Using BIOS
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:

This item allows you to choose the primary display card.
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.
PCI/VGA Palette Snoop (Disabled)
This item is designed to overcome problems that can be caused by some nonstandard
VGA cards. This board includes a built-in VGA system that does not require palette
snooping so you must leave this item disabled.
Maximum Payload Size (4096)
This item specifies the maximum payload size for the PCI Express function.
