To use ATA-66/100 features the following items are required: • An ATA-66/100 peripheral device • An ATA-66/100 compatible cable • ATA-66/100 operating system device drivers ✏ NOTE ATA-66/100-compatible cables are backward-compatible with drives using slower IDE transfer protocols. If an ATA-66/100 disk drive and a disk drive using any other IDE transfer protocol are attached to the same cable, the maximum transfer rate between the drives is reduced to that of the slowest device. BIOS Updates The BIOS can be updated with the Intel® Flash Memory Update Utility. This utility is available on the Intel World Wide Web site. The Intel® Flash Memory Update Utility requires creation of a boot diskette and manual rebooting of the system. With this utility, the BIOS can be updated from a file on a 1.44 MB diskette (from a legacy diskette drive or an LS-120 diskette drive) or from a CD-ROM disk. This utility support the following BIOS maintenance functions: • Verifies that the updated BIOS matches the target system to prevent accidentally installing an incompatible BIOS. • Updates both the BIOS boot block and the main BIOS. This process is fault tolerant to prevent boot block corruption. • Updates the BIOS boot block separately. • Changes the language section of the BIOS. • Updates replaceable BIOS modules, such as the video BIOS module. • Inserts a custom splash screen. ✏ NOTE Review the instructions distributed with the upgrade utility before attempting a BIOS update. Language Support The BIOS Setup program and help messages are supported in two languages: US English and Spanish. Additional languages may be flashed in if desired (German, Italian, and French available). The default language of US English is used unless another language is selected in the BIOS Setup program. 34 Intel Server Board S875WP1-E Product Guide
