AWARD BIOS SETUP
~40~
Reset Configuration Data :
Normally, you leave this field “Disabled”, Select “Enabled” to
reset Extended System Configuration Data (ESCD) when you exit Setup if you have
installed a new add-on and the system reconfiguration has caused such a serious conflict
that the operating system cannot boot.
The settings are : “Enabled and Disabled”.
Resource Controlled By :
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
98. If you set this field to “Manual” choose specific resources
by going into each of the sub menu that follows this field ( a sub menu is proceded by a
“
►
”). The settings are “Auto(ESCD)”, “Manual”.
IRQ Resources :
When resources are controlled manually, assign each system interrupt
as one of the following types, depending on the type of device using the interrupt.

IRQ3/4/5/7/9/10/11/14/15:
These items specify the bus where the specified IRQ line is
used. The settings determine if AMIBIOS should remove an IRQ from the pool of available
IRQs passed to devices that are configurable by the system BIOS. The available IRQ pool
is determined by reading the ESCD NVRAM. If more IRQs must be removed from the IRQ
pool, the end user can use these settings to reserve the IRQ by assigning an ISA/EISA
setting to it. Onboard I/O is configures by AMIBIOS. All IRQs used by onboard I/O are
configured as PCI/PnP. If all IRQs are set to ISA/EISA, and IRQ14/15 are allocated to the
