PNP/PCI Configuration Option
This option displays a table of items that configures how PnP (Plug
and Play) and PCI expansion cards operate in your system. Both
the ISA and PCI buses on the Mainboard use system IRQs (Inter-
rupt ReQuests) and DMAs (Direct Memory Access). You must set
up the IRQ and DMA assignments correctly through the PnP/PCI
Configurations Setup utility; otherwise, the mainboard will not work
properly. Selecting PnP/PCI Configurations on the main program
screen displays this menu:

device. The default setting is No.
