C2SBA+II/C2SBA+/C2SBA/C2SBE User’s Manual 1-2 Chipset Overview The Intel G33/P35 chipset is specially designed for use with the Intel dual core processors. It consists of two primary components: the Graphic Memory Controller Hub (GMCH) and the I/O Controller Hub (ICH9/ICH9R). The GMCH (North Bridge) manages the data flow between the CPU interface (FSB), the System Memory interface, the External Graphics interface, and the I/O Controller through the DMI (Direct Media) Interface.
Chapter 1: Introduction 1-3 Recovery from AC Power Loss BIOS provides a setting for you to determine how the system will respond when AC power is lost and then restored to the system. You can choose for the system to remain powered off (in which case you must hit the power switch to turn it back on) or for it to automatically return to a power on state. See the Power Lost Control setting in the BIOS chapter of this manual to change this setting. The default setting is Last State.
