Chapter 3: Troubleshooting
Losing the System’s Setup Configuration
Make sure that you are using a high quality power supply. A poor quality 1.
power supply may cause the system to lose the CMOS setup information.
Refer to Section 1-6 for details on recommended power supplies.
The battery on your motherboard may be old. Check to verify that it still sup- 2.
plies ~3VDC. If it does not, replace it with a new one.
If the above steps do not fix the Setup Configuration problem, contact your 3.
vendor for repairs.
3-2 Technical Support Procedures
Before contacting Technical Support, please take the following steps. Also, note that
as a motherboard manufacturer, Super Micro does not sell directly to end-users, so
it is best to first check with your distributor or reseller for troubleshooting services.
They should know of any possible problem(s) with the specific system configuration
that was sold to you.
1. Please go through the ‘Troubleshooting Procedures’ and 'Frequently Asked Ques-
tion' (FAQ) sections in this chapter or see the FAQs on our web site ( http://www.
supermicro.com/support/faqs/ ) before contacting Technical Support.
2. BIOS upgrades can be downloaded from our web site at (http://www.supermicro
com/support/bios/ ).
Note: Not all BIOS can be flashed; it depends on the modifications to the boot
block code.
3. If you still cannot resolve the problem, include the following information when
contacting Super Micro for technical support:
Motherboard model and PCB revision number
•
BIOS release date/version (this can be seen on the initial display when your
