3-3 Frequently Asked Questions

1600 MHz up to 4GB in 2 DIMMs or DDR3 1333/1066/800 MHz up to 8GB in 4

Question: How do I update my BIOS?
Answer:
It is recommended that you
not
upgrade your BIOS if you are not expe-
riencing problems with your system. Updated BIOS fi les are located on our web
site at
(http://www.supermicro com/support/bios/
). Please check our BIOS warning
message and the information on how to update your BIOS on our web site. Also,
check the current BIOS revision and make sure it is newer than your current BIOS
before downloading. Select your mainboard model and download the BIOS fi le to
your computer. Unzip the BIOS update fi le and follow the readme.txt to fl ash the
BIOS.
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.
Question: After I have installed 4 pieces of 1GB Memory, why does the BIOS
only detect about 3.145GB of memory during POST?
Answer:
Because the chipset does not support memory remapping, and PCI-E
memory requires a great deal of memory, so there is a memory hole located around
the 4GB memory address.
