7 PnP/PCI Configurations

This section describes configu ring the PCI bus system. PCI, or Personal
Computer Interconn ect, is a system which allows I/O devices to operate at
speeds nearing the speed of 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.

Reset Configuration Data

The system BIOS supports the PnP feature which requires the system to record
which resources are assigned and protects resources from con flict.
Every periph eral device has a node, which is called ESCD. This node records
which resources are assigned to it. The system needs to record and update ESCD
to the memory locations. These locations are reserved in the system BIOS. If the
Disabled (default) option is chosen, the system's ESCD will update only when
the new configuration varies from the last one. If the Enabled option is chosen,
the system is forced to update ESCDs and then is automatically set to the
"Disabled" mode.
The above settings will be shown on the screen only if " Manual" is chosen for
the resources controlled by function.
