Manual. Press <Enter> and you will enter the sub-menu of the items. IRQ
Resources list IRQ-3/4/5/7/9/10/11/12/14/15 and DMA Resources list DMA-
0/1/3/5/6/7 for users to set each IRQ/DMA a type depending on the type of
device using the IRQ/DMA. Settings are:
PCI/ISA PnP
Legacy ISA
Note: IRQ (Interrupt Request) lines are system resources allocated
to I/O devices. When an I/O device needs to gain attention of the
operating system, it signals this by causing an IRQ to occur. After
receiving the signal, when the operating system is ready, the
system will interrupt itself and perform the service required by the
I/O device.
PCI/VGA Palette Snoop
PCI VGA palette is the set of colors currently used by the video device.
Some special VGA cards may not show colors correctly and need to look
into the video device's VGA palette to determine what colors are in use.
Then you have to turn on the palette "snoop", permitting the palette
registers of both VGA devices to be identical. The setting must be set to
Enabled if any non-standard VGA adapter card, such as MPEG card,
installed in the system requires VGA palette snooping.
INT Pin 1/2/3/4 Assignment
The items let you assign an IRQ line to INT Pin#1~4 separately. Selecting
Auto allows BIOS to determine the appropriate IRQ for each INT Pin.
For Plug & Play compatible devices designed for
PCI or ISA bus architecture.
For devices compliant with the PC AT bus
specification, requiring a specific interrupt.
