ERRATA
1. The IEEE-1394a Interface May Lose Link Connection
When Transferring Files From Some IEEE-1394a
DVD/CD-ROM Devices
PROBLEM: PCI frequency noise between GND and the IEEE-1394a analog ground (AGND), in
excess of 1V peak to peak, has been measured when transferring files from an IEEE-1394a
DVD/CD-ROM device and an IDE Hard Disk Drive. The presence of this noise causes an
IEEE-1394a link drop off with certain IEEE-1394a DVD/CD-ROM devices.
IMPLICATION: Users may experience the IEEE-1394a link drop when transferring files from
some IEEE-1394a DVD/CD-ROM devices. This failure has been observed with a very limited
number of IEEE-1394a DVD/CD-ROM devices. The failure is masked when the system is
configured with a minimum of two PCI cards. This failure is considered a low risk.
WORKAROUND: None.
STATUS: This erratum may be fixed in a future hardware revision.
2. Wake On LAN May Not Function After Loss and Restore
of AC Power
PROBLEM: If AC power is removed, Wake On LAN may not function until the LAN circuit is re-
initialized. The sequence of events is as follows:
• AC power removed (AC power cord disconnected, for example)
• AC power restored. +5V Standby voltage is re-applied to the board
• Wake On LAN may not be functional
• Switch power on
• Switch power off to put system back into Standby mode (S5 state)
• Wake On LAN functionality restored
IMPLICATION: Wake on LAN will not function if AC power is interrupted.
WORKAROUND: In the BIOS Setup program, set After Power Failure to “Power On” in the
Power Menu.
STATUS: This erratum may be fixed in a future BIOS revision.
