by: PRESS F1 TO CONTINUE, CTRL-ALT-ESC OR DEL TO ENTER SETUP Post Beep Currently there are two kinds of beep codes in BIOS. This code indicates that a video error has occurred and the BIOS cannot initialize the video screen to display any additional information.
AIMB-240 Series 5. DISPLAY SWITCH IS SET INCORRECTLY Display switch on the motherboard can be set to either monochrome or color. This indicates the switch is set to a different setting than indicated in Setup. Determine which setting is correct, and then either turn off the system and change the jumper, or enter Setup and change the VIDEO selection. 6. DISPLAY TYPE HAS CHANGED SINCE LAST BOOT Since last powering off the system, the display adapter has been changed.
User’s Manual 12. Invalid EISA Configuration PLEASE RUN EISA CONFIGURATION UTILITY The non-volatile memory containing EISA configuration information was programmed incorrectly or has become corrupt. Re-run EISA configuration utility to correctly program the memory. Note: When either of these errors appears, the system will boot in ISA mode, which allows you to run the EISA Configuration Utility. 13. KEYBOARD ERROR OR NO KEYBOARD PRESENT Cannot initialize the keyboard.
