Question: Why does Microsoft Windows XP (SP2) and Windows Vista show
less memory than what is physically installed?
Answer: Microsoft implemented a design change in Windows XP with Service
Pack 2 (SP2) and Windows Vista. This change is specific to the Physical Ad -
dress Extension (PAE) mode behavior which improves driver compatibility. For
more information, please read the following article at Microsoft’s Knowledge Base
website at: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/888137.
Question: How do I update my BIOS?
Answer: It is recommended that you do not upgrade your BIOS if you are not
experiencing any problems with your system. Updated BIOS files 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. Select your motherboard model and download the BIOS (.rom) file to your
computer. Also, check the current BIOS revision and make sure that it is newer
than your BIOS before downloading. You may choose the zip file or the .exe file.
If you choose the zipped BIOS file, please unzip the BIOS file onto a bootable
device or a USB pen/thumb drive. To flash the BIOS, run the batch file named
"flash.bat" with the new BIOS .rom file from your bootable device or USB pen/
thumb drive. Use the following format:
F:\> flash xxxxxxxx.rom <Enter>
Note: Be sure to insert a space immediately after "flash" and use only the file
named “flash.bat” to update the BIOS.
When completed, your system will automatically reboot. If you choose the .exe
file, please run the .exe file under Windows to create the BIOS flash floppy disk.
Insert the floppy disk into the system you wish to flash the BIOS. Then, boot the
system to the floppy disk. The BIOS utility will automatically flash the BIOS without
any prompts. Please note that this process may take a few minutes to complete.
Do not be concerned if the screen is paused for a few minutes.
Warning : Do not shut down or reset the system while updating the BIOS to
prevent possible system boot failure!
When the BIOS flashing screen is completed, the system will reboot and will
show “Press F1 or F2”. At this point, you will need to load the BIOS defaults.
Press <F1> to go to the BIOS setup screen, and press <F9> to load the default
settings. Next, press <F10> to save and exit. The system will then reboot.
