Page 51: Pnp/Pci Configurations
2.7 PnP/PCI Configurations This section describes configuring the PCI bus syste m . PCI or Personal Co m p uter Interconnect,is a syste m which allows I/O devices to operate at speeds nearing the speed of the CPU itself uses when co m m u nicating with its own special co m p onents. - Page 52 Reset Configuration Data The syste m BIOS supports the PnP feature so the syste m needs to record which resource is assigned and proceeds resources from conflict. Every peripheral device has a node, which is called ESCD. This node records which resources are assigned to it.
- Page 53 The above settings will be shown on the screen only if “Manual” is chosen for the resources controlled by function. Legacy is the ter m , which signifies that a resource is assigned to the ISA Bus and provides for non-PnP ISA add-on cards.
