Message BIOS update

The System BIOS provides optimum support for the processor you have chosen. If the message
BIOS update for installed CPU failed
appears the microcode required for the processor inserted must still be loaded. Further information
on this is available in the "BIOS Setup" manual on the "Drivers & Utilities" CD provided.

The screen stays blank

If your screen stays blank this may have the following cause:
The wrong RAM memory module has been inserted
Ê
See the chapter "Main Memory" for information which memory modules can be used.
Two processors with different FSB clock frequencies have been inserted
The FSB Mismatch LED is bright.
Ê
Ensure that both processors operate at the same FSB clock frequency.
ACPI S3 (Save-to-RAM) and/or ACPI S4 (Save-to-Disk) doesn't work
This system board is fully compliant for ACPI S3 and S4. Therefore it is PC98 certified by Microsoft.
If you have any problems with ACPI please ensure that all of your components are supporting ACPI
S3 and S4.
Operating System
Hardware and drivers of controllers (e. g. VGA, audio, LAN, SCSI controllers).
The system board D1160 supports Save-to-RAM. Therefore the D1160 is certified by Intel
!
and Microsoft. This support must be also guaranteed by the operating system, the
extension boards and the power supply. For the time neither Windows 98 1st edition nor
Windows NT4.0 support this function reliably. Windows 98 SE and Windows 2000 will
support ACPI S3. Unfortunately only a few extension boards work with functional Save-to-
RAM compliant drivers (refer to http://developer.intel.com/technology/iapc/involve.htm ).
