From fit-PC wiki
1. Intense PC BIOS reset:

- b. Open the service door (by screwing out one bolt) and remove it (with the storage).
- c. Remove the memory SO-DIMM modules.
- d. Reset the BIOS by shorting for 3 seconds two test points (TP73 and TP77) located under SO-DIMMs memory modules (with print RTC_RST).
- e. Install back the memories + the storage with the service door.
- f. Plug the power and power up the PC.
2. Try to answer the following questions:
- a. Are you able to power up without storage?
- b. What type of storage being used in terms of RPM (in case of HDD)?
- Note that 7200rpm drives are not recommended due to lower power nature of the PC, as such drives used to overload the machine. 5400rpm drives at maximum must be used.
