2.7 PNP / PCI Configuration Setup
This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. PCI, or Personal Computer
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.

PNP OS Installed
When 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
systems, like Windows
TM
95. When set to “ No” , BIOS will initialized all the PnP
cards. Therefore for non-PnP operating system (DOS, Netware
TM
), this option
must set to “ No”.
The Choices: No (default),Yes.
