6. Bruk av hovedkortet

6.1 Første oppstart og BIOS-oppsett

1. Etter at du har satt sammen alle komponentene, kobler du til skjermen, tastaturet og musen.
2. Power on your system. During the initial boot sequence, repeatedly press the DEL or F2 key (common for JINGSHA motherboards) to enter the BIOS/UEFI setup utility.
3. I BIOS må du kontrollere at alle installerte komponenter (CPU, RAM, lagring) oppdages riktig.
4. Konfigurer oppstartsrekkefølgen for å prioritere installasjonsmediet til operativsystemet (USB-stasjon eller DVD).
5. Lagre endringene og avslutt BIOS. Systemet vil starte på nytt.

6.2 Installasjon av operativsystem

Follow the instructions provided with your operating system (e.g., Windows, Linux) to complete the installation process. Ensure you install all necessary drivers for the motherboard's chipsets, network, audio, and other components from the manufacturer's website or included driver disc.

7. Vedlikehold

Riktig vedlikehold sikrer lang levetid og stabil drift av hovedkortet ditt.

• Støvfjerning: Fjern regelmessig støv fra hovedkortet og komponentene med trykkluft. Sørg for at systemet er slått av og koblet fra strømnettet før rengjøring.
• BIOS-oppdateringer: Periodically check the Docooler or JINGSHA official website for BIOS updates. BIOS updates can improve compatibility, stability, and performance. Follow update instructions carefully to avoid damaging the motherboard.
• Driveroppdateringer: Hold systemdriverne oppdatert for å sikre optimal ytelse og kompatibilitet med ny programvare og maskinvare.
• Miljøforhold: Operate the motherboard in a well-ventilated environment with stable temperature and humidity to prevent overheating and component degradation.

8. Feilsøking

Denne delen tar for seg vanlige problemer du kan støte på.

8.1 Ingen strøm / Ingen oppstart

• Sørg for at 24-pinners ATX- og 8-pinners CPU-strømkontakter er ordentlig koblet til hovedkortet.
• Check if the power supply unit (PSU) is switched on and connected to a working power outlet.
• Verify that the front panel power button cable is correctly connected to the motherboard's header.

8.2 Ingen skjermutgang

• Ensure your graphics card (if dedicated) is properly seated in its PCI-E slot and has all necessary power cables connected.
• Check that your monitor cable is securely connected to the graphics card or motherboard (if integrated graphics are used, though X99 typically requires a dedicated GPU).
• Try reseating your RAM modules. Incorrectly seated RAM is a common cause of no display.

8.3 POST Code Display (Digital Diagnostic Card)

The motherboard is equipped with a digital diagnostic card (POST code display) that shows a two-digit code during boot-up. Refer to the motherboard's detailed technical documentation (often available on the manufacturer's website) for a list of POST codes and their meanings. This can help pinpoint the exact component causing a boot failure.
