MAINBOARD BIOS SETUP
3.9 PnP/PCI Configurations
The PCI Personal Component Interconnect Bus was developed to address two important
issues: a) How to allow peripheral devices to take the fullest advantage of the power of
Pentium and Pentium Pro chip technology, and b) Provide a simpler installation process for
peripheral devices, such as Network cards, EIDE or SCSI controllers.
PCI accomplishes these goals with its 32-bit Data path Local Bus design, and support for Plug
& Play. Unlike older expansion bus architectures, PCI provides peripherals with a direct
connection to the CPU and memory. The PCI bus runs at 33Mhz and has a maximum transfer
capability of 132MBps. With Plug & Play, the system BIOS automatically determines hardware
resources for new peripherals, simplifying installation of multiple interface cards.
