6. Funcionamiento de la placa base

6.1 Primer arranque y configuración del BIOS

1. Después de ensamblar todos los componentes, conecte el monitor, el teclado y el mouse.
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. En el BIOS, verifique que todos los componentes instalados (CPU, RAM, almacenamiento) se detecten correctamente.
4. Configure el orden de arranque para priorizar el medio de instalación de su sistema operativo (unidad USB o DVD).
5. Save changes and exit BIOS. The system will restart.

6.2 Instalación del sistema operativo

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. Mantenimiento

Un mantenimiento adecuado garantiza la longevidad y el funcionamiento estable de su placa base.

• Eliminación de polvo: Limpie regularmente el polvo de la placa base y los componentes con aire comprimido. Asegúrese de que el sistema esté apagado y desenchufado antes de limpiarlo.
• Actualizaciones del BIOS: 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.
• Actualizaciones de controladores: Mantenga los controladores de su sistema actualizados para garantizar un rendimiento óptimo y compatibilidad con nuevo software y hardware.
• Condiciones ambientales: Operate the motherboard in a well-ventilated environment with stable temperature and humidity to prevent overheating and component degradation.

8. Solución de problemas

Esta sección aborda problemas comunes que podrías encontrar.

8.1 Sin energía/sin arranque

• Ensure the 24-pin ATX and 8-pin CPU power connectors are securely plugged into the motherboard.
• 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 No hay salida de pantalla

• 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.
