PNP/PCI Configurations
This section describes configuring the PCI bus system and PnP (Plug & Play)
feature. PCI, or Peripheral Component Interconnect, is a system which allows I/O
devices to operate at speeds nearing the speed the CPU itself uses when communi-
cating with its 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.
PNP OS Installed
W hen set to [Yes], BIOS will only initialize the PnP cards used for booting (VGA, IDE,
SCSI). The rest of the cards will be initialized by the PnP operating system like
W indows 98. W hen set to [No], BIOS will initialize all the PnP cards. So, select [Yes]
if your operating system is Plug & Play aware.
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. Setting options: [Enabled] and [Disabled].
Resources 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 abso-
lutely nothing unless you are using a Plug and Play operating system such as W in-
dows
® 95/98. 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 preceded by a “Ø ”).
Setting options: [Auto (ESCD)], [Manual].
