DK440LX SPECIFICATION UPDATE
14
9. System Will Not Boot with Network as First Boot Device
PROBLEM: The feature allowing the system to boot from the network is not implemented. After the attempt
to boot from a network device selected as the first boot device fails, the system BIOS does not attempt to
boot from any additional boot devices specified in the BIOS Setup program.
IMPLICATION: If Network boot is selected as the first boot device, the system will hang.
WORKAROUND: Remove Network boot from the boot sequence.
STATUS: This erratum was fixed in BIOS revision 4D4KL0X0.86A.0021.P10.
10. System BIOS Does Not Recognize Hard Drives Larger Than 8.4 GB
PROBLEM: The system BIOS does not include hard drive parameters to recognize drives larger than 8.4 GB.
IMPLICATION: An installed hard drive larger than 8.4 GB will not be available to the operating system.
WORKAROUND: None.
STATUS: This erratum was fixed in BIOS revision 4D4KL0X0.86A.0021.P10.
11. BIOS Setup Does Not Support Changing User Password or
Unattended Start in User Mode
PROBLEM: Although the BIOS specification calls for the user password to be changed and the unattended
start feature to be enabled or disabled in User Mode the current BIOS does not allow this.
IMPLICATION: The administrative password must be entered in order for the user to modify either of these
options.
WORKAROUND: None.
STATUS: This erratum will not be fixed.
12. BIOS Does Not Release IRQ if No Mouse is Present
PROBLEM: The BIOS does not release the default IRQ12 used by a PS/2* mouse even if no mouse is
detected in the system.
IMPLICATION: Some system resources may not be assigned an IRQ in a system with a large number of
peripherals.
WORKAROUND: None.
STATUS: This erratum will not be fixed.
