SH55J2

An integrated hardware protection of the Intel chipset prevents the machine from switching on, if there is no CPU or memory installed, as this could heavily damage other components. Please install CPU and memory first.

Population rule for dual-channel mode

In dual-channel mode, the memory modules transmit and receive data over two data bus lines simultaneously. Enabling dual-channel mode will enhance system performance. The following illustrations explain the population rules for dual-channel mode.

Because of the SH55J2's onboard graphics card is built-in by the CPU, and some CPUs have graphics built-in, some haven't in the LGA1156 generation. So, please make sure which kind of CPU you need before buying the CPU. Below is a table to separate which series has graphics or not.

Processor Integrated Graphics Card
Intel Core i7-8xx Series
Intel Core i5-7xx Series
Intel Core i5-6xx Series
Intel Core i3-5xx Series
Intel Pentium Series

Reason: Windows files on installation CD are too old for SH55J2 hardware.

Solution: Use Windows XP installation CD with integrated service pack 2 or higher.

Reason: Machine uses old BIOS which is not compatible to i5-6xx CPU series.

Solution: BIOS Update to V1.06 or later version.
