Clear NVRAM
This item allows you to clear the data in the NVRAM (CMOS) by selecting “Yes”.
Options: No (Default) / Yes
Plug & Play OS
When set to YES, BIOS will only initialize the PnP cards used for the boot sequence
(VGA, IDE, SCSI). The rest of the cards will be initialized by the PnP operating
system like Window™ 95. When set to NO, BIOS will initialize all the PnP cards.
For non-PnP operating systems (DOS, Netware™), this option must set to NO.
Options: No (Default) / Yes
PCI Latency Timer
This item controls how long a PCI device can hold the PCI bus before another takes
over. The longer the latency, the longer the PCI device can retain control of the bus
before handing it over to another PCI device.
Options: 64 (Default) / 32 / 96 / 128 / 160 / 192 / 224 / 248
