PnP/PCI Configurations
This category configures how PnP and PCI operate in your system.
Correctly setting up the IRQ and DMA (both PnP and PCI use) assign-
ments will make your system work stably. It is strongly recommended
that only technical users make changes to the default settings.

IRQ3/4/5/7/9/10/11/12/14/15 assigned
This item allows you to determine the IRQ assigned to the ISA bus and
is not available to any PCI slot. Legacy ISA for devices is compliant with
the original PC AT bus specification; PCI/ISA PnP for devices is compli-
ant with the Plug-and-Play standard whether designed for PCI or ISA bus
architecture.
Ø
The choice: PCI Device or Reserved.
