PCI & Onboard I/O Setup

In this menu, you can change the INT# and IRQ of the PCI bus and the

onboard I/O device, I/O port address and other hardware settings.

Fig 3-6 PCI & Onboard I/O Setup

Reset PnP Config Data:

If you want to clear ESCD data next time you boot up, and ask the BIOS to
reset the settings for the Plug & Play ISA Card and the PCI Card, select Enabled.
But the next time you boot up, this option will automatically be set as Disabled.

ESCD (Extended System Configuration Data)

The ESCD contains the IRQ, DMA, I/O Port, Memory information
of the system. This is a specification and a feature specific to Plug &
Play BIOS.
