When set to Manual the system BIOS will not refer to the ESCD for IRQ & DMA
information. Instead, it will refer to the items in the setup menu for assigning IRQ

information.
ESCD (Extended System Configuration Data) provides a detailed format of
the configuration data structures stored in flash memory. Each data structure
defines the resources used by a device or a card in the system. This includes
legacy and PCI/ISA PnP devices.
