9. If you installed an EGA or VGA display adapter card, or

another type of card that you want to be the primary

display adapter, you must set jumper JP4 to disable the

built-in VGA adapter. Otherwise, you will not see any

display on the screen. See “Changing the Jumper Settings”

in Chapter 6 for instructions.

If you are using one or more display adapter cards, you

may also need to change the setting of jumper JP6. This

jumper tells the computer whether you are using a color or

monochrome monitor. (JP6 is set for color at the factory.)

When this jumper is set incorrectly, you see a CRT error

message.

If you are using two different video cards, set jumper JP10

to the primary monitor type. See “Changing the Jumper

Settings” in Chapter 6 for instructions.

10. If your computer suddenly stops operating, its power

supply thermal detection circuits may have detected

excessive operating temperatures and automatically shut

down the power. This protects your system from damage

due to overheating.

When these circuits detect a high temperature, they shut off

all the DC outputs in the power supply and cause it to go

into latch-offstate. This does not damage the power supply,

but you must correct the temperature problem before you

can use your computer again. See “Restoring the Power

Supply,” below.
