Memory Errors

1. Make sure the DIMM modules are properly and fully installed.
2. Determine if different speeds of DIMMs have been installed and verify that
the BIOS setup is configured for the fastest speed of RAM used. It is
recommended to use the same RAM speed for all DIMMs in the system.
3. Make sure you are using PC 100 compliant, unbuffered SDRAM. EDO,
buffered and registered SDRAM are not supported.
4. Check for bad DIMM modules or slots by swapping a single DIMM module
between both DIMM slots and noting the results.

Losing the System's Setup Configuration

1. Check the setting of jumper JBT1. Ensure 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 page 1-18 for
details.
2. The battery on your motherboard may be old. Check to verify that it
still supplies ~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.
