[. . . ] The Award BIOSTM installed in your computer system's ROM (Read Only Memory) is a custom version of an industry standard BIOS. The BIOS provides critical low-level support for standard devices such as disk drives and serial and parallel ports. Adding important has customized the Award BIOSTM, but nonstandard, features such as virus and password protection as well as special support for detailed fine-tuning of the chipset controlling the entire system. The rest of this manual is intended to guide you through the process of configuring your system using Setup. Plug and Play Support These AWARD BIOS supports the Plug and Play Version 1. 0A specification. ESCD (Extended System Configuration Data) write is supported. EPA Green PC Support This AWARD BIOS supports Version 1. 03 of the EPA Green PC specification. APM Support These AWARD BIOS supports Version 1. 1&1. 2 of the Advanced Power Management (APM) specification. Power management features are implemented via the System Management Interrupt (SMI). Power to the hard disk drives and video monitors can be managed by this AWARD BIOS. ACPI Support Award ACPI BIOS support Version 1. 0 of Advanced Configuration and Power interface specification (ACPI). It provides ASL code for power management and device configuration capabilities as defined in the ACPI specification, developed by Microsoft, Intel and Toshiba. 1 K8M800 Micro AM2 BIOS Setup PCI Bus Support This AWARD BIOS also supports Version 2. 1 of the Intel PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) local bus specification. DRAM Support DDR SDRAM (Double Data Rate Synchronous DRAM) are supported. Supported CPUs This AWARD BIOS supports the AMD CPU.
