BIOS SETUP
•
PnP OS Installed
This field allows you to use a Plug-and-Play (PnP) operating system to configure the PCI
bus slots instead of using the BIOS. Thus interrupts may be re-assigned by the OS when
“Yes” is selected. When a non-PnP OS is installed to prevent re-assigning of interrupt
settings, select the default setting of “No”.
•
Resource Controlled by
The Award Plug and Play BIOS can automatically configure all the boot and Plug and Play(PnP)
compatible devices. If you select “Auto”, all the interrupt request (IRQ) and DMA assignment
fields disappear, as the BIOS automatically assigns them.
•
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.
•
IRQ-n Assigned to
When resources are controlled manually, assign each system interrupt as one of the
following types, depending on the type of device using the interrupt.
- Legacy ISA Devices, requiring a specific interrupt (such as IRQ4 for serial port1),
compliant with the original PC AT bus specification.
