This system will run without a fan, however a small fan is provided to improve system life. If desired, the user may remove the fan if operating in a normal room temperature of 25 C ( 77 F) or lower. The BIOS does not support variable fan speed vs. temperature.

Tip -> Testing indicates that the video sub-system will be powered down if no VGA/HDMI monitor is attached at POST. There does not appear to be a BIOS setting for this feature.

BIOS Setup for LAN BootROM and Auto-Power-On after Power Failure:

On startup press the <DEL> key to enter the BIOS Setup…

Go to “Advanced” → “Onboard Device Configuration”, select and set:

• Onboard Lan BootROM Control → Disabled

Go to “Advanced” → “Power Management Configuration”, select and set:

• Restore AC Power Loss → Power On

Save the above BIOS changes, reboot.
