Intel PR440FX Motherboard does not boot

Check the configuration jumper block (J12B1) to ensure that all jumpers are set correctly for your configuration. Illustrations in some versions of the Quick Start Guide included with the boxed Intel PR440FX Motherboard do not show jumpers on segments A-B-C-D of jumper block J12B1. The jumpers must be installed for your configuration, as they are required for normal system operation.
Intel PR440FX Motherboards that have BIOS versions 1.00.02.DI0 or earlier cannot be reliably operated with sB1 stepping Pentium® Pro processors. The failure symptoms include a) no video accompanied by a blinking power LED, b) failure to recognize the second processor in a dual processor configuration, or c) random system crashes. If BIOS version 1.00.02.DI0 is installed, you may be able to upgrade to the latest BIOS version; this must be done with a single processor installed. If the system has two processors installed, remove the second processor before attempting the upgrade. If the BIOS upgrade procedure fails, or if BIOS version 1.00.01.DI0 is installed, replace the sB1 stepping processor with an sA1 stepping processor and then upgrade to the latest BIOS version. Once the BIOS upgrade is complete you may reinstall the sB1 stepping processor(s).
