How to set up Jumper
The illustration shows to how set up jumper. When the Jumper cap is placed on pins, the
jumper is “close”. IF no jumper cap is placed on the pins, the jumper is ”open”. The
illustration shows a 3-pin jumper whose pin1and 2 are “close” when jumper cap is placed
on these 2 pins.

CPU Installation
Step1: Pull the lever sideways away from the socket and then raise the lever up to a
90-degree angle.
Step2: Look for the white dot/cut edge. The white dot/cut edge should point wards the lever
pivot. The CPU will fit only in the correct orientation.
Step3: Hold the CPU down firmly, and then close the lever to complete the installation.
Step4: Put the CPU Fan on the CPU and buckle it. Connect the CPU fan power cable to
the JCFAN1. This completes the installation.

StudioFun!
Introduction
StudioFun! is a media-player based on optimized GNU/Linux distribution. It plays DVD,
VCD, MP3, Audio CD and various other known file formats. You can take snapshots of
video and customize the saved images as screensavers. You can also store the images
on USB mass storage devices like flash disks and USB floppy disks.
Hardware Requirements
The supported hardware list of StudioFun! grows up every day. So please check the
hwreq.txt located in the root of StudioFun! Installation CD to get the most updated
information.
Installation Procedure
Insert the StudioFun! Installation CD in a CD/DVD ROM drive and let the system boot
through the CD. The disk will boot and bring up the grub boot loader installation menu.
Two options are specified.

17
Installation
This option will do the basic installation of the distribution. The installation works on
pre-installed windows or GNU/Linux distribution.
On selecting the ’installation’ option the installer boots and displays a dialog box indicating
the space required and waits for a confirmation. Selecting Ok will continue the installation
while selecting Cancel will terminate the installation and reboot the machine.
If Windows or GNU/Linux is the only OS installed on the hard disk with no free space, it
will resize the partition, either NTFS or FAT32 or ext2, and install StudioFun!. In case the
hard disk has a 128MB of free space available, the installation will use the free space.
After installing the base system you will be prompted to select the resolution from the
following choices
1. 1024x768 (recommended)
2. 800x600
3. 640x480
Select the desired resolution. The default is 1024x768 for high-end graphics.
Next you will be prompted to choose the DVD area/region selection code. Choose this
based on the type of DVDs you will be playing.
The installation procedure will then probe for the type of mouse installed. The distribution
currently supports PS/2, USB and Serial mice. In case of serial mouse you will have to
move the mouse when prompted. The other two are probed and installed automatically.
The installation procedure will now finish, the CD is ejected and a dialog box prompting to
reboot the machine is displayed. Press OK button and enjoy StudioFun!.
3.1.1 Error Messages
1. Media corrupted!! Please check the media! The CD-ROM is corrupted.
2. Extraction of base system failed!! Please try again later!! The CD-ROM is corrupted.
3. Unsupported hardware found, Aborting... If you try to install StudioFun! on an
unsupported and undocumented hardware the above error message is popped.
4. No device found! This error message is given if there is no hard disk in the system.

18
Recovery
In case of a MBR corruption, this option should be used. It will automatically probe the
hard disk master boot record and find out the installed operating system(s). On success it
will re-install the boot loader with correct options in the MBR. Any custom boot loader
option specified from other GNU/Linux installations will get over written by the newly
probed one.
Booting to StudioFun!
After Installation is over, remove the CD from the CD-ROM and restart the machine. After
the machine reboots, you will get the GRUB boot loader menu screen. Select the
StudioFun option to boot to the StudioFun! partition.
