Chapter 3: Troubleshooting
Losing the System’s Setup Configuration
1. Check the setting of jumper JBT1. Ensure that you are using a high
quality power supply. A poor quality power supply may cause the
system to lose the CMOS setup information. Refer to Chapter 1 of this
manual for details.
2. If the above step does not fix the Setup Configuration problem,
contact your vendor for repairs.
3-2 Technical Support Procedures
1. Please go through the ‘Troubleshooting Procedures’ and 'Frequently
Asked Question' (FAQ) sections in this chapter of the manual or check
our web site FAQs (http://www.supermicro.com) before contacting
Technical Support.
2. Take note that as a motherboard manufacturer, Super Micro does not
sell directly to end-users, so it is best to check with your distributor or
reseller for troubleshooting services. They should know of any pos-
sible problem(s) with the specific system configuration that was sold
to you.
3. BIOS upgrades can be downloaded from our web site at
http://www.supermicro.com.
Note: Not all BIOS can be flashed depending on the modifications
to the boot block code.
4. If you still cannot resolve the problem, include the following information
when you e-mail Super Micro for technical support:
•BIOS release date/version
•System board serial number
•Product model name
•Invoice number and date
•System configuration
Due to the volume of e-mail we recieve and the time it takes to dupli-
cate problems, a response to your question may not be immediately
