Award BIOS Setup Utility
Resources Controlled By
The Award Plug and Play BIOS has the capability to automatically
configure all of the boot and Plug and Play compatible devices.
Auto
The system will automatically detect the settings for you.
The categories that follow will not be shown on the
screen.
Manual
This will allow you to set the IRQ/DMA (you have
assigned your add-in card) to Legacy ISA or PCI/ISA
PnP. For non-PnP ISA cards, select Legacy ISA. For PnP
ISA or PCI cards, select PCI/ISA PnP.
Reset Configuration Data
Enabled
The BIOS will reset the configuration data once
automatically. It will then recreate a new set of
configuration data.
Disabled
The BIOS will not reset the configuration data.
PCI IRQ Actived By
This category is used to set 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
a different setting is needed.
Assign IRQ for VGA
When Enabled, the system automatically assigns an IRQ for the VGA
card installed. Your VGA card will need an IRQ only when using the
video capture function of the card. If you are not using this function
and a new device requires an IRQ, you can set this function to
Disabled. The IRQ (previously occupied by the VGA card) will be
available for your new device.
Note:
When Disabled, a Yellow mark will appear in Windows
95s
Device Manager.
PCI Slot 1 Use IRQ to PCI Slot 4 Use IRQ
By default, an IRQ will automatically be assigned to each PCI slot.
You may manually assign an IRQ to these slots by selecting one of
the available options.
