Disabling Firewire port on A8N-SLI SE

DoomUK · 05-07-07, 10:18 AM

The question is in the title. (Award) BIOS revision is 0502.

If anyone here has had experience with this mobo, how do I disable the 1394 port, if I can at all?

Also, I'll pop in another quick question: There is a WinXP tool, other than via device manager, that displays a list of hardware conflicts... can't for the life of me remember what it's called, however

Thanks in advance

I'm guessing the A8N-SLi SE is closely related to the A8N32-SLi Deluxe.

So for me to disable it, you go to the Advanced section and its one near the bottom (4th one to the bottom I think).

Yeah look for something like: "IEEE 1934" in your Bios. I don't think Asus the BIOS asus uses actually says firewire anywhere but I could be wrong...

Thanks.

As for the Firewire port settings, I'm unable to find it. Perhaps a BIOS update will do the trick...
