PNP/PCI CONFIGURATION
This section describes how to configure PCI bus system. PCI, also known as
Personal Computer Interconnect, is a system, which allows I/O devices to
operate at speeds nearing the speed of the CPU itself uses when communi-
cating with its own special components. This section covers technical items,
which is strongly recommended for experienced users only.
RESOURCE CONTROLLED BY:
The Award Plug and Play Bios can automatically configure all of the booth
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 95. By choosing “manual”, you are allowed to
configure the
IRQ Resources
,
DMA Resources
and
Memory Resources
.
The choices are Auto(ESCD) and Manual.
IRQ RESOURCES:
You may assign each system interrupt a type, depending on the type of
device using the interrupt.
