6/10 LS/VS550 OWNER’S HANDBOOK
PCI Settings
The only configurable PCI setting is Palette Snooping. This can be
‘Enabled’ or ‘Disabled’ and should be enabled
only
for PCI video
expansion cards that specify it as being required.
Universal Serial bus (USB)
This is available for future use as more USB devices become
available. Leave set to ‘enabled’.
Memory settings
This page sets the level of memory testing. The available settings
are, ‘Disabled’, ‘Correction’, ‘Checking and Correction’. The
default setting is for ‘Correction’.
Pentium Pro features
The only setting is for BU Enable and this should be left ‘Enabled’.
Plug and Play
Enabling the Plug and Play adapter configuration will auto-configure
any Plug and Play cards but any ISA adapters which do not support
Plug and Play will require the system resources to be registered.
There is a separate option for each resource; memory, I/O ports,
DMA and interrupts. Some areas are allocated by the system and are
not shown. Each resource can be set to either
Plug and Play
or
ISA
legacy.
If shown as Plug and Play, it is assumed by the system not to
be in use by any ISA card or device and therefore will be made
available for the PCI auto-configure process.
Although many ISA cards are very simple to configure, the resources
they use, if any,
must
be registered in the BIOS. See the chapter
dealing with ‘Expansion’.
Error Log
Any errors reported during the POST routine will be logged in the
Error log. The log will display up to three errors detected
It can be reset, but should only be cleared after a note is made of the
faults during any diagnostic work.
