BIOS Questions

How do I get into the BIOS setup?

Keep hitting the DELETE key during the system memory count.

Do you have a BIOS history file that includes the problem(s) fixed for each revision of the BIOS?

Yes, click here for the file.

How do I update or flash my BIOS?

Updated BIOS are available on our FTP site.

How do I clear the CMOS? How do I clear the BIOS password?

Power off your system, move JBAT1 (see system board diagram) to 2-3 and leave it there for 2 or 3 seconds.

Move JBAT1 back to 1-2 and power up your system.

I have flashed my BIOS, but now I get no video!

Try clearing your CMOS (see above).

Make sure you've flashed the BIOS using the correct BIOS for your system board; flashing the wrong BIOS will render the board inoperable.

Hardware Questions

I've just changed my processor and now I get no video when I turn on the system.

You need to set the CPU speed back to its default setting first.

You can do this by clearing the CMOS as follows:

Power off your system, move JBAT1 (see system board diagram) to 2-3 and leave it there for 2 or 3 seconds.

Move JBAT1 back to 1-2 and power up your system.

Then go into the BIOS setup and set it for the correct CPU speed.

How do I install the AMR soft modem?

Go into the BIOS and select the Peripheral Setup menu.

Make sure the Onboard AC'97 modem option is set to enabled.

Then follow the AMR manufacturer's instructions to install the driver.

How do I disable the onboard video?

Go into the BIOS and select Advanced Chipset Features.

Set On-Chip Video to disabled.

If you are adding a PCI video card, then go into Integrated Peripherals.

Set Init Display First to PCI slot.

How do I disable the onboard audio?

Set JMDM2 to 1-2. Refer to the system board diagram for the location of JMDM2.

How do I disable the onboard network adapter?

Set JLAN1 to 2-3. Refer to the system board diagram for the location of JLAN1.

How do I enable the UltraDMA/66 IDE support?

You need an IDE HDD that is UltraDMA/66 compliant.

In addition, make sure the IDE cable (40 pin, 80 conduct) you're using is also UltraDMA/66 compliant.

My HDD is not UltraDMA/66, can I still use it?

Yes, the onboard IDE controller is downwardly compatible with PIO, DMA, or UltraDMA/33 HDDs.

How come it seems like I'm missing 1MB of memory during the memory count screen?

The Calypso always allocate 1MB of system memory for the onboard video adapter.

Can I upgrade or downgrade the onboard 4MB display cache memory?

No, the Calypso's display cache is fixed at 4MB.

I've turned the system on, but I'm getting no power (i.e., power supply fan does not spin).

Make sure the cable from the case's power switch is connected properly to the board's power on jumper; refer to the motherboard manual.

Try reseating the ATX power connector to the motherboard.

Disconnect all the power connectors to your HDD, FDD, CD-ROM, etc. then try powering the system up.

Try replacing the ATX power supply.

I have two USB ports in the back, how do I enable them?

Windows NT 4.0 currently do not support USB.

Windows 98 or Windows 2000 comes with native USB drivers.

Windows 95 (version 950B/950C only!) can enable the USB ports by getting the Microsoft USB driver and Intel USB INF update.

Can I use just one DIMM?

Yes, the system board will work with just one DIMM present.

What is the system's maximum memory capacity?

It is 512MB using two 256MB DIMMs.

What kind of DIMMs should I use?

The system only accepts PC100, unbuffered, 3.3V SDRAM DIMM ONLY!

Can I use PC133 SDRAM DIMM?

Yes, but the system will still only run at 100MHz for the memory bus.

Operating System Specific Questions

I have an Unknown Device in Device Manager under Windows 9x.

You need to run the Intel 810E INF Update 590K.

I have a PCI Card device showing up in Device Manager under Windows 9x.

To correct this, go into the BIOS setting / Integrated Peripherals and disable the AC97 Modem setting.

Do you have a troubleshooting guide for Windows 98/98SE?

Yes, we do; please see PREMIO Windows 98/98SE Troubleshooting Guide.

Do you have a troubleshooting guide for Windows 2000?

Yes, we do; please see PREMIO Windows 2000 Troubleshooting Guide.

Do you have a troubleshooting guide for Windows NT 4.0?

Yes, we do; please see PREMIO Windows NT 4.0 Troubleshooting Guide.

I am using Windows NT 4.0 and only have 32MB of memory. I can't install the video driver.

Due to the shared system/video memory design of the Intel 810E chipset, NT 4.0 requires more than 32MB of RAM before you can install the video driver; otherwise, you can only use 640x480x16 colors (standard VGA).

Processor Settings
There are no physical jumpers or DIP switches to set for the processor speed; it is set in the BIOS. To get into the BIOS, keep hitting the DELETE key during the memory count screen. Then go into the Frequency/Voltage Control setup. Two options control the actual speed of the CPU: CPU Host/SDRAM Clock and CPU Clock Ratio.

In most cases, you can set the CPU Host/SDRAM Clock to DEFAULT and the CPU Clock Ratio to AUTO. The BIOS will autodetect the processor speed and set it accordingly.

If you are setting it manually, then you can follow the table below. Always make sure the SDRAM Clock is set to 100MHz, regardless of which CPU you are using. This is because the Intel 810E chipset only supports PC100 SDRAM.

If you accidentally set the CPU speed too high, or are changing CPU, then you may get no video during power on. If this happens, then you need to clear the CMOS. This will set the CPU speed back to the lowest setting. Then you can go into the BIOS and set the CPU Host/SDRAM Clock and CPU Clock Ratio accordingly.

Intel Celeron/366 66/100MHz 5.5x
