NEW FEATURES INCLUDED IN THIS RELEASE ************************************************************ Revision: Version 2.30 Production Release Build 021a Information: 1. Updated documentation to include the Intel(R) 820E Chipset. Revision: Version 2.30 Production Release Build 021 Information: 1. Windows* Digital Signature files are included with this release. ************************************************************ * 3B. Digital Signature Files Included with This Release ************************************************************ Below is a list of the Windows Digital Signature files that are included in this release. Revision: Version 2.30 Production Release Build 021a Information: For systems running Window* 98 and Windows* 98 Second Edition: 440MXCOR.CAT 440MXIDE.CAT 440MXUSB.CAT 810.CAT 820.CAT 820B.CAT 840.CAT ICHx.CAT ICHxIDE.CAT ICHxSMB.CAT ICHxUSB.CAT P64H.CAT P64HRES.CAT IFWH.CAT ICH2CORE.CAT ICH2IDE.CAT ICH2SMB.CAT ICH2USB.CAT For systems running Window* 2000: ICH2AUD.CAT ICH2CORE.CAT ICH2IDE.CAT ICH2SMB.CAT ICH2USB.CAT ************************************************************ * 3C. FIXES INCLUDED IN THIS RELEASE ************************************************************ Revision: Version 2.30 Production Release Build 021a Information: 1. No fixes are included with this release. Revision: Version 2.30 Production Release Build 021 Information: 1. Localization fixes are included with this release. ************************************************************ * 3D. SOFTWARE SIGHTINGS AND/OR ERRATA FOR THIS RELEASE ************************************************************ Revision: Version 2.30 Production Release Build 021a Information: 1. During setup, some localized versions of the software may display a welcome screen with incomplete text. This has seen when installing the German and Japanese versions of the software. 2. When installing this software on an ICH2-based platform running Windows Millennium operating system, an automatic reboot will occur immediately after Windows re-enumeration has completed for the updated chipset devices. This behavior is normal and necessary for Windows Millennium to correctly update the IDE channels. 3. This software will install the ICHxSMB.INF file on systems running Windows 98 Second Edition, even though the SMBus device is natively supported by the OS. This is done to allow the easy update of any future SMBus driver. 4. During the Windows setup stage, the USB keyboard and mouse may not be accessible. This is because the legacy USB driver may be inactive when Windows enters the GUI mode. There is a small window of time when it may not be possible for the system to accept user input. Since the Chipset Softwre Installation Utility may cause prompts during the Windows setup stage, it should be ensured that the system BIOS support for legacy USB keyboard and mouse is enabled. 5. When the Chipset Software Installation Utility is run on a system with Windows 95 Original Release, the Device Manager may report a memory resource conflict. This conflict involves the resources allocated to PCI cards that are located behind a PCI bridge. The operating system incorrectly reports a memory conflict even though the memory resources in question are fully contained within the PCI bridge aperture. This appears to be a known issue with the Windows 95 operating system. The Chipset Software Installation Utility operation has no effect on this issue. 6. Older revisions of the Intel(R) LANDesk Software Package may cause a Device Manager warning when installed on a system after the Chipset Software Installation Utility has been executed on the system. 7. When running this software on Intel PIIX4-based chipset platforms, an extra reboot message might appear after the operating system has completed setup. ************************************************************ * 3E. TESTING INFORMATION ************************************************************ Revision: Version 2.30 Production Release Build 021a Information: This software build has been validated with systems containing the following Intel(R) chipsets: Intel(R) 810 Chipset Intel(R) 810E Chipset Intel(R) 820 Chipset Intel(R) 820E Chipset Intel(R) 840 Chipset ************************************************************ * 4.
