"Fast Page Mode," "EDO Mode," or "None installed" depending upon what the BIOS
detects.

Plug and Play Configuration

When the cursor is placed in the Plug and Play Configuration field, you can select it by
pressing Enter. The Plug and Play Submenu appears for setting parameters which allow the
BIOS to setup PCI and ISA Plug and Play expansion boards.

Plug and Play Submenu

The Plug and Play Submenu lets you check or change the Configuration Mode parameters.
The Configuration Mode field is used to choose the method in which information about
legacy ISA expansion boards (ISA boards which do not have Plug and Play capabilities) is
conveyed to the BIOS to allow the BIOS to set up PCI and ISA plug and Play expansion
boards without conflicting with the legacy ISA cards. The choices are as follows.
n
Use ICU The BIOS depends upon the information provided by run-time Plug
and Play software (Configuration Managers and ICU). When "Use ICU" is
chosen, the BIOS depends on run-time software to ensure that there are no
conflicts between ISA boards with plug and play capabilities and those without.
n
Use Setup Utility (default)
by you in the following fields to prevent conflicts between the Plug and Play and
ISA legacy boards. You should not install and use run-time Plug and Play
software such as Configuration Managers and the ISA Configuration Utility
(ICU).
ISA Shared Memory Size
The ISA Shared Memory Size field is used to set a block of system memory which
will not be shadowed (shadowing is a technique which copies a block of memory
from an add in the expansion board's ROM to the same address in the system
memory to allow faster access to the code and achieve higher performance).
If "Disabled," all upper memory is shadowed and ISA Shared Memory Base
Address field is not displayed. This field provides the following choices.
When a value other than "Disabled" is selected, a block is unshawdowed and the
ISA Shared Memory Base Address field will appear.
