Fixes & Enhancements
- Fixed the issue where the system does not respond when resuming from Intel Fast Flash Standby (iFFS).
- Fixed the issue where the system automatically turns on after shutdown on Windows 8.1 operating system.
Important Information
- Once the BIOS is updated to version A06 or later, the Intel Smart Connect Technology (iSCT) is enabled.
- You must install the Intel Smart Connect Technology (iSCT) from the Dell support site to prevent display of the yellow exclamation mark in Device Manager.
- If your system has a traditional or Hybrid hard drive (HDD) configuration, the iSCT feature works only when the system is connected to the power adapter.
- If your system has an SSD configuration, the iSCT feature works when the system is connected and not connected to the power adapter.
