PNP/PCI Configuration

This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. It covers some
very technical items and it is strongly recommended that only experi-
enced users should make any changes to the default settings.

Reset Configuration Data

Enabled

Disabled

The BIOS will reset the configuration data once automatically.

The BIOS will not reset the configuration data.

Resources Controlled By

The system will automatically detect the settings for you. The
categories that follow will not be shown on the PNP/PCI Con-
figuration screen.

This allows you to set the IRQ/DMA (you have assigned your
add-in card) to Legacy ISA or PCI/ISA PnP. For non-PnP ISA
cards, select Legacy ISA. For PnP ISA or PCI cards, select
PCI/ISA PnP.

Manual

PCI IRQ Active By

This category is used to set the method by which the PCI bus recog-
nizes that an IRQ service is being requested by a device. Under all
circumstances, you should retain the default configuration unless a dif-
ferent setting is needed.
