• Plug and Play O/S: specifies whether the operating system is
compatible with Plug and Play. The options are
Yes and No .
• Reset Configuration Data: selecting Yes causes the system to
clear its configuration data and automatically configure all PnP
devices at bootup. Selecting
No causes the system to use the
existing configuration information.
• Use Multiprocessor Specification: configures the multiprocessor
specification for compatibility reasons. Specification 1.4 allows
extended bus definitions and is required to permit a secondary PCI
bus to work without a bridge. However, some operating systems
require Specification 1.1 for compatibility reasons.
