2. BIOS 更新期日: 07/06/2004

1. AWDFLASH 8.23Dまたは、その後flash utilityを使ってNF7シリーズのBIOSの更新をしてください。 間違ったAWDFLASHバージョンでは、GUIDが削除され、IEEE1394ピアツーピア機能がフェイルします。AWDFLASH 8.23Kはこの BIOSパッケージを含みます。
2. 以下のような環境で、PS/2ホイールマウスが応答なしになってしまう問題を修正しました。 :
   1. PS/2ホイールマウスとUSBキーボードを使用。
   2. PS/2ホイールマウスは正常に動作しているか、1回目、3回目、5回目のWindowsの起動時に応答なしとなってしまう。ただし、2回目と4回目の起動時には問題はみられない。
   3. "PS/2 ホイールマウス + PS/2 キーボード" と "USB ホイールマウス + USB キーボード"では問題は見つからない。
3. AWDFLASH.EXE V8.32をサポート
4. BIOS更新日時:: 04/22/2004

1. AWDFLASH 8.23Dを使ってNF7シリーズのBIOSの更新をしてください。 不適格なAWDFLASHバージョンでは、GUIDは削除され、IEEE1394ピアツーピア機能がフェイルします。AWDFLASH 8.23KはこのBIOSパッケージを含みます。
2. SATA BIOSが v4.2.47 (NF7-SV2.0のみ)に更新されました。
3. USB 2.0互換性デバイス, "Integrated Peripherals / OnChip PCI Device / USB 2.0 Device Compatible / Disabled -> Enabled"を拡張しました。
4. CCMOSジャンパが2-3ピンにセットされている時のAuto-Shutdown functionを追加しました。2-3ピンに設定されている場合を考えて、正しいCCMOSジャンパは1-2ピンに設定します。CPU core voltageは温度が高くなりすぎたときにCPUをダメージから保護します。 
5. PS/2マウスがインストールされていないと、SATA HDDが起動しなくなる問題を解決しました。
6. NF7V2.0の"SATA ROM BIOS" functionを隠しました。

2. BIOS compile date: 10/09/2003.

1. Please use the AWDFLASH 8.23D or later flash utility to update NF7 series BIOS. With an incorrect AWDFLASH version, the GUID will be erased, leading to IEEE1394 peer-to-peer function failure. AWDFLASH 8.23K is included in this BIOS package.
2. Fixed an issue where the Duron 1.2GHz and 1.3GHz will not boot using BIOS version 19.
3. Added nVidia System Utility support. Please download the nvsuoem.ini file and install nVidia System Utility with this ini file (put the ini file in the directory where the setup file for nVidia System Utility is located). ftp://ftp.abit.com.tw/pub/download/bios/nf7-s_2.0/nvsuoem.ini
4. Enhanced compatibility with certain WD hard disks.
5. BIOS compile date: 10/09/2003.

1. Fixed the problem that system hangs up with POST code 01 while resuming from STR mode with user defined DRAM timings. With default SPD setting, no problem at all and doesn't need this update.
2. Fixed the problem that system hangs up at POST code FF with over clocking setting- change the multiplier factor from CPU default to 19.
3. Fixed the problem that Barton 2500+ CPU is occasionally detected as Barton 3200+. If 400 FSB CPU is installed, users need to select correct CPU type in SoftMenuIII by themselves.
4. BIOS Compile date: 7/24/2003.

1. Please use AWDFLASH 8.23D or later to update NF7 series BIOS. With incorrect AWDFLASH version, the GUID will be erased, and leads to IEEE1394 peer to peer function failed. AWDFLASH 8.23K is included in this BIOS package.
2. Fixed the exclamation point under Motherboard Resources of Device manager in Windows XP when use USB keyboard/mouse and set as "Support via BIOS".
3. Fixed the intermittent sirens when getting into Windows 2000 or XP with both "Shutdown when CPUFAN Fail" and "CPU Shutdown Temperature "enabled in PC Health Status.3. Calibrated readings of "CPU Over Temp. Protect" option in SoftMenu™ III.
4. Fixed the problem that SATA BIOS string is wrongfully connected with PCI add on card BIOS.
5. Calibrated the CPU temperature again.
6. Revised DDR400 DRAM timing according to NVidia's recommendation.
