PnP/PCI Configurations
These options configure how PnP (Plug and Play) and PCI expansion cards operate in your system.
Both the the ISA and PCI buses on the motherboard use system IRQs (Interrup ReQuests) and
DMAs (Direct Memory Access). You must set up the IRQ and DMA assignments correctly through
the PnP/PCI Configurations Setup utility for the motherboard to work properly. Selecting PnP/PCI
Configurations on the main program screen to display this menu:
Init Display First (PCI Slot)
This item allows you to choose the primary display card.
Reset Configuration Data (Disabled)
If you enable this item and restart the system, any Plug and Play configuration data stored in the
BIOS Setup is cleared from memory.
Resources Controlled By (Auto(ESCD))
You should leave this item at the default Auto (ESCD). Under this setting, the system dynamically
allocates resources to Plug and Play devices as they are required.
If you cannot get a legacy ISA (Industry Standard Architecture) expansion card to work properly,
you might be able to solve the problem by changing this item to Manual, and then opening up the
IRQ Resources submenu.
IRQ Resources:
In the IRQ Resources submenu, if you assign an IRQ to
Legacy ISA, then that Interrupt Request Line is reserved for a legacy ISA
expansion card. Press <Esc> to close the IRQ Resources submenu. In the
Memory Resources submenu, use the first item Reserved Memory Baseto set
the start address of the memory you want to reserve for the ISA expansion
card. Use the section item Reserved Memory Length to set the amount of
reserved memory. Press <Enter> to close the Memory Resources submenu.
