TB0227.fm — I8330 Release Notes
OVERVIEW / ENVIRONMENT
The ClearCube I8330 I/Port displays certain minor video and other hardware issues that do not affect
usability significantly. These are:
Video issues:
•
At start-up, the I8330 I/Port briefly displays multicolored vertical lines.
•
Users cannot change the refresh rate using the Windows
Display
control panel.
•
At 1280 x 1024 resolution, a one- to two-pixel vertical wrap-around has been observed on some
brands of LCD monitor
s
.
•
Monitors used with an I8330 I/Port appear to malfunction when used with another device.
Hardware issues:
•
USB keyboards and mice do not work with the I8330 I/Port.
•
The numeric keypad does not work in the I8330 device setup.
•
USB devices may not enumerate or re-enumerate correctly under all conditions.
•
On some versions of the ClearCube-branded PS/2 keyboard, multiple presses of the
Num Lock
key
may cause the
Caps Lock
LED to light up, even though
Caps Lock
is not actually activated.
•
The
Num Lock
LED may not accurately reflect the keyboard number pad functionality.
•
An I8330 I/Port flashed to a newer version of firmware can still load older firmware from a blade if it is
available.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The ClearCube I8330 I/Port displays certain minor issues that do not significantly affect usability.
Video issues:
•
At start-up, the I8330 I/Port briefly displays multicolored vertical lines.
This phenomenon is a normal part of the self-test function of circuitry inside the I/Port, and should be
expected.
Workaround:
None required.
•
Users cannot change the refresh rate using the Windows
Display
control panel.
After logging into a blade with the resolution set at 1024 x 768 or
800 x 600
, the Windows
Display
con-
trol panel erroneously shows that the refresh rate can be changed from the default rate. If a change is
attempted, it appears to be successful but the change is not actually applied.
Workaround:
Monitor refresh rate is controlled by I8330
setup
. To change the refresh rate, access th
e device setup,
restart the I8330, and relogin to the blade. The monitor will use the refresh rate specified by the
I8330, but the Windows
Display
control panel will not show the actual refresh rate.
