This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. PCI (Personal Com-
puter Interconnect) is a system which allows I/O devices to operate at speeds
nearing the speed the CPU itself use when communicating with its own spe-
cial components. 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
Select Yes if the system operating environment is plug and play aware
(Windows 95/98).
The available options for PnP OS Installed are : [No] [Yes].
Reset Configuration Data
Normally, you leave this field Disabled. Select Enabled to rest Extened Sys-
tem Configuration Data (ESCD) when you exit setup if you have installed a
new add-on and the system reconfiguration has caused such a serious confilict
that the operating system connot boot.
The available options for Reset Configuration Data are : [Auto (ESCD)] [Manual].
Resources Controlled By
The Plug and Play Elite BIOS can automatically configure all the boot and
Plug and Play-compatible devices. If you select Auto, all the interrupt re-
quest (IRQ) and DMA assignment fields disappear, because the BIOS auto-
matically assigns them.
The available options for Resource Controlled By are : [Auto (ESCD) [Manual].
