User’s Manual

Product Warranty

Avalue warrants to you, the original purchaser, that each of its products will be free from

defects in materials and workmanship for two years from the date of purchase.

This warranty does not apply to any products which have been repaired or altered by

persons other than repair personnel authorized by Avalue, or which have been subject to

misuse, abuse, accident or improper installation. Avalue assumes no liability under the

terms of this warranty as a consequence of such events. Because of Avalue’s high

quality-control standards and rigorous testing, most of our customers never need to use our

repair service. If any of Avalue’s products is defective, it will be repaired or replaced at no

charge during the warranty period. For out-of-warranty repairs, you will be billed according

to the cost of replacement materials, service time, and freight. Please consult your dealer

for more details. If you think you have a defective product, follow these steps:

1. Collect all the information about the problem encountered. (For example, CPU type and

speed, Avalue’s products model name, hardware & BIOS revision number, other

hardware and software used, etc.) Note anything abnormal and list any on-screen

messages you get when the problem occurs.

2. Call your dealer and describe the problem. Please have your manual, product, and any

helpful information available.

3. If your product is diagnosed as defective, obtain an RMA (return material authorization)

number from your dealer. This allows us to process your good return more quickly.

4. Carefully pack the defective product, a complete Repair and Replacement Order Card

and a photocopy proof of purchase date (such as your sales receipt) in a shippable

container. A product returned without proof of the purchase date is not eligible for

warranty service.

5. Write the RMA number visibly on the outside of the package and ship it prepaid to your

dealer.

1. Getting Started

1.1 Safety Precautions

Warning!

Always completely disconnect the power cord from your

chassis whenever you work with the hardware. Do not

make connections while the power is on. Sensitive

electronic components can be damaged by sudden power

surges. Only experienced electronics personnel should

open the PC chassis.

Caution!

Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before

touching the CPU card. Modern electronic devices are very

sensitive to static electric charges. As a safety precaution,

use a grounding wrist strap at all times. Place all electronic

components in a static-dissipative surface or static-shielded

bag when they are not in the chassis.

1.2 Packing List

1.4 Manual Objectives

This manual describes in detail the Avalue Technology ERX-G41 motherboard.

We have tried to include as much information as possible but we have not duplicated

information that is provided in the standard IBM Technical References, unless it proved to

be necessary to aid in the understanding of this board.

We strongly recommend that you study this manual carefully before attempting to interface

with ERX-G41 series or change the standard configurations. Whilst all the necessary

information is available in this manual we would recommend that unless you are confident,

you contact your supplier for guidance.

Please be aware that it is possible to create configurations within the CMOS RAM that

make booting impossible. If this should happen, clear the CMOS settings, (see the

description of the Jumper Settings for details).

If you have any suggestions or find any errors concerning this manual and want to inform

us of these, please contact our Customer Service department with the relevant details.
