4-9 PnP/PCI Configurations
78
This section describes how to configure the PCI bus system. PCI, or Personal Computer
Interconnect, is a system which allows I/O devices to operate at the speed the CPU itself
keeps when CPU communicates with its own special components. This section covers some
very technical items and we strongly recommended that only experienced users should make
any change to the default settings.

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 can not boot. The
settings are: Enabled and Disabled.
Resource Controlled By
The Award Plug and Play BIOS can 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 95/98. If you set this field to "manual",
choose a specific resource by going into each sub menu that follows this field
(a sub menu is preceded by a ">").
Settings are: Auto(ESCD) (default) or Manual.
