Utility Program Disk:
Setting Thermal Sensor Threshold:
The system is equipped with sensors to protect against system overheating. By setting video controller and processor thermal thresholds, the system can turn on the cooling fan or shut down automatically when temperatures reach the defined threshold parameters.
For systems experiencing frequent auto sensor shutdown, you might need to reset the thermal sensor threshold and execute the fan test to ensure the normal operation of the cooling fan (refer to "Running Fan Diagnostics Program" on page 34 of the HMM.)
Follow the steps below to set thermal threshold:
1. Boot from the Utility Program Disk.
2. Select Thermal Sensor Utility from PC DOS 7.0 Startup Menu, then the system thermal is executed.
Setting Inverter ID:
There is an EEROM in the inverter which stores its supported LCD type ID code. If you replace the LCD with a different brand, the ID information in the inverter EEROM should be updated.
Follow the steps below to set the LCD Inverter ID:
1. Boot from the Utility Program Disk.
2. Select Inverter ID Utility from PC DOS 7.0 Startup Menu.
3. Follow the instructions on screen to read the current inverter ID code or to set the new inverter ID code.
Note:
When you set a new inverter ID and the new LCD is not yet enabled (to function), connect an external monitor to see the program execution process.
Important:
Make sure the new ID code you choose corresponds with the LCD brand and type. If you select a wrong ID into the inverter, reboot and rerun the program to input the correct ID code.
4. Restart computer the new LCD should work normally.
Note:
If LCD does not display after changing the ID code, make sure you select the correct ID code, or try reseating the LCD FPC cable connectors.
