'engineering release: not for production use

this message, related to some VGA bios or something, appears when i first boot my k7n2g-ilsr (no i dont have any add-on cards in it). i must say, it does not inspire much confidence in me to see this message on my brand new 150 dollar motherboard. anyone have any ideas about this? just an accidental oversight during manufacturing?

Fill out an online technical support form at:
http://www.msicomputer.com/msiforms/c_problem_desc_form3.asp.
Explain that you have a reference BIOS, and that you need to upgrade to the latest revision.  I did this for my 6200 that had the same problem; within one business day, MSI emailed me a new BIOS.  For those of you that have the MSI NX6200AX 128, you can download the BIOS they sent me from my website:
http://dclayton.com/shared/nvflash.zip
This file is a .ZIP archive that contains a few files, most notably, a program called nvflash.exe with the latest image file.  For non-Windows users, I presume you will have to create a boot floppy.  Since I have a Linux-based system, I'm going to have to do this I guess.  (Do not try this on any model of video other card - I don't know if the BIOS flash program will even let you.)
Since this file is 200k+, please don't slurp my bandwidth by downloading it repeatedly or posting the URL to slashdot, etc.  If I remove this file in the future, please msg me and I'll try to get it to you.  But, you should have no problems if you contact MSI in the manner I indicated above.
Good luck!

  • [NX6200AX-TD128] Firmware: engineering release not for production use

    Hi,
    i just got my MSI NX6200AX-TD128 (602-V011-010) card
    B0505000867
    and it shows this bootup firmware info:
    BIOS 5.44.A2.02.00 engineering release not for production use
    Why is MSI selling these cards with a firmware like this?
    Why there is no updated firmware for download?
    (searched here: http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/download/dld/spt_dld_detail.php?UID=679&kind=2 )
    Where can i download a retail fw?
    TIA
    TIA

    This is a user to user forum and MSI does not read or participate in these forums.
    You need to contact MSI directly to get answers about this BIOS...
    I see... thank you.

    But... why overclock a 6200 video card??? I really doubt that you get a better performance in games or 3D app's with this video card.
    Quote from: Richard on 07-August-05, 22:20:30
    Trying to overclock a 6200 is like trying to Supe up a Yugo. What is the point, there is nothing you could do to it, to make it play today's games.
    Take Care,
    Richard
    here are some articles about overclocking the 6200:

    too bad that i found these articles after i spent my money.

  • BIOS Update for nVidia GTX 550 Ti? I have a BIOS "not for production use"

    Hi,
    I bought a new computer about a month ago, and it all works well, but every now and then, the whole system freezes completely for 2-4 minutes, and then afterwards resumes where it was. This is extremely annoying, and it really could be anything, I don't have evidence that it's the video card, but I'm trying to get everything updated to the latest version.
    When my computer boots up, I see this message:
    GF116 P1050 SKU 0 VGA BIOS

    So, evidently this BIOS is wrong, and i'm trying to update it, but I can't find where to download an update.
    Could you please point me in the right direction?
    Thank you

    I noticed the same thing... BUT I made 2 mistakes:
    Failed to make a copy of this BIOS using GPU-Z
    Updated to 1.06 via MSI Update 5 (26110.rom)
    Then I read the posts on this subforum and realized my mistakes.
    I'm just in the initial stages of installing software on this machine, so I haven't noticed any problems.
    I saved the updated BIOS via GPU-Z and compared the hashes against the 1.06 BIOS offered by MSI on their page for this card (NV261MS.106) ==> they matched  MD5: 52ECDDEFAEA86E745C09FF8A43541078
    Afterburner 2.1.0 gives the following info:

    GUID                 : VEN_10DE&DEV_1244&SUBSYS_26101462&REV_A1&BUS_1&DEV_0&FN_0
    My question is how badly did I mess up and what should I do now?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    How do you remove this: <META NAME="ColdFusionMXEdition"
    CONTENT="ColdFusion DevNet Edition - Not for Production
    Use."> since it
    automatically generates in my code when i run the application
    and it

    Hi
    Just curious, I see the watermark "Preliminary, Draft, not for production use" on the following page :
    http://agriculture.tennessee.edu/facultyandstaff/forms/LeaveForm.pdf
    Is this generated when right-enabled is applied and the owner use evaluation version of Adobe Document Server? or because of other cause?
    Anybody knows?
    Thanks

    Yes, it's because of the use of an evaluation version of some software.. probably Reader Extensions.

  • Is SAP on Linux mature enough for productive use ?

    Hi
    I’m not quite sure if this is the correct forum for this question – But I’ll risk it anyway
    We are starting a SAP project from scratch – and my manager has asked if we could run the solution on Linux. I know that Linux is supported by SAP, but is the solution mature enough for productive use?  Do any off you have any experience with this ?

