Problem : After installing an Oxygen 202 or Oxygen 402 card, there are
no VGA graphics or the system hangs on boot-up.
Solution : Enter CMOS Setup at boot-up and disable ‘ VGA Palette
Snoop’, if available. To do this, you must reinstall your old graphics
card, and during system boot, enter CMOS Setup. (The command to
enter setup is usually displayed at system start-up.) Consult your
system documentation for changing CMOS settings, then disable ‘
VGA
Palette Snoop’, if present. Choose Exit and Save CMOS settings.
Alternatively, you may need to update your system to the newest
version of your system BIOS. (Oxygen 202 and Oxygen 402 cards
require a system BIOS that is compatible with a VGA display device
that is behind a PCI-to-PCI bridge.) Consult your hardware system
documentation for information on updating your system BIOS to a
current version. (If your system is equipped with a Flash BIOS,
software updates may be available on the World Wide Web. Check
your BIOS manufacturer’s web site for an update.)
Problem : After installing an Oxygen 202 or Oxygen 402 card, the
system hangs, pauses, or crashes to a Windows “blue screen” during
operation.
Solution : Enter CMOS Setup at boot-up and disable ‘ PCI Bursting’ if
available. To do this, during system boot, enter CMOS Setup. (The
command to enter setup is usually displayed at system start-up.)
Consult your system documentation for changing CMOS settings and
disable ‘
PCI Bursting’, if present. Choose Exit and Save CMOS settings.
Alternatively, you may need to update your system to the newest
version of your system BIOS. Consult your hardware system
documentation for information on updating your system BIOS to a
current version.
On systems with more than three (3) PCI slots, it may be necessary to
move your Oxygen card to the opposite set of three slots. More than
three PCI slots implies that your system is bridging a second bus and
the system may not support every hierarchy of these bridges. Thus, the
Oxygen 202 or Oxygen 402 card must be moved to the proper set of PCI
slots.
