"Y" to start the BIOS flash procedure and do not disturb your system until the

flash utility displays that the procedure is complete. After updating your BIOS,

clear CMOS then load Optimal Values in the BIOS.

Question:

After flashing the BIOS my system does not have video. How

can I correct this?

Answer:

If the system does not have video after flashing your new BIOS, it

indicates that the flashing procedure failed. To remedy this, first clear CMOS per

the instructions in this manual and retry the BIOS flashing procedure. If you still

do not have video, please use the following BIOS recovery procedure. Turn your

system off and place the floppy disk with the saved BIOS image file (see above

FAQ) in drive A. Press and hold and at the same time, then

turn on the power with these keys pressed until your floppy drive starts reading.

Your screen will remain blank until the BIOS program is done. If the system

reboots correctly, then the recovery was successful.

Question:

I have memory problems. What is the correct memory to use

and which BIOS setting should I choose?

Answer:

The correct memory to use on the SUPER 370SBA/370SBM/370SLA/

370SLM is 168-pin DIMM 3.3v non-buffered SPD (Serial Present Detection)

SDRAM, SDRAM and EDO memory. SPD SDRAM is preferred but is not essen-

tial. IMPORTANT: Please do not mix memory types; the results are unpredict-

able. If your memory count is exactly half of the correct value, please go to the

BIOS in Chipset Setup and set "SDRAM AUTOSIZING SUPPORT" to

Enabled

.

Change between available options until one setting correctly displays your

memory.

Question:

Which Operating System (OS) supports AGP?

Answer:

At present, Windows 98 and Windows NT 5.0 are the only OS that have

built-in support for AGP. Some AGP video adapters can run Windows 95 OSR2.1

with special drivers. Please contact your graphics adapter vendor for more

details.

Question:

Do I need the CD that came with your motherboard?

Answer:

The supplied compact disc has quite a few drivers and programs that

will greatly enhance your system. We recommend that you review the CD and

install the applications you need. Applications included on the CD are PCI IDE

Bus Master drivers for Windows 95 and Windows NT, 440BX/LX chip set drivers
