PCI Auto-configuration
The PC1 auto-configuration utility works with the SETUP
program to support PC1 option cards. When you turn on the
computer after installing a PC1 option card, the BIOS
automatically configures interrupts, DMA channels, I/O
addresses, and other settings. You can also customize these
resources in SETUP.
BIOS Upgrades
Because the BIOS is stored in a flash ROM device, you can
easily upgrade the BIOS information without replacing the
chip. You can upgrade the BIOS by running a utility from a
diskette, hard disk, or network server.
