Chapter 3: Troubleshooting

Question: Why can't I format a floppy disk in Windows or why does it take too long to format a floppy disk on the X8SIA/X8SIA-F motherboard?

Answer: This is maybe because C State Technology is enabled in the BIOS. Please go to the BIOS (Advanced -> Processor & Clock options -> Intel ® C- STATE tech), and select “disable”.

Question: What is the heat sink part number for my X8SIA/X8SIA-F moth- erboard?

Answer: For the 1U passive heat sink, ask for SNK-P0046P (back plate is included), for the 2U active heat sink, SNK-P0046A4.

Question: Why can't I recover the BIOS even when I’ve followed the instruc- tions in the user’s manual for X8SIA-F?

Answer: Please disable the IPMI jumper and try it again. For jumper the loca- tion, please check Chapter 1.
