AWARD BIOS SETUP
3.6 PNP/PCI Configuration Setup
The PNP/PCI Configuration Setup allows you to configure the ISA and PCI devices installed in
your system. The following screen appears if you select the option “PNP/PCI Configuration
Setup “from the main menu.
PnP OS Installed (No)
Normally, the PnP resources are allocated by BIOS during POST (Power-On Self Test). If you
are using a PnP operating system (such as Windows 95), set this item to Yes to inform BIOS to
configure only the resources needed for booting (VGA/IDE or SCSI). The rest of system
resources will be allocated by PnP operating system.
Resources Controlled By (Auto)
Setting this option to Manual allows you to individually assign the IRQs and DMAs to the ISA and
PCI devices. Set this to Auto to enable the auto- configuration function.
Reset Configuration Data (Disabled)
In case conflict occurs after you assign the IRQs or after you configure your system, you can
enable this function, allow your system to automatically reset your configuration and reassign the
IRQs.
PCI IDE IRQ Map To (PCI-AUTO)
Some old PCI IDE add-on cards are not fully PnP compatible. These cards require you to specify
the slot in use to enable BIOS to properly configure the PnP resources. This function allows you
to select the PCI slot for any PCI IDE add-on card present in your system. Set this item to Auto to
allow BIOS to automatically configure the installed PCI IDE card(s).
