Pnp/Pci Configuration Option - Elitegroup Computer Systems P6IWM Manual

PNP/PCI Configuration Option

These options configure how PnP (Plug and Play) and PCI
expansion cards operate in your system. Both the ISA and
PCI buses on the Mainboard use system IRQs (Interrupt Re-
Quests) and DMAs (Direct Memory Access). You must set up
the IRQ and DMA assignments correctly through the PnP/PCI
Configurations Setup utility for the mainboard to work properly.
Selecting PnP/PCI Configurations on the main program
screen displays this menu:

Reset Configuration Data (Disabled)
If you enable this item and restart the system, any Plug and
Play configuration data stored in the BIOS Setup is cleared
from memory.
Resources Controlled By (Auto(ESCD))
You should leave this item at the default Auto(ESCD). Under
this setting, the system dynamically allocates resources to
Plug and Play devices as they are required.
If you cannot get a legacy ISA (Industry Standard Architecture)
expansion card to work properly, you might be able to solve
the problem by changing this item to Manual, and then open-
ing up the IRQ Resources and Memory Resources submenus.
