I hope you can help.

Robin,
I have the AW9D-MAX board and it would not POST until I went into the
BIOS and adjusted the correct timing for my RAM which is the same
Corsair that you have. Of course you may have a diiferent problem.
I don't know why you don't have a manual. I looked on abit's website
but I didn't see one listed there for the IP43 you could download and
abit is going out of business so there won't ever be one.
You should be able to plug your 3 pin fan into the 4 pin socket
without any problems. I've done it before. The 4th pin is for RPM
monitoring but the fan will still works fine.
I hope this helps and let us know if you get it going.

There's no way of getting into the BIOS to adjust the RAM settings as it
just doesn't POST at all and I cant see any jumpers or whatever for setting
these timings. It may mean ripping this PC apart to try the CPU and RAM in
it, although the RAM originally came from this one anyway.
Thanks for your assistance.

Faulty PSU ?

Hi,
I had a similar problem with an IP43 and 2x2GB of Kingston DDR2 PC6400
CL5 (KVR800D2N5K2/4G).
I put these in slots 1 and 3 as the IP43 manual suggests for dual-channel.
However the system would neither POST nor even beep.
The CPU fan flicked for a fraction of a second and then stopped.
After many trials and much worrying I found that the system worked with
just one stick in slot 1 and it is now running stably with the sticks in
slots 1 and 2. However it has never worked in slots 1 and 3.
I note that the Kingston site lists the PC5300 version of this RAM as
compatible with the IP43 but not the PC6400.
Maybe the board or the chipset has a problem with PC6400 RAM in
dual-channel.
I have also had problems with the on-board Gigabit Ethernet of the IP43:
With Kubuntu 8.10 it comes up with an all zero MAC address.
I have to patch the MAC address dynamically in an init script for it to
work.
I cannot get it to work at all under Windows 7 beta.
Does anybody know where the MAC address is stored and how to set it
permanently?
Cheers,
Chris

Under Windows 7 beta the MAC address also seems to come up as all zeros.
(Incidentally under Linux I have since seen it come up occasionally with
other silly but workable MAC addresses with 6 identical bytes e.g.
FC:FC:FC:FC:FC:FC.)
Even after forcing the MAC address, the initial Windows 7 beta driver
and the two updates I received (6.208.729.2008 and 6.210.1003.2008) all
give the error: "This device cannot start. (Code 10)".
In desperation I tried the 6.218.317.2009 Windows Vista driver from the
Realtek site:
http://www.realtek.com.tw/DOWNLOADS/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=13&PFid=5&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false
This driver works if the MAC address is forced in the device manager :)
Does anybody know whether the MAC address is stored in an NVRAM or an
EEPROM and how to set it permanently?

Chris
