EtherExpress

Pro/100B Fails to Initialize With Windows* 95

P

ROBLEM

:

The system BIOS allocates 48 KB of memory at location C000H:0 rather than 44 KB as

expected.

I

MPLICATION

:

Since the EtherExpress

Pro/100B attempts to map memory starting at location CB00H:0 by

default, this results in a resource conflict with the system BIOS. Therefore, Windows* 95 will be unable to
initialize the EtherExpress Pro/100B and an exclamation mark will be displayed in Device Manager for this
device.

W

ORKAROUND

:

Manually move the EtherExpress Pro/100B memory range to D000 or higher in Windows 95

Device Manager.

S

TATUS

:

This erratum was fixed in BIOS revision 4A3NT0X0.86A.0062.P06.

8.

Potential Battery Drain if No AC Power Applied

P

ROBLEM

:

A potential battery drain condition caused by the AC power loss recovery circuit can cause the

battery to source approximately 500

µ

A current instead of the typical 3

µ

A drawn when the system is powered

off. This drain condition can occur if AC power is removed from the power supply and the front panel on/off
switch is depressed.

I

MPLICATION

:

The excessive battery drain state can result in a shortened battery life. The battery will drain

completely over a period of 3 to 4 weeks if left in this state. Reapplying AC power eliminates the excessive
battery drain condition. A battery that has been completely drained will cause a CMOS checksum error to be
displayed the next time that the system is powered on.