  • Is sql as a language free for production use ?

    is sql and pl/sql as a languages free for production use ?
    and if you wanna help me , tell me about programming languages in general ?
    thanks in advance

    semsem wrote:
    is sql and pl/sql as a languages free for production use ?The questions don't make sense. What is important is whether the database allows production use, not the language.
    First, SQL is a standard. Every database vendor implements their own, slightly different, SQL dialect. Whether SQL is free depends on what database you're referring to and how that database is licensed. There are tons of open source databases (i.e. MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc) that support a dialect of SQL and can be used in production at no cost. If you are talking about Oracle, it depends on the edition of the database and the terms of the license. If you have the express edition (Oracle XE), you can use that database's SQL engine in production at no cost.
    PL/SQL is Oracle's procedural extensions to SQL. As with SQL, though, what is important is how the database that implements the PL/SQL VM is licensed. That, in turn, depends on the edition of the database just like it does for SQL. If you have the express edition (Oracle XE), you can use that database's PL/SQL engine in production at no cost.
    and if you wanna help me , tell me about programming languages in general ?Here, it's even less clear what you're asking.
    Most languages are free to use. Many languages or deployment scenarios, however, require you to license something else in order to actually run code written in that language. You can, for example, write and use a .Net application free of charge. But since your application relies on the .Net libraries that come with Windows, you would need to license Windows on the machine you are running the application (or run a Linux box with Mono and hope that everything you need from the CLR has been ported). You can find free JVMs to run Java applications on most platforms. But if you want to run a Java stored procedure inside Oracle, you'd need to license Oracle. If you want to run a Java object on a JEE app server, you'll need a JEE app server (many of which require you to obtain a license for commercial deployments).

  • Where can I find the release notes for iTunes 9.0.3?

    Where can I find the release notes for iTunes 9.0.3?
    You would think they would be available from the download link location.

    I agree and find it odd, but then, there is only the most rudimentary and superficial 'notes' -
    iTunes 9 also includes many other improvements, such as HE-AAC encoding and playback, more flexibility with Smart Playlists rules, simpler organization of your media files inside an iTunes Media folder, and more.
    Nothing like "fixed bug with using..."

  • Open note for S_ALR_87008272 using program RKAZUTR1

    Hi Experts,
    Please provide open note for S_ALR_87008272 using program RKAZUTR1, to run S_ALR_87008272 in Quality and Production client.
    Thanks
    Neeraja

    Hi,
    The t.code S_ALR_87008272 is used to maintain overhead percentages.
    Once the percentages maintained in Development system, those percentages will come automatically via request number.
    For that purpose you have to run this  program RKAZUTR1  via se38 t.code with request number.

  • Web Service Developer Pack for production use?

    Hello,
    Can anyone tell me what the licensing is for use of the web services developer pack reference implementations? Can they be used in a production environment, or are they for development purposes only?
    Any information is appreciated.
    Holly

    The JWSDP can be used for production use. It is not just
    a reference implementation. The exception is the bundled
    UDDI registry which is just for testing development.

  • Recommendation of use for MaxDB for production use and Oracle comparison

    Hi all,
    We are about to propose to a customer of ours the use of SAPDB for production use. This would be a good way to reduce license costs.
    Previous use of this DB platform has shown that it is mature, but since I am not a basis or DBA, I can't really pinpoint if we miss a lot of functionality.
    Who could provide some info on the following:
    1 - Are there major functionalities that Oracle provides that MaxDB doesn't?
    2 - Customer reference (or your inputs) on success stories.
    Thanks in advance.
    Leonardo

    > Who could provide some info on the following:
    >
    > 1 - Are there major functionalities that Oracle provides that MaxDB doesn't?
    I would ask:"What functionalities do you expect from a database system?" - and then "Can MaxDB provide those functionalities?". It does not makes sense, IMHO, to compare "possible" things if you never need them.
    > 2 - Customer reference (or your inputs) on success stories.
    We run MaxDB (former ADABAS D, former SAPDB) for 12 years now on all our systems. Our main ERP 6.0 EHP4 has a size of 3 TB, we run on Linux serving about 900 users (700 concurrent), a BI with roughly 1 TB (with BWA), CRM with 600 GB, and tons of portals and smaller systems (SRM, SRM-MDM 7.1, GTS 7.2, SolMan,  PLM (cProjects), Content Servers and more).
    There are, as with every database, "performance problems" in special areas but generally our response times are below 500 ms on the main ERP.
    One drawback of the MaxDB is the fact, that it does not use UTF-8/CESU-8 to store the data (yet) so if you use only single byte codepages in a Unicode system, you will neverless consume the full 2-byte space per character.
    Basically I think that you can run roughly 98 % of the current systems on MaxDB without any impacts.

  • 3.5.4 Release Notes for 5428-2?

    I notice a new release has been posted, which I assume is just a rebuild to fix a few of the recent security vulnerabilities. Be nice to have some release notes to confirm that though...

    Can you tell me which release notes you are referring to on CCO, I see no new release notes for SN5428-2 posted for this year at: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/products/hw/ps4159/ps2160/prod_release_notes_list.html
    I do not believe the SN5428-2 was effected by the recent security holes.

  • C5 Release notes for Phone software update?

    I see the new "important" Phone software update available on the C5. Where can we see the release notes for this update? Thanks

    There might be a dozen or so different product codes for the same phone model - different operator models carry different firmware and has a unique product code.
    You will not get the update for your phone until the operator says yes to it. How long does it  take? It depends on the operator, but it might take from a few days to a few weeks. If you want to be sure when an update is available, sign up for the email notification.
