BIOS SETUP
3-25
Resources Controlled By
By Choosing “Auto”, the system BIOS will detect the system
resource and automatically assign the relative IRQ and DMA Channel for
each peripheral.
By Choosing “Manual”(default), the user will need to assign IRQ &
DMA for add-on cards. Be sure that there is no conflict for IRQ/DMA and
I/O ports.
Note:
When choosing “Auto”, you must be sure that all of the system
add-on cards are PnP type.
Reset Configuration Data
The system BIOS supports the PnP feature so the system needs to
record which resource is assigned and protect resources from conflict.
Every peripheral device has a node which is called ESCD. This node records
which resources are assigned to it. The system needs to record and update
ESCD to the memory locations. These locations (4K) are reserved at the
system BIOS.
If Disabled (default) is chosen, the system’s ESCD will update only
when the new configuration varies from the last one.
If Enabled is chosen, the system will be forced to update the
system’s ESCD. Then, this option will be auto-set to Disable.
