4.7. PnP/PCI Configuration
This option displays a table of items that configures how PnP (Plug
and Play) and PCI expansion cards operate in your in your system.
Both the ISA and PCI buses on the Mainboard use system IRQs
(Interrupt Requests) and DMAs (Direct Memory Access). You must
set up the IRQ and DMA assignments correctly through the PnP/PCI
Configurations Setup utility; otherwise, the mainboard will not
properly.
Selecting PnP/PCI Configurations on the main program screen
displays this menu:
Reset Configuration Data : The system BIOS supports the Plug
and Play feature so the resources assigned to each peripheral have to
be recorded to prevent them from conflicting. The location to store
the assigned resources is called ESCD (Extended System
Configuration Data) which is located in the system flash EEPROM.
If this option is set to “Disabled,” the ESCD will update
automatically when the new configuration varies from the last one.
If set to “Enable,” the ESCD will be cleared and updated and then
this option will automatically be set to “Disabled.”
