PNP/PCI Configurations
This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. PCI (Peripheral Com-
ponent Interconnect) is a system, which allows I/O devices to operate at
speeds nearing CPU’s when they communicate with own special components.
All the options describes in this section are important and technical and it is
strongly recommended that only experienced users should make any changes
to the default settings.
Reset Configuration Data (Disabled)
If you enable this item and restart the system, any Plug and Play configuration
data stored in the BIOS setup is cleared from memory. New updated data is
created.
Resources Controlled By (Auto(ESCD))
You should leave this item at the default Auto(ESCD). Under this setting, the
system dynamically allocates resources to Plug and Play devices as they are
required. If you select the “Manual” option, the prompt on the following line,
“IRQ Resources” will become available to you.
You should leave this item at the default Auto(ESCD). Under this setting, the
system dynamically allocates resources to Plug and Play devices as they are
required.
If you cannot get a legacy ISA (Industry Standard Architecture) expansion card
to work properly, you might be able to solve the problem by changing this item
to Manual, and then opening up the IRQ Resources submenu.
IRQ Resources
The submenu allows you to individually assign an interrupt type for interrupts
IRQ-3 to IRQ-15.
PCI/VGA Palette Snoop (Disabled)
This item is designed to overcome problems that can be caused by some non-
standard VGA cards. This board includes a built-in VGA system that does not
require palette snooping so you must leave this item disabled.
