Instrucțiuni de operare

BIOS Update Procedure

Updating your motherboard's BIOS can improve compatibility, stability, and performance. Follow these steps carefully:

1. Prepare USB Storage Device: Format a USB storage device (e.g., USB flash drive) to FAT32 format. Other boot disks like PE or DOC cannot be used.
2. Download BIOS File: Visit the official MAXSUN support site (www.maxsun.com.cn/en) to download the latest BIOS file for your MS-Terminator B550M motherboard. Unzip the downloaded file.
3. Copy EFI Folder: Copy the entire extracted EFI folder to the root directory of the USB storage device you prepared.
4. Remove Drives: Before updating the BIOS, remove all hard drives (including M.2 and SATA SSDs) from the motherboard.
5. Intrați în BIOS: Insert your USB storage device into a USB port on the motherboard. Power on the system and repeatedly press the "Delete" key to enter the BIOS interface.
6. Load Optimized Defaults: In the BIOS, press "F9" and then "Enter" to load optimized defaults. Navigate to the "Startup" tab and ensure "Flash Write Protect" is set to "Disabled". Then press "F10" and "Enter" to save and reset.
7. Select USB Boot Device: As the system restarts, repeatedly press the "F11" key to enter the boot device selection menu. Select the USB storage device boot option that starts with "UEFI:".
8. Actualizare automată: The system will automatically execute the program to update the BIOS. This process may take a few minutes.
9. Deconectați USB-ul: When the screen displays "FS0:\EFI\BOOT>" or "FPT Operation Successful", unplug your USB storage device. Otherwise, the system will repeat the update.
10. Restart and Enter New BIOS: Press "Ctrl+Alt+Delete" at the same time. The system will automatically restart and enter the NEW BIOS.
11. Load Optimized Defaults (New BIOS): In the new BIOS, press "F9" and "Enter" to load optimized defaults. Then press "F10" and "Enter" to save and reset.

Întreţinere

Regular maintenance helps prolong the life of your motherboard and ensures stable system operation.

• Îndepărtarea prafului: Periodically use compressed air to clean dust from the motherboard, CPU cooler, and case fans. Dust accumulation can lead to overheating.
• Verificați conexiunile: Ensure all power cables, data cables (SATA, M.2), and component connections (RAM, GPU) are securely seated. Loose connections can cause system instability.
• Actualizări BIOS: Keep your BIOS updated to the latest version as recommended by MAXSUN to benefit from performance improvements, bug fixes, and enhanced compatibility.
• Actualizări de software: Regularly update your operating system drivers (chipset, graphics, audio, network) to maintain system health and security.

Depanare

If you encounter issues with your MAXSUN B550 Terminator motherboard, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Fără afișaj/pornire:
  • Verificați toate conexiunile de alimentare (ATX cu 24 de pini, CPU cu 8 pini, GPU).
  • Reseat RAM modules firmly in their slots. Try booting with only one RAM stick.
  • Ensure the graphics card is properly seated and connected.
  • Clear CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) by removing the CMOS battery for a few minutes or using the clear CMOS jumper (refer to motherboard layout for location).
• Instabilitate/Blocaje ale sistemului:
  • Verificați temperaturile procesorului și ale plăcii grafice pentru a vă asigura că se încadrează în limitele de funcționare sigure.
  • Rulați instrumente de diagnosticare a memoriei pentru a verifica dacă există erori în RAM.
  • Asigurați-vă că toți driverele sunt actualizate.
  • Perform a BIOS update to the latest version (refer to Operating Instructions section).
• Periferic nedetectat:
  • Verify the peripheral is correctly connected to the appropriate port (USB, SATA, M.2).
  • Check device manager in your operating system for driver issues.
  • Ensure the peripheral is enabled in the BIOS settings.
• Probleme cu actualizarea BIOS-ului:
  • Asigurați-vă că unitatea USB este formatată în FAT32 și că BIOS-ul file is correctly placed in the root EFI folder.
  • Double-check that all hard drives were disconnected before attempting the BIOS update.
  • If the update fails, try a different USB port or a different USB drive.
