Hard Drive Not Detected on Boot if User Defined

P :
If the drive type in BIOS Setup is set to USER, the hard drive will not be detected by the
ROBLEM
motherboard at boot.
I :
The hard drive will not be detected by the BIOS during the boot process and will not be

7. Intel EtherExpress
P :
The system BIOS allocates 48 KB of memory at location C000H:0 rather than 44 KB as
ROBLEM
expected.
I :
Since the EtherExpress

default, this results in a resource conflict with the system BIOS. Therefore, Windows* 95 will be unable to
initialize the EtherExpress Pro/100B and an exclamation mark will be displayed in Device Manager for this
device.

Potential Battery Drain if No AC Power Applied

P :
A potential battery drain condition caused by the AC power loss recovery circuit can cause the
ROBLEM
battery to source approximately 500 A current instead of the typical 3 A drawn when the system is powered
off. This drain condition can occur if AC power is removed from the power supply and the front panel on/off
switch is depressed.
I :
The excessive battery drain state can result in a shortened battery life. The battery will drain
MPLICATION
completely over a period of 3 to 4 weeks if left in this state. Reapplying AC power eliminates the excessive
battery drain condition. A battery that has been completely drained will cause a CMOS checksum error to be
displayed the next time that the system is powered on.
