PNP/PCI Configurations
These options configure how PnP (Plug and Play) and PCI expansion cards operate in your
system. Both the ISA and PCI buses on the motherboard use system IRQs (Interrupt

ments correctly through the PnP/PCI Configurations Setup utility for the motherboard to
work properly. Selecting PnP/PCI Configurations on the main program screen displays this
menu:
