PnP/PCI Configurations
This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. 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.
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 operat-
ing system like Windows
®
98. When set to NO, BIOS will initialize all the
PnP cards. So, select Yes if the operating system is Plug & Play aware.
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 card and the system reconfiguration has caused such a serious
conflict that the operating system can not boot. Settings: Enabled, Disabled.
