H8SCM(-F) Serverboard User's Manual

Select your motherboard model on the web page and download the corresponding

BIOS ﬁ le to your computer. Unzip the BIOS update ﬁ le, in which you will ﬁ nd the

readme.txt (ﬂ ash instructions), the afudos.exe (BIOS ﬂ ash utility) and the BIOS

image (xxx.rom) ﬁ les. Copy these ﬁ les to a bootable ﬂ oppy disk, insert the disk

into drive A and reboot the system. At the DOS prompt after rebooting, enter the

command "ﬂ ash" (without quotation marks) then type in the BIOS ﬁ le that you want

to update with (xxxx.rom).

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 ﬁ rst 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.
