3.3 Resource Configuration
3.3.1 PCI Express Autoconfiguration
The BIOS can automatically configure PCI Express devices. PCI Express devices may
be onboard or add-in cards. Autoconfiguration lets a user insert or remove PCI
Express cards without having to configure the system. When a user turns on the
system after adding a PCI Express card, the BIOS automatically configures interrupts,
the I/O space, and other system resources. Any interrupts set to Available in Setup
are considered to be available for use by the add-in card.
