WAFER-945GSE2 3.5" Motherboard B.1 One Key Recovery Introduction The IEI one key recovery is an easy-to-use front end for the Norton Ghost system backup and recovery tool. The one key recovery provides quick and easy shortcuts for creating a backup and reverting to that backup or for reverting to the factory default settings. The IEI One Key Recovery tool menu is shown below.
WAFER-945GSE2 3.5" Motherboard B.1.1 System Requirement NOTE: The recovery CD can only be used with IEI products. The software will fail to run and a warning message will appear when used on non-IEI hardware. To create the system backup, the main storage device must be split into two partitions (three partitions for Linux). The first partition will be for the operating system, while the second partition will be invisible to the operating system and contain the backup made by the one key recovery software.
WAFER-945GSE2 3.5" Motherboard NOTE: Specialized tools are required to change the partition size if the operating system is already installed. B.1.2 Supported Operating System The recovery CD is compatible with both Microsoft Windows and Linux operating system (OS). The supported OS versions are listed below.

WAFER-945GSE2 3.5" Motherboard AC ’97 Audio Codec 97 (AC’97) refers to a codec standard developed by Intel® in 1997. ACPI Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) is an OS-directed configuration, power management, and thermal management interface. AHCI Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) is a SATA Host controller register-level interface. ATA The Advanced Technology Attachment (ATA) interface connects storage devices including hard disks and CD-ROM drives to a computer.
WAFER-945GSE2 3.5" Motherboard DIMM Dual Inline Memory Modules are a type of RAM that offer a 64-bit data bus and have separate electrical contacts on each side of the module. DIO The digital inputs and digital outputs are general control signals that control the on/off circuit of external devices or TTL devices. Data can be read or written to the selected address to enable the DIO functions.
WAFER-945GSE2 3.5" Motherboard LVDS Low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) is a dual-wire, high-speed differential electrical signaling system commonly used to connect LCD displays to a computer. POST The Power-on Self Test (POST) is the pre-boot actions the system performs when the system is turned-on. RAM Random Access Memory (RAM) is volatile memory that loses data when power is lost. RAM has very fast data transfer rates compared to other storage like hard drives.
