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: Why can't I turn off the power using the momentary
power on/off switch?
Answer: The instant power off function is controlled in BIOS by the Power
Button Mode setting. When the On/Off feature is enabled, the motherboard
will have instant off capabilities as long as the BIOS has control of the
system. When the Standby or Suspend feature is enabled or when the
BIOS is not in control such as during memory count (the first screen that
appears when the system is turned on), the momentary on/off switch must
be held for more than four seconds to shut down the system. This feature
is required to implement the ACPI features on the motherboard.

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 technol-
ogy offers. Connect the blue connector to the onboard IDE header
and the other connector(s) to your hard drive(s). Consult the docu-
mentation that came with your disk drive for details on actual jumper loca-
tions and settings.
Question: After I have installed 4 pieces of 1GB Memory, why does
the BIOS only detect about 3.15 GB of memory during POST?
Answer: Because the chipset does not support memory remapping, so
there is a memory hole located around the 4GB memory address.
