Troubleshooting

This section provides a few useful tips to quickly get WADE-8212 running with success. This section will primarily focus on system integration issues, in terms of BIOS setting, and OS diagnostics.
8.1 Hardware Quick Installation
ATX Power Setting
Unlike other Single board computer, WADE-8212 supports ATX only. Therefore, there is no other setting that needs to be set up. However, there are only two connectors that must be connected—J2 (4 pins ATX power connector) & J3 (20 pins ATX Power Connector) on the WADE-8212 board.

Serial ATA
Unlike IDE bus, each Serial ATA channel can only connect to one SATA hard disk at a time;
The installation of Serial ATA is simpler and easier than IDE, because SATA hard disk doesn’t require setting up Master and Slave, which can reduce mistake of hardware installation.

WADE-8212 can support four SATA interface (SATAIII, 6.0Gb/s) on board. It has J5 SATA ports on board.
8.2 BIOS Setting
It is assumed that users have correctly adopted modules and connected all the devices cables required before turning on ATX power. DDR4 SO-DIMM Memory, keyboard, mouse, SATA hard disk, VGA connector, power cable of the device, ATX accessories are good examples that deserve attention. With no assurance of properly and correctly accommodating these modules and devices, it is very possible to encounter system failures that result in malfunction of any device.
To make sure that you have a successful start with WADE-8212, it is recommended, when going with the boot-up sequence, to hit “delete ” or ” Esc” key and enter the BIOS setup menu to tune up a stable BIOS configuration so that you can wake up your system far well.
Loading the default optimal setting
When prompted with the main setup menu, please scroll down to “Restore Defaults”, press “Enter” and select “Yes” to load default optimal BIOS setup. This will force your BIOS setting back to the initial factory configurations. It is recommended to do this so you can be sure the system is running with the BIOS setting that Portwell has highly endorsed. As a matter of fact, users can load the default BIOS setting at any time when system appears to be unstable in boot up sequence.
8.3 FAQ
Information & Support
Question: I forgot my password of system BIOS, what am I supposed to do?
Answer: You can switch off your power supply then find the J10 on the WADE-8212 board to set it from 1-2 short to 2-3 short and wait 5 seconds to clean your password then set it back to 1-2 short to switch on your power supply.
