Resources
Contorlled By Use this setting to select whether the allocation of the I/O address, IRQ, DMA, and other system

IRQ Resources Sets the handling of IRQ Resources (interrupt number).
You can change IRQ Resources 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, and 15.
The default setting is PCI/ISA PnP for each resource.
PCI/ISA PnP:
The target IRQ resources are allocated automatically (dynamic allocation)
by PnP BIOS, as is the case when the Resource Controlled By setting is set to
Auto (ESCD).
Legacy ISA: The target IRQ resources are reserved (static allocation) and are not
affected by the PnP BIOS automatic (dynamic) allocation. When making
changes, be careful not to create a resource conflict.
DMA Resources Sets the handling of DMA resources (DMA channels).
You can change DMA Resources 0, 1, 3, 5, 6, and 7.
The default setting is PCI/ISA PnP for each resource.
PCI/ISA PnP:
The target DMA resources are allocated automatically (dynamic allocation)
by PnP BIOS, as is the case when the Resource Controlled By setting is set to
