UEFI BIOS Help-Chassis Intruision

ChooseCooMcGoo · Jan 4, 2014

Hello, I just recently put a computer together and i keep getting a Chassis Intrusion error. The guy at my tech shop said that I could disable the error in my BIOS I searched for twenty minutes and the only thing I did was go under the APM and said to ignore the Chassis fan. please help.

what motherboard?

ChooseCooMcGoo · Jan 4, 2014

Sorry, forgot to mention ASUS M5A97 Le R2

From the manual: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/SocketAM3+/M5A97_LE_R2.0/E8047_M5A97_LE_R2.pdf

pg 1-23 to physically unhook the cable.

That's also part of the problem... Ilost the jumper caps if thats what youmean. i'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to computers, so what cable do you mean? I'll reply if I figure it out on my own.

So, if I lost the jumper cap,can I just place a "HDD LED" over the cap?

USAFRet · Jan 4, 2014

ChooseCooMcGoo :

Well..it's supposed to have either the jumper on it, or the cable which is attached to the case. I would imagine that no cable OR no jumper would result in Intrusion = YES.

So find the jumper, or buy one somewhere, or otherwise disable the case switch.

USAFRet · Jan 4, 2014

ChooseCooMcGoo :

I wouldn't. The jumper is there to short out the signal.

I'm very thankful and all, but how would I disable the case switch? Is that also in the manual?

ChooseCooMcGoo · Jan 4, 2014

thank you very much for all of your help. Last question, would tinfoil work as a jumper cap? I heard somewhere that it would.

USAFRet · Jan 4, 2014

ChooseCooMcGoo :

There is probably a springloaded switch. Open the case, and it sends a pulse to the motherboard "Hey! Someone opened me!"

To disable, you'd have to find a way to make it always closed. How, exactly? Without looking at it, I couldn't tell.

But the location would be in the user manual for the case, not the motherboard.

If it were me, I'd just reach into my little container of random crap and pull out a jumper.

Thank you. I'm not sure I want to open up my entire case, so can I use tinfoil?

USAFRet · Jan 4, 2014

ChooseCooMcGoo :

Tinfoil for what? To short out those pins?
I smell smoke in your near future.

ChooseCooMcGoo · Jan 4, 2014

USAFRet :

Haha.Must have been a troll... What do you recommend I use (any household item)?

USAFRet · Jan 4, 2014

ChooseCooMcGoo :

Substitute for the jumper? hmm...
I can't think of anything small enough and not prone to fall off other than a jumper
Or find the case switch, and make it permanently closed.

But now that the PC is built, how often will you be opening the case?

Not at all if I can just fix the dang Chassis error. Would waxpaper work?

If you don't open the case, you should not be getting that message. If you are.....something is not right.

Hmm. I always close the side-panel. What could be wrong?

Right. If you open it, the PC knows, and tells you on the next startup.
If you do not open it, and just reboot....does it still report a chassis intrusion?

It shouldn't.
If it does, then something is wrong.

Of course something is wrong. He never connected the MB to the case intrusion switch, which is prolly not even present on his case.

I think that you best bet is to do what the tech at the shop said and disable the feature in the BIOS.

I refuse to look it up for you so get your MB manual out, find the section about the BIOS and start reading!

By default, there is supposed to be a jumper on those pins. Apparently, he 'lost' them.

ChooseCooMcGoo · Jan 4, 2014

I went to my tech shop and they gave me some power pins. Will update.

Well, I got some pins from my tech store, and the computer is working just fine. Thank you for correcting me. Have a good day.
