Question:
After flashing the BIOS my system does not have video.
How can I correct this?
Answer:
If the system does not have video after flashing your new BIOS,
it indicates that the flashing procedure failed. To fix this, first clear CMOS
per the instructions in this manual and retry the BIOS flashing procedure. If
you still do not have video, please use the following
BIOS Recovery Pro-
cedure
. First, make sure the JPWAKE jumper is disabled. Boot up the
system from a Windows boot disk. Type A:\>phlash /B=X6DHR-8G2.Bin /s /
cz/mode=3 /mfg [BIOS filename.rom] or A:\>phx7505 [BIOS filename.rom].
The system will flash BIOS from here and reboot once it finishes.
To recover BIOS: a recovery flash requires an update key over the COM
port as follows: hardwire Pin4 wires to Pin8 and Pin9, Pin7 wires to Pin6,
Pin3 wires to Pin2 and leave Pin 1 and Pin 5 open. Use the Supermicro CD
to make a “Phoenix BIOS Crisis Disk for Supermicro Mainboard”. This disk
includes a BIOS file named “bios.rom”. Please note, this BIOS file can be
changed to a different Phoenix BIOS file as long as it’s named “bios.rom”.
Connect the serial key to the COM port, insert the recovery disk into floppy
drive and power on the system. When the system starts to read the disk,
remove the serial key immediately. When the system is done with the BIOS
recovery, it will automatically reboot.
Question:
What's on the CD that came with my motherboard?
Answer:
The supplied compact disc has quite a few drivers and programs
that will greatly enhance your system. We recommend that you review the
CD and install the applications you need. Applications on the CD include
chipset drivers for Windows and security and audio drivers.
