Question: Why can't I turn off the power using the momentary power on/off switch?
Answer: The instant power off function is controlled in BIOS by the Power Button Mode
setting. When the On/Off feature is enabled, the motherboard will have instant off capabilities
as long as the BIOS has control of the system. When the Standby or Suspend feature is
enabled or when the BIOS is not in control such as during memory count (the first screen
that appears when the system is turned on), the momentary on/off switch must be held for
more than four seconds to shutdown the system. This feature is required to implement the
ACPI features on the motherboard.
Question: For the AMD EPYC platform, we found that the Windows Server 2012/2016
OS would not install properly. It however works fine with Linux OS, any suggestions?
Answer: This issue is due to Windows server OS' compatibility with the virtualization function,
we suggest to disable IOMMU (Input/Output Memory Management Unit) before installing the
Windows Server OS. After installing the OS and hot fix update is finished, then you could
enable the IOMMU in BIOS.
