NOTE

If you are a system integrator, VAR or OEM, a POST diagnostics card is recommended. For I/O port 80h codes, refer to App. B.

Memory Errors

1.Make sure that the DIMM modules are properly and fully installed.

2.You should be using unbuffered DDR2 memory (see the next page). Also, it is recommended that you use the same memory speed for all DIMMs in the system. See Section 2-4 for memory limitations.

3.Check for bad DIMM modules or slots by swapping modules between slots and noting the results.

4.Check the power supply voltage 115V/230V switch.

Losing the System’s Setup Configuration

1.Make sure that you are using a high quality power supply. A poor quality power supply may cause the system to lose the CMOS setup information. Refer to Section 1-6 for details on recommended power supplies.

2.The battery on your motherboard may be old. Check to verify that it still sup- plies ~3VDC. If it does not, replace it with a new one.

3.If the above steps do not fix the Setup Configuration problem, contact your vendor for repairs.
