Up-/Downgrading a SDisk DIMM Module
If you want to change the SDisk DIMM module configuration for upgrade or downgrade reasons the
new configuration has to be "recognized" and initialized by the
super
MOPS
pro
.
If you make a upgrade or downgrade of the SDisk, you have to note, that all your data stored on the
old configuration is not accessable anymore, because the new configuration must be initialized and
formated afterwards.
For upgrade or downgrade execute the following steps:
1
Power up your system with the old SDisk configuration and enter the extension BIOS setup
mask with <ALT> + <F1>.
2
Write down the current settings of the following items for the extension BIOS on a piece of
paper
.
Disk-Map, General-Control, Watchdog.
3
Leave the extension BIOS with <ESC> key and switch the power off.
4
Plug your new SDisk configuration into the corresponding socket and switch power on.
5
While the message
”
SuperMOPSpro Setup”
is displayed, press the <INS> key.
This will cause the extended BIOS to check the installed SDisk in your system and set the
other configuration to defined values.
6
The extension BIOS setup mask will be displayed.
Note, that the standard BIOS values are now inserted. The screen should look like this:
