Frequently Asked Questions: Advanced/ML

• What Pentium processors are supported on the Advanced/ML?
  The Advanced/ML supports Pentium processor at 75, 90, 100, 120, 133, 150, 166 and 200 MHz. Changing the processor requires changes in several jumper settings.
  

• What upgrade components can be installed on the Advanced/ML?
  The Advanced/ML will accept processor upgrades, various combinations of system memory, and the battery/real time clock can be replaced.
  

• How do I upgrade to the latest BIOS?
  BIOS upgrade files for standard Intel products are available via FTP from ftp.intel.com or may be downloaded from the Intel BBS. The BIOS identifier for the Advanced/ML motherboard is DB0. Also see general instructions for BIOS upgrades.
  

• How should the switches and jumpers be set on my motherboard?
  On-board switches and jumpers control the configuration options and other features of the motherboard. Check the jumpers document for the Advanced/ML motherboard.
  

• Why doesn't my CD-ROM work with Windows 95?
  There are two known issues involving CD-ROM drives:
  • The retail version of Microsoft Windows* 95 may not recognize the Intel 82371SB PIIX3 IDE controller used on Intel motherboards, causing the BIOS to disable the secondary IDE channel. This can result in IDE devices (such as CD-ROM drives) not being detected or disappearing after the system is rebooted. A utility is available to update the MSHDC.INF file and resolve the issue.
  • Windows 95 also may fail to recognize a CD-ROM drive that does not comply with the ATAPI specification. A technical advisory covers this issue for Intel motherboards using the 82371SB PIIX3 IDE controller.
