This special information is then stored in battery-backed RAM so that it retains the Setup information when the power is turned off. The Phoenix-Award BIOS™ installed in your computer system’s ROM (Read Only Memory) is a custom version of an industry standard BIOS.
945P-A7G/945PL-A7G PCI Bus Support This PHOENIX-AWARD BIOS also supports Version 3.0 of the Intel PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) local bus specification. DRAM Support DDR2 SDRAM (Double Data Rate Synchronous DRAM) are supported. Supported CPUs This PHOENIX-AWARD BIOS supports the Intel CPU. Using Setup In general, you use the arrow keys to highlight items, press to select, use the and keys to change entries, press for help and press to quit.
945P-A7G/945PL-A7G 1 Main Menu Once you enter Phoenix-Award BIOS™ CMOS Setup Utility, the Main Menu will appear on the screen. The Main Menu allows you to select from several setup functions. Use the arrow keys to select among the items and press to accept and enter the sub-menu. !! WARNING !! For better system performance, the BIOS firmware is being continuously updated. The BIOS information described in this manual (Figure 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) is for your reference only.
945P-A7G/945PL-A7G Advanced Chipset Features This submenu allows you to configure special chipset features. Integrated Peripherals This submenu allows you to configure certain IDE hard drive options and Programmed Input/ Output features. Power Management Setup This submenu allows you to configure the power management features. PnP/PCI Configurations This submenu allows you to configure certain “Plug and Play” and PCI options.
945P-A7G/945PL-A7G Set User Password If the Supervisor Password is not set, then the User Password will function in the same way as the Supervisor Password. If the Supervisor Password is set and the User Password is set, the “User” will only be able to view configurations but will not be able to change them. Save & Exit Setup Save all configuration changes to CMOS(memory) and exit setup. Confirmation message will be displayed before proceeding.
945P-A7G/945PL-A7G 2 Standard CMOS Features The items in Standard CMOS Setup Menu are divided into 10 categories. Each category includes no, one or more than one setup items.
