Chapter 4 BIOS Setup
4.5.6 PnP / PCI Configuration
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 communicating with
its own 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.
4.5.6.1 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 re-configuration has caused such a serious conflict that the operating
system cannot boot. Choices: Enabled, Disabled.
4.5.6.2 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 Win-
dows® 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 preceded by a “>”).
Choices: Auto(ESCD), Manual.
4.5.6.3 PCI / VGA Palette Snoop
Leave this field at Disabled. Choices: Enabled, Disabled.
