5.1.2 BIOS Security Jumper WARNING! Do not move a jumper with the power on. Always turn off the power and unplug the power cord from the computer before changing a jumper setting. Otherwise, the system could be damaged. The illustration below shows the location of the BIOS security jumper. The 3-pin jumper determines the BIOS Security program’s mode.
BIOS Security Jumper Settings Please refer to the table below for jumper settings for the three modes: normal, lockdown, and configuration. Function / Mode Jumper Configuration Setting The BIOS uses current configuration information and Normal 1-2 passwords for booting. The BIOS uses current configuration information and passwords for booting, except: • All POST Hotkeys are suppressed (prompts are not displayed and keys are not accepted. For example, F2 for Setup, F10 for the Boot Menu).
5.1.3 Fan Header Current Capability The table below lists the current capability of the fan headers. Fan Header Maximum Available Current Processor fan 1A 5.1.4 Power Supply Connectors The system has the following power supply connectors: • External Power Supply - the kit can be powered through a 19.5v DC connector on the back panel. The back-panel DC connector is compatible with a 7.4mm/OD and 5.0mm/ID plug, where the inner 0.8mm contact is +19.5V DC (±5%) and the shell is GND.
5.2 Mechanical Considerations 5.2.1 Form Factor 10.63in. (270mm) The illustration below shows the mechanical form factor for the system. Dimensions are given in inches (millimeters). The outer dimensions are 10.63in. x 7.1in. x 1.97in. (270mm x 180mm x 50mm) (not including feet). 1.97in. (50mm) 7.1in.
5.3 Thermal Considerations IMPORTANT! • Failure to ensure appropriate airflow may result in reduced performance of both the processor and/or voltage regulator or, in some instances, damage to the system. All responsibility for determining the adequacy of any thermal or system design remains solely with the system integrator. ASUS makes no warranties or representations that merely following the instructions presented in this document will result in a system with adequate thermal performance.
5.4 Environmental The table below lists the environmental specifications for the system. IMPORTANT! If the external ambient temperature exceeds 35°C, further thermal testing is required to ensure components do not exceed their maximum operating temperature. Parameter Temperature Sustained Storage Limits (i.e. warehouse) Short Duration Limits (i.e.
Parameter Shock (System) Unpackaged/Packaged Specification Random profile 5 Hz @ 0.001 g^2/Hz to 20 Hz @ 0.01 g^2/Hz (slope up) 20 Hz to 500Hz @ 0.01 g^2/Hz (flat) Input acceleration is 2.20gRMS NOTE: • The operating temperature of the system may be determined by measuring the air temperature from the junction of the heatsink fins and fan, next to the attachment screw, in a closed chassis, while the system is in operation.
6. BIOS Support 6.1 Introduction The system uses an AMI BIOS core that is stored in the Serial Peripheral Interface Flash Memory (SPI Flash) and can be updated through multiple methods (see BIOS Updates section). The SPI Flash contains the BIOS Setup program, POST, the PCI auto-configuration utility, LAN EEPROM information, and Plug and Play support. The SPI Flash includes a 32 MB flash memory device.
6.3.1 BIOS Recovery It is unlikely that anything will interrupt a BIOS update; however, if an interruption occurs the BIOS could be unstable. The table below lists the drives and media types that can be used for BIOS recovery. The BIOS recovery media does not need to be made bootable. Media Type Hard disk drive (connected to USB) USB flash drive NVME SSD (M.
6.4.2 Power Button Menu As an alternative to Configuration Mode or normal POST hotkeys, the user can use the power button to access a menu with BIOS and boot options. The Power Button Menu is accessible via the following sequence: 1. System is in S4/S5 (not G3). 2. User pushes the power button and holds it down for 3 seconds. 3. The Front Panel Power Button LED will be on for the first 3 seconds. After 3 seconds, the LED will begin to blink in the following pattern: 0.25 seconds off, 0.25 seconds on, 0.
Power Button Menu Options Keystroke Option Description The BIOS will search for a matching .CAP file from the \EFI folder in the supported media with the supported file system. If a matching recovery capsule is found, the BIOS will display the following: BIOS will Recover to in 20 seconds. [F4] BIOS Recovery [ESC] Cancel Recovery Recovery will proceed if not canceled via the ESC key within 20 seconds. The BIOS shall display the recovery progress. If a BIOS .
6.5 Boot Options The BIOS includes security features that restrict access to the BIOS Setup program and who can boot the computer. A Supervisor and User password can be set for the BIOS Setup program and for booting the computer, with the following restrictions: • The Supervisor password gives unrestricted access to view and change all the Setup options in the BIOS Setup program. This is Supervisor Mode.
The table below shows the effects of setting the Supervisor password and User password. This table is for reference only and is not displayed on the screen.
6.6 BIOS Error Messages Error Message CMOS Battery Failure CMOS Checksum Error Memory Size Decreased CMOS Timer Not Set Processor Thermal Trip Auto RTC Reset Explanation The battery may be losing power. Replace the battery soon. The CMOS checksum is incorrect. CMOS memory may have been corrupted. Run Setup to reset values. Memory size has decreased since the last boot. If no memory was removed, then the memory may be bad. The battery may be losing power. Replace the battery soon. Processor overheated.
