The BIOS Setup program provides configuration options for the I/O controller.

Real-Time Clock

The motherboard has a time-of-day clock and 100-year calendar that will rollover to 2000 at the turn of the century. A battery on the motherboard keeps the clock current when the computer is turned off.

NOTE

✏

The recommended method of accessing the date in systems with Intel motherboards is indirectly from the Real-Time Clock (RTC) via the BIOS. The BIOS on Intel motherboards and baseboards contains a century checking and maintenance feature that checks the least two significant digits of the year stored in the RTC during each BIOS request (INT 1Ah) to read the date and, if less than 80 (i.e., 1980 is the first year supported by the PC), updates the century byte to 20. This feature enables operating systems and applications using the BIOS date/time services to reliably manipulate the year as a four-digit value.

For more information on proper date access in systems with Intel motherboards please see:

http://support.intel.com/support/year2000/paper.htm

CA810 Motherboard Product Guide

USB Support

The motherboard has two USB ports. One of the USB ports can be routed to a front panel connector. You can connect two USB peripheral devices directly to the computer without an external hub. To attach more than two devices, connect an external hub to either of the built-in ports. The motherboard supports the standard universal host controller interface (UHCI) and takes advantage of standard software drivers written to be compatible with UHCI.

NOTE

✏

Computer systems that have an unshielded cable attached to a USB port might not meet FCC Class B requirements, even if no device or a low-speed USB device is attached to the cable. Use a shielded cable that meets the requirements for a high-speed USB device.

BIOS

The BIOS provides the power-on self-test (POST), the BIOS Setup program, the PCI and IDE auto-configuration utilities, and the video BIOS.

The BIOS can be upgraded by following the instructions in Section 3.

Intel® 82802AB Firmware Hub (FWH)

The BIOS is stored in the Intel 82802AB Firmware Hub. The firmware hub contains a nonvolatile

memory core based on Intel firmware hub incorporates logic features such as a hardware random number generator (RNG). These logic features enable protection for storing and updating platform information relating to security and manageability.

flash technology. In addition to storing the system BIOS, the

PCI Auto Configuration

If you install a PCI add-in board in your computer, the PCI auto-configuration utility in the BIOS automatically detects and configures the resources (IRQs, DMA channels, and I/O space) for that add-in board. You do not need to run the BIOS Setup program after you install a PCI add-in board.

IDE Auto Configuration

If you install an IDE device (such as, a hard drive) in your computer, the IDE auto-configuration utility in the BIOS automatically detects and configures the device for your computer. You do not need to run the BIOS Setup program after installing an IDE device.

Motherboard Features

Security Passwords

The BIOS includes security features that restrict whether the BIOS Setup program can be accessed and who can boot the computer. A supervisor password and a user password can be set for Setup and for booting the computer, with the following restrictions:

• The supervisor password gives unrestricted access to view and change all Setup options. This is supervisor mode.

• If only the supervisor password is set, pressing <Enter> at the password prompt of the Setup program gives the user restricted access to Setup.

• If both the supervisor and user passwords are set, you must enter either the supervisor password or the user password to access Setup.

• Setting a user password restricts who can boot the computer. The password prompt is displayed before the computer is booted. If only the supervisor password is set, the computer boots without asking for a password. If both passwords are set, you can enter either password to boot the computer.

Expansion Slots

The motherboard has four PCI expansion slots.

Power Management Features

Power management is implemented at several levels, including:

• Software support:  Advanced Power Management (APM)  Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)

• Hardware support:  Wake on LAN technology  Instantly Available technology  Resume on Ring

If the board is used with an ACPI-aware operating system, the BIOS can provide ACPI support. Otherwise, it defaults to APM support.
