D850GB board may lose register settings stored in memory, etc. Calculate the standby current requirements using the steps described below. Power supplies used with the D850GB board must be able to provide enough standby current to support the Instantly Available (ACPI S3 sleep state) configuration as outlined in Table 52 below.
The other port may provide up to 7.5 mA (three nonwake-enabled devices.) during G1/S3 suspended operation. 2.11.4 Fan Connector Current Capability The D850GB board is designed to supply a maximum of 225 mA per fan connector. 2.11.5 Power Supply Considerations CAUTION The 5-V standby line for the power supply must be capable of providing adequate +5 V standby current.
Intel Desktop Board D850GB Technical Product Specification 2.12 Thermal Considerations CAUTION An ambient temperature that exceeds the board’s maximum operating temperature by 5 C to 10 could cause components to exceed their maximum case temperature and malfunction. For information about the maximum operating temperature, see the environmental specifications in Section 2.14.
Technical Reference Table 53 provides maximum case temperatures for D850GB board components that are sensitive to thermal changes. Case temperatures could be affected by the operating temperature, current load, or operating frequency. Maximum case temperatures are important when considering proper airflow to cool the D850GB board.

3.10 BIOS Security Features....................88 3.1 Introduction The D850GB board uses an Intel/AMI BIOS, which is stored in flash memory and can be updated using a disk-based program. In addition to the BIOS, the flash memory contains the BIOS Setup program, POST, APM, the PCI auto-configuration utility, and Plug and Play support.
Intel Desktop Board D850GB Technical Product Specification 3.2 BIOS Flash Memory Organization The Intel 82802AB Firmware Hub (FWH) includes a 4 Mbit (512 KB) symmetrical flash memory device. Internally, the device is grouped into eight 64-KB blocks that are individually erasable, lockable, and unlockable.
Plug and Play operating system can obtain the SMBIOS information. For information about Refer to The D850GB board’s compliance level with SMBIOS Section 1.3, page 16 3.5 USB Legacy Support USB legacy support enables USB devices such as keyboards, mice, and hubs to be used even when the operating system’s USB drivers are not yet available.
USB legacy support is for keyboards, mice, and hubs only. Other USB devices are not supported in legacy mode. 3.6 BIOS Updates The BIOS can be updated using either of the following utilities, which are available on the Intel World Wide Web site: •...
During POST, an Intel splash screen is displayed by default. This splash screen can be replaced with a custom splash screen. A utility is available from Intel to assist with creating a custom splash screen. The custom splash screen can be programmed into the flash memory using the BIOS upgrade utility.
Intel Desktop Board D850GB Technical Product Specification 3.8 Boot Options In the BIOS Setup program, the user can choose to boot from a diskette drive, hard drives, CD-ROM, or the network. The default setting is for the diskette drive to be the first boot device, the hard drive second, and the ATAPI CD-ROM third.
It is possible to optimize the boot process to the point where the system boots so quickly that the Intel logo screen (or a custom logo splash screen) will not be seen. Monitors and hard disk drives with minimum initialization times can also contribute to a boot time that might be so fast that necessary logo screens and POST messages cannot be seen.
Intel Desktop Board D850GB Technical Product Specification 3.10 BIOS Security Features The BIOS includes security features that restrict access to the BIOS Setup program and who can boot the computer. A supervisor password and a user password can be set for the BIOS Setup program and for booting the computer, with the following restrictions: •...
