Q: I power on the system, but the CPU speed is not correct. Why?
A: This applies to Engineering Sample processor ONLY.
If you have ever loaded
the BIOS optimal default, thank you for doing so. However, this will force the
BIOS to pick up the default CPU core/bus ratio as well. It needs to be
emphasized again that
96M4011o
does not have switch or jumper to
configure CPU core/bus ratio. This is done through BIOS automatically. Please
check in the “Frequency/Voltage Control” section of Chapter 4 (4-11) to adjust
this core/bus ratio (only available when you plug in the engineering sample
processor from Intel). System default setting is automatically setting when you
plug in commercial processors from Intel and you will not see the CPU Clock
Ratio item in the BIOS setting screen.
Q: I connect two IDE devices over one IDE flat cable, but the system either does
not start, or just hangs from time to time. Why ?
A:
Make sure that you have configured the two IDE devices as a master and a slave,
respectively.
Q: I am using an ATA-66 (or 100) hard drive, how can I know that ATA-66
function is started??
A:
You need to use the 80-pin ATA-66 IDE flat cable to have this function ready.
During POST, you can see ATA-66 (or 100) message while hard drive is being
detected. Besides, after Microsoft series OS installation successfully, you must
install ATA-66/100 driver, then the function can be active.
