not attempt to make any change.
Resource controlled by
( Default setting is “Manual” )
The Award Plug and Play BIOS has the capacity to automatically configure all of the
boot 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.
The choice: Auto, Manual.
IRQ3/4/5/7/9/10/11/12/14/15 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 compliant with the original PC AT bus specification, requiring a
specific interrupt ( such as IRQ4 for serial port 1). PCI/ISA PnP Devices compliant
with the Plug and Play standard, whether designed for PCI or ISA bus architecture.
The choice: Legacy ISA, PCI/ISA PnP
DMA0/1/3/5/6/7 assigned to
When resources are controlled manually, assign each system DMA channel as one of
the following types, depending on the type of device using the interrupt:
Legacy ISA Devices compliant with the original PC AT bus specification, requiring a
specific interrupt ( such as IRQ4 for serial port 1). PCI/ISA PnP Devices compliant
with the Plug and Play standard, whether designed for PCI or ISA bus architecture.
The choice: Legacy ISA, PCI/ISA PnP.
PCI IRQ Activated by
( Default setting is “Level” )
This sets the method by which the PCI bus recognizes that an IRQ service is being
requested by a device. Under all circumstances, you should retain the default
configuration unless advised by qualified technicians.
The choice:
Level,

PCI IDE IRQ Map to
( Default setting is “PCI-AUTO” )
This allows you to configure your system to the type of IDE disk controller in use. By
default, Setup assumes that your controller is an ISA (Industry Standard Architecture)
device rather than a PCI controller. The more apparent difference is the type of slot
being used.
If you have equipped your system with a PCI controller, changing this allows you to
