Question: Why do I get an error message “IASTOR.SYS read error” when
installing Windows and "press F6 to install Intel RAID driver" on my X8SIL-F
or X8SIE-F motherboard?
Answer: To solve this issue, disable the IPMI jumper. Another solution is to
use a USB oppy drive instead of the onboard oppy drive. For the IPMI jumper
location, please check Chapter 1.

Answer: This is maybe because C State Technology is enabled in the BIOS.
Please go to the BIOS (Advanced -> Processor & Clock options -> Intel ® C-
STATE tech), and select “disable”.
Question: What is the heat sink part number for my X8SIL/X8SIL-F, X8SIE/
X8SIE-F/X8SIE-LN4 or X8SI6-F motherboard?
Answer: For the 1U passive heat sink, ask for SNK-P0046P (back plate is
included), for the 2U active heat sink, SNK-P0046A4.
Question: Does the PCI-E slots on the X8SIL/X8SIL-F, X8SIE/X8SIE-F/X8SIE-
LN4 or X8SI6-F motherboard support graphic cards?
Answer: Yes they do, but not Slot 6 and Slot 7 on the X8SIL motherboard.
This is due to Intel chipset limitations.
Question: Why can't I recover the BIOS even when I’ve followed the instruc-
tions in the user’s manual for X8SIL-F or X8SIE-F?
Answer: Please disable the IPMI jumper and try it again. For jumper the loca-
tion, please check Chapter 1.
