BIOS Setup Information
PCI VGA Palette Snoop
Some display cards that are nonstandard VGA, such as graphics accelerators or MPEG video
cards, may not show colors properly. Choose the
Enabled
setting to correct this display
mis-match problem. The computer requires VGA palette snooping to support any ISA adapter
card installed.
PCI IDE BusMaster
Set this option to
Enabled
to specify that the IDE controller on the PCI local bus has a
bus-mastering capability.
PCI Slot 1/2/3/4 IRQ Priority
These options specify the IRQ priority to be used for any PCI devices installed in PCI
expansion slots 1 through 4. The settings are (IRQ)
3
,
4
,
5
,
7
,
9
,
10
,
11, and Auto
(AMIBIOS
automatically determines the IRQ priority).
DMA Channel 0/1/3/5/6/7\
These options specify whether the named DMA channel is available for use on the ISA/EISA
bus or PnP (Plug-n-Play).
IRQ 3/4/5/7/9/10/11/12/14/15
These options specify the bus that the named interrupt request lines (IRQs) are used on. These
options allow you to specify IRQs for use by legacy ISA adapter cards. These options
determine if AMIBIOS should remove an IRQ from the pool of available IRQs passed to
devices that are configurable by the system BIOS. The available IRQ pool is determined by
reading the ESCD NVRAM. If more IRQs must be removed from the pool, the end user can use
the PCI/PnP Setup to remove the IRQ by assigning the option to the ISA/EISA setting. All
IRQs used by onboard I/O are configured as PCI/PnP.
