| Question: |
| How do I get into BIOS to change parameters ? What setting in BIOS should I select first for |
| smooth sailing ? |
| Answer: |
| For Award or AMI BIOS, press or keep hitting 'delete' key during boot-up. If you miss it, try again. |
| In BIOS, enable power-on or BIOS, safe, or optimum default first, before further twisting. |
| Question: |
| What should I do if some device fails to work in Windows 98/95, after upgrading the motherboard ? |
| Answer: |
| Remove this device driver and others with '!' and '?' icons on in ControlPanel-System-Device. |
| Re-boot the system. To reduce chance of IRQ conflicts, disable unused devices which may cause |
| potential conflicts, in BIOS. Auto detect hardwares in ConrolPanel. |
| Update newest device drivers, if possible. |
| Question: |
| What should I watch out when installing motherboard in the case, after testing boot-up successfully |
| outside the case ? |
| Answer: |
| Install minimum number of add-on cards first. After testing successfully, add one card a time to the |
| motherboard. Make sure there are at least 2 metal screws fastened to align the board properly. If |
| you mix non-PnP cards with PnP (plug and play), PCI |
| cards, in PnP operating system like Windows 9x, you may need to move PCI card to different slot, |
| to resolve conflict in some situation. |
