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 [Press Enter]:
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.
Press <Esc> to return to Power Management Setup page.
Press <Esc> to return to CMOS Setup Utility page.
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 displays this menu:
