Intel Desktop Board D945GSEJT Product Guide

SATA Interface

The Desktop Board supports two Serial ATA channels (3.0 Gb/s) that support one device per channel. The SATA controller supports IDE and ACHI configuration and can operate in both legacy and native modes.

Expandability

The Desktop Board provides the following expansion capability:

•One PCI connector. The connector can support either a single PCI add-in card or a single- or dual-slot PCI riser card.

•One PCI Express Full-Mini Card slot.

BIOS

The BIOS provides the Power-On Self-Test (POST), the BIOS Setup program, the PCI and IDE auto-configuration utilities, and the video BIOS.

ATA Auto Configuration

If you install an ATA device (such as a hard drive) in your computer, the auto- configuration utility in the BIOS automatically detects and configures the device for your computer. You do not need to run the BIOS Setup program after installing an ATA device. You can override the auto-configuration options by specifying manual configuration in the BIOS Setup program.

PCI/PCI Express Auto Configuration

If you install a PCI/PCI Express add-in card in your computer, the PCI/PCI Express auto-configuration utility in the BIOS automatically detects and configures the resources (IRQs, DMA channels, and I/O space) for that add-in card. You do not need to run the BIOS Setup program after you install a PCI/PCI Express add-in card.
