3-3 Frequently Asked Questions
Question: What are the differences between the various memo-
ries that the 440GX motherboard can support?
Answer: The 440GX integrates a main memory DRAM controller
that supports a 64-bit or 72-bit (64-bit memory data plus 8 ECC
bits) DRAM from 8 MB to 1 GB for SDRAM and from 8 MB to 2 GB
registered DIMMs. DRAM types supported are EDO, Synchronous
DRAM (SDRAM) or Registered DIM modules.
1. Mixing ECC and non-ECC will result in non-ECC operation.
EC/ECC is supported properly in the 440GX only if all the memory is
72 bits wide. A system with a mixture of 64 and 72-bit wide memory
will disable the ECC function.
2. Registered SDRAM and unbuffered SDRAM cannot be mixed.
3. Mixing PC/100 DIMMs and PC/66 DIMMs will result in an unex-
pected memory count or system errors.
4. The user should populate the DIMMs starting with the DIMM
socket located the furthest from the GX chip.
Question: How do I update my BIOS?
Answer: Update BIOS files are located on our web site at http://
www.supermicro.com. Please 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 com-
puter. Unzip the BIOS update file and you will find three files:
readme.txt (flash instructions), sm2flash.com (BIOS flash utility) and
the BIOS image file (xxxxxx.rom). Copy these files onto a bootable
floppy and reboot your system. There are no BIOS boot block pro-
tection jumpers on the motherboard. At the DOS prompt, enter the
command "sm2flash". This will start the flash utility and give you an
opportunity to save your current BIOS image. Flash the boot block
