Audio drivers and utilities are available from Intel’s World Wide Web site:
http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop
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 is stored in the Firmware Hub. The
BIOS can be updated by following the instructions in Chapter 3 on page 43.
PCI Auto Configuration
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.
15
Intel Desktop Boards D850MD and D850MV Product Guide
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.

Power Management Features
Power management is implemented at several levels, including:
• Software support:
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)
Advanced Power Management (APM)
• Hardware support:
Instantly Available technology
Resume on Ring
Wake from USB
Wake from PS/2 keyboard
PCI card wakeup support
If the board is used with an ACPI-aware operating system, the BIOS can provide ACPI support.
Otherwise, it defaults to APM support.
Instantly Available Technology
CAUTION
For Instantly Available technology, the 5 V standby line for the power supply must be capable of
providing adequate +5 V standby current. Failure to provide adequate standby current when
using this feature can damage the power supply and/or affect ACPI S3 sleep state functionality.
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.
Instantly Available 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 on page 19, 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
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 Table 4 on page 20 and follow the steps outlined below:
1. Note the total D850MD or D850MV 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 (nonwake-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.

• One wake-enabled device @ 500 mA
• USB hub @ 100 mA
• Three USB non-wake-enabled devices @ 2.5 mA each
The USB ports are limited to a combined total of 700 mA.
Resume on Ring
The operation of Resume on Ring can be summarized as follows:
• Resumes operation from either the APM sleep mode or the ACPI S1 state
• Requires only one call to access the computer
• Detects incoming calls similarly for external and internal modems
• Requires modem interrupt be unmasked for correct operation
