PnP/PCI Configuration
Both the ISA and PCI buses on the CPU card use system IRQs & DMAs. You must set up the IRQ and
DMA assignments correctly through the PnP/PCI Configuration Setup utility; otherwise the motherboard
will not work properly.

The following explains the options for each of the features as listed in the above menu:
PNP OS Installed: When set to Yes, BIOS will only initialize the PnP cards used for booting (VGA, IDE,
SCSI). The rest of the cards will be initialized by the PnP operating system like Windows® 95 or 98.
When set to No, BIOS will initialize all the PnP cards. So, for non-PnP operating system (DOS,
Netware®), this option must set to Yes.
Reset Configuration Data: Normally, you leave this field Disabled, Select Enabled to reset Extended
System Configuration Data (ESCD) when you exit Setup if you have installed a new add-on and the
system reconfiguration has caused such a serious conflict that the operating system cannot boot.
The settings are: Enabled and Disabled.
Resource Controlled By: The Award Plug and Play BIOS has the capacity to automatically configure all
of the boot and Plug and Play compatible devices. However, this capability means absolutely nothing
unless you are using a Plug and Play operating system such as Windows
98. If you set this field to
Manual choose specific resources by going into each of the sub menu that follows this field (a sub menu
is proceeded by a
f
). The settings are Auto (ESCD), Manual.
