reconfiguration has caused such a serious conflict that the OS cannot boot. The setting
will automatically be set back to “Disabled” when the system reboots.

Resources Controlled by
The Award Plug and Play BIOS can automatically configure all the boot and Plug and
Play (PnP) compatible devices. If you select “Auto(ESCD)”, the Interrupt Requests

submenus to make manual assignments.

PnP OS Installed
This field allows you to use a Plug and Play (PnP) OS to configure the PCI bus slots
instead of using BIOS. Thus, interrupts may be reassigned by the OS when “Yes” is
selected. To prevent reassigning of interrupt settings when a non-PnP OS is installed,
select the default setting of “No”.
