70 SBC-770 User Manual

The displayed configuration is based on the manufacturer's SETUP
DEFAULTS settings.

NOTE: This chapter describes all fields offered by Award Software
in this screen. Your system board designer may omit or modify
some fields.

PNP OS Installed

Select Yes if the system operating environment is Plug-and-Play
aware (e.g., Windows 95).

Resources Controlled By

The Plug and Play AwardBIOS can automatically configure all the
boot and Plug and Play-compatible devices. If you select Auto, all
the interrupt request (IRQ) and DMA assignment fields disappear,
as the BIOS automatically assigns them.

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
cannot boot.

IRQ n Assigned to

When resources are controlled manually, assign each system
interrupt 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
specification, 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.
