SD36G5

POST issue on Shuttle G5 models - check setting of jumper JP4.

  1. Most of the time when your system won't post it is because the J4 jumper pins are loose and losing connection to the motherboard. This means, when you turn on your computer it won't show anything on the screen, known as the No-Post issue.
  2. To fix this, please unplug the power cord first, then open the case and remove jumper J4 from the motherboard and put it back in place upside down.
  3. Now please restart the computer and the BIOS screen should appear.

G-Series

The maximum size of a card that fits in the G-Series is 206 mm (L) × 98 mm (H) × 16 mm (D). But due to the different layout designs of each model and VGA card, we strongly suggest to check our VGA support list for each model or test before purchasing the VGA card.

You may otherwise download it from our website or take it from the driver CD. Proceed with D:\Intel\F6 install\F6flpy32.exe and answer all prompts presented (Assuming your CD-ROM drives label is D.)
  4. Now begin to install Windows MCE.
  5. Press the F6 function key when the RAID setup message screen comes up.
  6. Press the S key to select the AHCI driver.
  7. Insert the floppy disk you prepared with the driver into the floppy drive.
