If you install a PCI add-in card 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 card. You do not need to run the BIOS Setup program after you install a PCI add-in card.

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. You can override the autoconfiguration options by specifying manual configuration in the BIOS Setup program.
To use ATA-66/100 features, the following items are required:
• An ATA-66/100 peripheral device
• An ATA-66/100 compatible cable
• ATA-66/100 operating system device drivers
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 the
Setup and for booting the computer, with the following restrictions:
• The supervisor password gives unrestricted access to view and change all Setup options. If
only the supervisor password is set, pressing <Enter> at the password prompt of Setup 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. Setup options are then available for viewing
and changing depending on whether the supervisor or user password was entered.
• 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.
LAN Subsystem (Optional)
The optional Intel 82562ET (with the Intel 82801BA ICH2) provides a Fast PCI LAN subsystem
providing both 10Base-T and 100Base-TX connectivity. The Intel 82562ET provides the
following functions:

Intel Desktop Boards D845PT and D845BG Product Guide
Hardware
Power Connectors
The D845PT and D845BG boards have two power connectors. See Figure 22 on page 70 for the
location of the power connectors.
Fan Connectors
The D845PT and D845BG boards have one processor fan connector and two standard fan
connectors. See Figure 22 on page 70 for the location of the fan connectors.
Resume on Ring
The operation of Resume on Ring can be summarized as follows:
• Resumes operation from the ACPI S1 state
• Requires only one call to access the computer
• Detects incoming call similarly for external and internal modems
• Requires modem interrupt be unmasked for correct operation
Instantly Available PC Technology
CAUTION
For Instantly Available PC technology, the 5 V standby line for the power supply must be capable
of delivering adequate +5 V standby current. Failure to provide adequate standby current when
using this feature can damage the power supply and/or effect ACPI S3 sleep state functionality.
Instantly Available PC technology enables the board to enter the ACPI S3 (Suspend-to-RAM)
sleep state. While in the S3 sleep state, the computer will appear to be off. When signaled by a
wake-up device or event, the system quickly returns to its last known awake state.
The board’s standby power indicator, shown in Figure 3, is lit when there is standby power to the
system. This includes the memory modules and PCI bus connectors, even when the computer
appears to be off.
If the system has a dual-colored power LED on the front panel, the sleep state is indicated by the
LED turning amber.

Figure 3. Location of Standby Power Indicator
CAUTION
If the standby current necessary to support multiple wake events from the PCI and/or USB buses
exceeds power supply capacity, the desktop board may lose register settings stored in memory.
Power supplies used with this board must be able to provide enough standby current to support the
standard Instantly Available (ACPI S3 sleep state) configuration as outlined in Table 4. Values are
determined by specifications such as PCI 2.2. Actual measurements may vary.
To estimate the total amount of standby current required for a particular system configuration,
standby current requirements of all installed components must be added. Refer to the descriptions
in and follow the steps outlined below:
1. Note the total D845PT or D845BG board standby current requirement.
2. Add to that the total PS/2 port standby current requirement if a wake-enabled device is
connected.
3. Add, from the PCI 2.2 slots (wake-enabled) row, the total of the number of wake-enabled
devices installed (PCI and AGP) multiplied by the standby current requirement.
4. Add, from the PCI 2.2 slots (non-wake-enabled) row, the total of the number of non-wakeenabled devices installed (PCI and AGP) multiplied by the standby current requirement.
5. Add all additional wake-enabled devices’ and non-wake-enabled devices’ standby current
requirements as applicable.
6. Add all the required current totals from steps 1 through 5 to determine the total estimated
standby current power supply requirement.
