    BIOS Questions

    How do I get into the BIOS setup?

    Keep hitting the DELETE key during the system memory count.

     

    Do you have a BIOS history file that includes the problem(s) fixed for each revision of the BIOS?

    Yes, click here for the file.

     

    How do I update or flash my BIOS?

    Updated BIOS are available on our FTP site.

     

    I have flashed my BIOS, but now I get no video!

    Try clearing your CMOS (see above). Make sure you've flashed the BIOS using the correct BIOS for your system board; flashing the wrong BIOS will render the board inoperable.

    Hardware Questions

    How do I enable or disable the onboard audio?

    Hit the DELETE key during power up to go into the BIOS, and then go to Advanced Chipset Features. Set the OnChip Sound feature to DISABLED. Set it to AUTO to enable it.

     

    I've turned the system on, but I'm getting no power (i.e., power supply fan does not spin).

    Make sure the cable from the case's power switch is connected properly to the board's power on jumper; refer to the motherboard manual. Try reseating the ATX power connector to the motherboard. Disconnect all the power connectors to your HDD, FDD, CD-ROM, etc. then try powering the system up. Try replacing the ATX power supply.

     

    I have two USB ports in the back, how do I enable them?

    Windows NT 4.0 currently do not support USB. Windows 98/98SE, Windows 2000, Windows Me, and Windows XP all comes with native USB drivers.

     

    What kind of Rambus RIMMs should I use?

    The motherboard accepts PC800, ECC or non-ECC RIMMs.

     

    Can I use just one RIMM?

    No, you must populate it in pairs.

     

    Does the system support ECC memory?

    Yes.

     

    What is the system's maximum memory capacity?

    It is 4.0GB using eight 512MB RIMMs.

    For the keyboard lock jumper, putting a jumper on it will lock the keyboard; so it should be open by default. If the HDD LED, power LED, or speaker doesn't work, try reversing the connector.
