Question: How do I update my BIOS?

Answer: It is recommended that you not upgrade your BIOS if you are not expe-

riencing problems with your system. Updated BIOS ﬁ les are located on our web

site at

(http://www.supermicro com/support/bios/). Please check our BIOS warning

message and the information on how to update your BIOS on our web site. Also,

check the current BIOS revision and make sure it is newer than your current BIOS

before downloading. Select your mainboard model and download the BIOS ﬁ le to

your computer. Unzip the BIOS update ﬁ le and follow the readme.txt to ﬂ ash the

BIOS.

Also, the SPI BIOS chip used in the motherboard cannot be removed. To repair or

replace a damaged BIOS chip, please send your motherboard back to our RAM

department.

Question: What's on the CD that came with my motherboard?

Answer: The supplied compact disc has quite a few drivers and programs that will

greatly enhance your system. We recommend that you review the CD and install the

applications you need. Applications on the CD include chipset drivers for Windows

and security and audio drivers.

Question: How do I utilize the onboard HD sound?

Answer: The onboard HD sound available on the C2SEA/C2SEE can be enabled

with the audio driver software that was included in your motherboard package. When

activated, sound will be routed through the jacks next to the LAN Port according

to the audio connection descriptions listed on Page 2-8. You must also set the HD

Audio setting to "Auto" in the Advanced Chipset section of the BIOS setup.

<Volume Control>. Under the Properties tab, scroll down the list of devices in the

menu and check the box beside "Microphone".

Question: After I have installed 4 pieces of 1GB Memory, why does the BIOS

only detect about 3.145 GB of memory during POST?

Answer: Because the chipset does not support memory remapping, and PCI-E

memory requires a great deal of memory, so there is a memory hole located around

the 4GB memory address.

Question: How do I connect the ATA100/66 cable to my IDE device(s)?

Answer: The 80-wire/40-pin high-density ATA100/66 IDE cable that came with your

system has two connectors to support two drives. This special cable must be used

to take advantage of the speed the ATA100/66 technology offers. Connect the blue

connector to the onboard IDE header and the other connector(s) to your hard
