Please note that this technology is only supported on specific CPUs. If your CPU does not support VT you will not find this switch in the BIOS Setup in the Advanced Menu below the Core Multi-Processing enable / disable item. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BIOS Version V11.01.05 12/17/2007 Component Versions: - BIOS Build Date: 12/17/2007 - ACPI: 1 - Video BIOS: 1358 - PXE: 2.1 Build 084 - FlashLt: 1.6.0.6 Change History: - Mac-Address Layer 2 and Mac-Address Profinet will now be shown both in the BIOS setup under the menu item hardware options - after wake up from hibernate the port 80 display now shows 00 instead of 04 - fixed the problem that microhone recording does not work sporadically after a cold boot - implemented updated Intel settings for more stability with specific graphic cards in the PEG slot - implemented a loader in order to update the control parameter block where the settings for temperature alerts and fan settings are stored - fixed a Linux problem where init 0 did not switch off the system properly and caused a system reboot - implemented SPI flash support - fixed the bug that SATA controller mode "Compatible" did not work properly - added a bios setup menu item in the setup menu in order to make it possible to disable the floppy disk controller if no floppy is attached - fixed the bug that a cherry ML4400 keyboard did not work on a d-link usb hub and caused the system to hang in post 55 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BIOS Version V11.01.04P 11/16/2007 Component Versions: - BIOS Build Date: 11/16/2007 - ACPI: 1 - Video BIOS: 1358 - PXE: 2.1 Build 084 - FlashLt: 1.6.0.5 Change History: - Minor change for production purpose ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BIOS Version V11.01.04 08/24/2007 Component Versions: - BIOS Build Date: 08/24/2007 - ACPI: 1 - Video BIOS: 1358 - PXE: 2.1 Build 084 - FlashLt: 1.4.0.7 Change History: - MPI LED was set incorrect ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BIOS Version V11.01.03 08/09/2007 Component Versions: - BIOS Build Date: 08/09/2007 - ACPI: 1 - Video BIOS: 1358 - PXE: 2.1 Build 084 - FlashLt: 1.4.0.7 Change History: - F2 key which is used to enter BIOS setup does not work properly - if post errors enabled in bios setup the sytem did not halt if a keyboard was missing - implemented USB code update - the cpu speed was not reported correctly in the bios setup - the enable/disable master feature in bios setup did not work properly - incorrect graphics memory reporting under Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 - microphone recording did not work properly after a cold start - fixed problems with some PS/2 keyboards ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BIOS Version V11.01.01 04/18/2007 Component Versions: - BIOS Build Date: 04/18/2007 - ACPI: 1 - Video BIOS: 1358 - PXE: 2.1 Build 084 - FlashLt: 1.4.0.6 Change History: - initial Version for manufacturing
