FAQs
Q1: The memory reported in POST is different from the memory installed.
A1: The reported difference in memory may result from defective memory
modules or incorrect DIMM installation. Ensure the DIMMs are in good
condition and the DIMMs are installed correctly. Refer to the motherboard
user guide for details. If you install 4.0 GB memory and it reports 3.X GB, it is
normal.
Q2. The system cannot detect the floppy disk drive, but the floopy disk stays lit.
A2: The floopy disk cables are not properly installed. Ensure the red stripe on the
cable (pin1 end) should match pin1 on the floppy disk drive.
Q3: Fail to enter the operating system after the USB flash disk or external hard
disk drives.
A3: When the system detects USB flash disk or USB interface hard disks, it may
change the booting device priority. Remove the USB devices and restart the
system.
Q4: When installing Windows XP, it fails to locate the hard disk drives installed to
the RAID controller.
A4: Windows XP does not include the RAID controller driver so the hard disk
drives are not detected. Copy the RAID controller driver to a floppy disk and
when booting the system with the Windows XP disk, press <F6> to read the
driver from the floppy disk. Refer to the motherboard user guide for details.
