BIOS Setup Information
PCI VGA Palette Snoop
Some display cards that are non-standard VGA, such as graphics accelerators or
MPEG video cards, may not show colors properly. You can choose the
Enabled
setting to correct this display mismatch problem. Supporting ISA adapter cards
installed in the computer requires VGA palette snooping.
Allocate IRQ to PCI VGA
This option will be used to allocate an IRQ for a PCI VGA card.
PCI IDE BusMaster
Set this option to
Enabled
to specify that the IDE controller on the PCI local bus
has a bus mastering capability.
Offboard PCI IDE Card
This option specifies if an offboard PCI IDE controller adapter board is used in the
computer. You must also specify the PCI expansion slot on the Single Board
Computer (SBC) where the offboard PCI IDE controller card is installed. If an
offboard PCI IDE controller is used, the onboard IDE controller on the SBC is
automatically disabled.
If
Auto
is selected, BIOS automatically determines the
correct setting for this option. If you want to respectively control offboard PCI IDE
primary/secondary IRQ resources, you should set this option between
Slot 1
and
Slot 4
. Otherwise, all of these sub-options will not be available.
Offboard PCI IDE Primary/Secondary IRQ
This option specifies the PCI interrupt used by the primary/secondary IDE
channel on the offboard PCI IDE controller. The settings are
Disabled
,
INTA
,
INTB
,
INTC
,
INTD
, or
Hardwired
for installing offboard non-compliant
PCI IDE cards.
PCI Slot 1/2/3/4 IRQ Priority
These options specify the priority IRQ to be used for PCI devices installed in PCI
expansion slots 1 through 4, but do not force selection. The settings are Auto (AMI
BIOS automatically determines the priority IRQ), (IRQ) 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, or 11.
