done. If the system reboots correctly, then the recovery was successful. The BIOS

Question: What's on the CD that came with my motherboard?
Answer: The supplied compact disc has quite a few drivers and programs that will
greatly enhance your system. We recommend that you review the CD and install the
applications you need. Applications on the CD include chipset drivers for Windows
and security and audio drivers.
Question: Why can't I turn off the power using the momentary power on/off
switch?
Answer: The instant power off function is controlled by the Power Button Mode
settings in the BIOS. When the On/Off feature is enabled, the motherboard will
have instant off capabilities as long as the BIOS has control of the system. When
the Standby or Suspend feature is enabled or when the BIOS is not in control such
as during memory count at the POST (Power On Self Test), the momentary on/off
switch must be held for more than four seconds to shut down the system. This
feature is required to implement the ACPI features on the motherboard.
Question: How do I utilize the six-channel sound?
Answer: The six-channel sound available on the P4SPA+/P4SPE can be enabled
with the audio driver software that was included in your motherboard package.
When activated, sound will be routed through the jacks under the Game Port as
follows: Line Out = front L&R speakers, Line In = rear L&R speakers, MIC = center
and subwoofer speakers. You must also enable the "AC97 Audio" setting in the
Advanced Chipset section of the BIOS setup.
Question: I see some of my PCI devices sharing IRQs, but the system seems
to be fi ne. Is this correct or not?
Answer: Some PCI Bus Mastering devices can share IRQs without performance
penalties. These devices are designed to work correctly while sharing IRQs. See
Table 3-1, below, for details on shared IRQs, if USB 2.0 drivers have not been
installed.
PCI 1 shares an IRQ with USB 2.0, AC 97, and the SM Bus Controller
PCI 2 shares an IRQ with CSA LAN, USB 1.1 (USB5,6)* and SATA
PCI 3 shares an IRQ with USB 1.1 (USB3,4)*
PCI 4 has a dedicated IRQ (does not share)
PCI 5 has a dedicated IRQ (does not share)
