PnP/PCI Configurations Page
These options configure how PnP (Plug and Play) and PCI expansion cards
operate in your system. Both the the ISA and PCI buses on the motherboard use
system IRQs (Interrup ReQuests) and DMAs (Direct Memory Access). You
must set up the IRQ and DMA assignments 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:
Reset Configuration Data
If you enable this item and restart the system, any Plug and Play configuration
data stored in the BIOS Setup is cleared from memory.
Resources Controlled By
You should leave this item at the default Auto (ESCD). Under this setting, the
system dynamically allocates resources to Plug and Play devices as they are re-
quired. If you cannot get a legacy ISA (Industry Standard Architecture) expansion
card to work properly, you might be able to solve the problem by changing this item
to Manual, and then opening up the IRQ Resources submenu.
• IRQ Resources [Press Enter]:In the IRQ Resources submenu, if you
assign an IRQ to Legacy ISA, then that Interrupt Request Line is reserved
for a legacy ISA expansion card. Press <Esc> to close the IRQ Resources
submenu.
PCI/VGA Palette Snoop
This item is designed to overcome problems that can be caused by some non-
standard VGA cards. This board includes a built-in VGA system that does not
require palette snooping so you must leave this item disabled.
Assign IRQ For USB
Names the interrup request (IRQ) line assigned to the USB on your system.
Activity of the selected IRQ always awakens the system.
