Problem/Issue: The Micro Computer Systems (MCS) EISA Configuration Utility currently delivered with all PowerFrame systems is incompatible with a motherboard BIOS of version 12 or earlier. The MCS ECU was released with version 13 of the motherboard BIOS. Using the MCS ECU with these early versions of the BIOS causes the system to hang during POST, immediately after configuring the system.

Solution: If you are encountering this problem, return to using the Phoenix Technologies, Ltd. EISA Configuration Utility (PTLECU).
