Chapter 3: Troubleshooting

3-3 Frequently Asked Questions

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

board can support?

Answer:

 The motherboard has six DIMM slots that support 184-pin, regis-

tered ECC DDR-266 or DDR-200 SDRAM DIMM modules.  If using 533 MHz

processors, you must use DDR-266 memory (DDR-200 is not supported at a

533 MHz front side bus speed).  It is strongly recommended that you do not

mix memory modules of different speeds and sizes.  Unbuffered SDRAM,

non-ECC memory and PC100/133 SDRAM modules are not supported.

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 (http://service.advantech.com.tw/eservice).  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

download the BIOS file to your computer.  Unzip the BIOS update file and

you will find the readme.txt (flash instructions), the phlash.bat (BIOS flash

utility), the platform.bin (platform file) and the BIOS image (xxxxxx.rom) files.

Copy these files onto a bootable floppy and reboot your system.  It is not

necessary to set BIOS boot block protection jumpers on the motherboard.

Flash the boot block and enter the name of the update BIOS image file.

Question: Why can't I turn off the power using the momentary

power on/off switch?

Answer:

 The instant power off function is controlled in BIOS by the Power

Button Mode setting.  When the On/Off feature is enabled, the motherboard

will have instant off capabilities as long as the BIOS has control of the

system.  When the Standby or Suspend feature is enabled or when the

BIOS is not in control such as during memory count (the first screen that

appears when the system is turned on), the momentary on/off switch must

be held for more than four seconds to shut down the system.  This feature

is required to implement the ACPI features on the motherboard.
