PnP/PCI Configurations
This section describes the configuration of PCI bus system. PCI or Per-
sonal Computer Interconnection is a system which allows I/O devices to
operate at the speed CPU itself keeps when CPU communicating with its
own special components. This section covers some very technical items,
and it is strongly recommended that only experienced users should make
any changes 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 from Setup if you have installed a new device or software and the
system reconfiguration has caused such a serious conflict that the operat-
ing system can not boot.
Ø
The choice: Enabled or Disabled.
Resource Controlled By
The Award Plug-and-Play BIOS has the capacity to automatically config-
ure 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. If you set this field to "manual" ,
choose specific resources by going into each of the sub-menu that fol-
lows this field (a sub-menu is proceeded by a ">").
Ø
The choice: Auto(ESCD) or Manual.
