ERRATA

1. System Memory May Be Reduced in Excess of the Amount of AGP

Aperture Size When 4GB of System Memory are Used

PROBLEM: The AGP aperture size setting in the system BIOS will consume, from available system memory,

2 times the amount applied in the AGP aperture setting when the maximum of 4 GB of system memory is

installed.

IMPLICATION: When 4GB of system memory are used, and system memory is allocated to AGP aperture

size in BIOS Setup, available system memory may be reduced by twice the amount allocated. A similar

impact to available system memory may occur from any allocation of system memory when 4 GB of system

memory is used. For example, increasing the video frame buffer in BIOS may also reduce available memory

in excess of the amount requested.

WORKAROUND: None.

STATUS: This erratum may be fixed in a future BIOS revision.

2. System May Intermittently Hang at POST Code 75 with SATA Hard

Disk Drives Attached

PROBLEM: An intermittent hang at POST code 75 may be observed when SATA Hard Disk Drives are used.

This intermittent hang is due to an erroneous circuit race condition in the system clock when spread spectrum

is enabled by BIOS.

IMPLICATION: The system hang is exhibited when the system clock’s internal circuitry is erroneously enabled

when spread spectrum is enabled on PLL1.

WORKAROUND: The user will need to reset the system, which allows the SATA Hard Disk Drives to be

reinitialized.

STATUS: This issue may be fixed in a future BIOS revision.
