PNP/PCI Configurations
This section describes the BIOS configuration of the PCI bus system. This
section covers some very technical items and it is strongly recommended that
only experienced users should make any changes to the default settings.
PNP OS Installed
When set to
Yes
, BIOS will only initialize the PnP cards used for booting
(VGA, IDE, SCSI). Other cards will be initialized by the PnP operating
system like Windows
®
95 or 98/98SE. When set to
No
, BIOS will initialize
all the PnP cards. Set to
Yes
the operating system is Plug & Play capable.
The settings:
No
and
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 in-
stalled a new add-on and the system reconfiguration has caused such a
serious conflict that the operating system can not boot. The settings:
Enabled
and
Disabled
.
Resource Controlled By
The BIOS can automatically configure all the boot and Plug and Play
compatible devices. Choose “Auto(ESCD)” if unsure, the BIOS will auto-
matically assign IRQ, DMA and memory base address fields. The settings:
Auto (ESCD)
and
Manual
.
