Frequently Asked Questions

Question: What are the various types of memory that my mother-

board can support?

Answer: The P4DE8/P4DEI/P4DEE has four 184-pin DIMM slots that support

up to 4 GB of registered ECC DDR-200 (PC1600) SDRAM. Unbuffered

SDRAM, non-ECC memory and PC100/133 SDRAM modules are not sup-

ported. Memory is not interleaved so you can install any number of DIMMs

into the memory slots in any order.

Question: How do I update my BIOS?

Answer: It is recommended that you do not upgrade your BIOS if you are

experiencing no problems with your system. Updated BIOS files are located

on our web site at http://www.supermicro.com. Please check our BIOS

warning message and the info on how to update your BIOS on our web

site. Also, check the current BIOS revision and make sure it is newer than

your BIOS before downloading. Select your motherboard model and down-

load the BIOS file to your computer. Unzip the BIOS update file and you will

find the readme.txt (flash instructions), the flash.bat (BIOS flash utility) and
