prompt, enter the command "sm2flash." This will start the flash utility and give
you an opportunity to save your current BIOS image. Flash the boot block and
enter the name of the update BIOS image file. NOTE: It is important to save your
current BIOS and rename it "super.rom" in case you need to recover from a failed
BIOS update. Select flash boot block, then enter the update BIOS image. Select
"Y" to start the BIOS flash procedure and do not disturb your system until the
flash utility notifies you that the procedure is complete. After updating your
BIOS, clear CMOS and then load the Optimal Values into BIOS.
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 the flashing procedure failed. To remedy this, first clear the 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 procedure. Turn your
system off and place the floppy disk with the saved BIOS image file (see above
FAQ) in drive A. Depress and hold "CTRL" and "Home" at the same time, then
turn on the power keeping these keys depressed until your floppy drive starts
reading. Your screen will remain blank until the BIOS program is done. If the
system reboots correctly, the recovery was successful.
Question: I have memory problems. What is the correct memory to use
and which BIOS setting should I choose?
Answer: The correct memory to use for the SUPER S2DG2/S2DGU/S2DGE/
S2DGR is 168-pin DIMMs of 3.3v non-buffered SPD (Serial Present Detection)
SDRAM and SDRAM. SPD SDRAM is preferable but not essential. IMPOR-
TANT: Please do not mix memory types; the results are unpredictable. If your
memory count is exactly half of the correct value, go to the Chipset Setup in
BIOS and set "SDRAM AUTOSIZING SUPPORT" to Enabled . Switch between
the available options until one setting correctly displays your memory.
Question: Which Operating Systems (OS) supports AGP?
Answer: At present, Windows 98 and Windows NT 5.0 are the only OS that have
built-in support for AGP. Some AGP video adapters can run under Windows 95
OSR2.1 with special drivers. Please contact your graphics adapter vendor for
more details.
