11. Question What are the various types of memory that the S2QR6 S2QE6 motherboard can support Answer The S2QR6 S2QE6 requires the use of an MEC Memory Expan sion Card The MEC has 16 DIMM slots that support 168 pin unbuffered 3 3V SDRAM and ECC Error Correcting Code memory Check the Memory ECC Mode in BIOS to enable the use of ECC Modules of 128MB 256MB 512MB and 1 GB can be installed in the MEC meaning that you can populate it with up to a full 16 GB of SDRAM Note that while both PC133 and PC100 memory are supported they will offer the same performance since the chipset has a 100 MHz memory bus Modules must be installed in groups of four four slots at a time and in specific slots because interleaved memory technology is used See Chapter 2 Section 4 for details on prop erly populating the MEC SUPER S2QR6 S2QE6 User s Manual Question How do update my BIOS Answer It is recommended that you do not upgrade your BIOS if you are experiencing no problems with your system Updated BIOS files are located on our web site at http www supermicro com Please check our BIOS warning message and the info on how to update your BIOS on our web site Also check the current BIOS revision and make sure it is newer than your BIOS before downloading Select your motherboard model and down load the BIOS file to your computer Unzip the BIOS update file and you will find the readme txt flash instructions the fwhflash com BIOS flas
