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 95.
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 pro-
ceeded by a ">").
Ø
The choice: Auto(ESCD) or Manual.
IRQ/DMA Resources
When resources are controlled manually, assign each system interrupt
a type, depending on the type of device using the interrupt.
IRQ 3/4/5/7/9/10/11/12/14/15 assigned
This item allows you to determine the IRQ assigned to the ISA bus and
is not available to any PCI slot. Legacy ISA for devices is compliant with
the original PC AT bus specification; PCI/ISA PnP for devices is compli-
ant with the Plug-and-Play standard whether designed for PCI or ISA
bus architecture.
Ø
The choice: Legacy ISA or PCI/ISA PnP.
DMA 0/1/3/5/6/7 assigned
When resources are controlled manually, assign each system DMA
channel as one of the following types, depending on the type of device
using the interrupt:
Legacy ISA Devices compliant with the original PC AT bus specifica-
tion, requiring a specific interrupt ( such as IRQ4 for serial port 1). PCI/
ISA PnP Devices compliant with the Plug-and-Play standard, whether
designed for PCI or ISA bus architecture.
Ø
The choice: Legacy ISA or PCI/ISA PnP.
PCI/VGA Palette Snoop
It determines whether the MPEG ISA/VESA VGA Cards can work with
PCI/VGA or not. If you have MPEG ISA/VESA VGA Cards and PCI/
VGA Card worked, Enable this field. Otherwise, please Disable it.
Ø
The choice: Enabled or Disabled.
