3.8 PnP/PCI Configurations
PNP OS Installed [Default: No]
Select Yes if the system operating environment is Plug and Play aware, for example
Windows 95. Select No if you need the BIOS to configure non-boot devices.
Reset Configuration Data [Default: Disabled]
Normally, you leave this field disabled. Select enabled to reset Extended System
Configuration Data (ESCD) when you exit Setup if you have installed a new add-on and
the system reconfiguration has caused such a serious conflict that the operating system
cannot boot.
Resource Controlled By [Default: Auto (ESCD)]
The Award Plug and Play BIOS has the capacity to automatically configure the entire
Plug and Play compatible devices. However, this capability means absolutely nothing
unless you are using a Plug and Play operating system such as Windows 95. If you set
this field to Manual, please choose specific resources by going into each of the sub
menu that follows this field (a sub menu is proceeded by a ">")
IRQ Resource [Default: PCI/ISA PnP]
When resources are controlled manually, assign each system interrupt a type,
depending on the type of device using the interrupt. There are two types for choice:
Legacy ISA and PCI/ISA PnP. Legacy ISA: Devices compliant with the original PC AT bus
specification, requiring a specific interrupt (such as IRQ4 for serial port 1) PCI/ISA PnP:
Devices compliant with the Plug and Play standard, whether designed for PCI or ISA
bus architecture.
