C. Reset Configuration Data
When enabled the system BIOS will clear/reset the ESCD during POST.
After clearing the ESCD, the BIOS will then change this item's value to
Disabled. Otherwise, the ESCD data will become useless.
D. IRQ#/DMA# assign to
When resources are controlled manually, you can assign each system interrupt
& DMA channel for "Legacy ISA" or "PCI/ISA PnP" card used.
While using Legacy ISA Card(non-PnP ISA card), please set it's necessary
corresponding resources (INT#, DMA#) from "PCI/ISA PnP" to "Legacy
ISA."
@
All ISA non-PnP devices are legacy devices that select resources (I/O Addr.,
INT# or DMA#) by using hardware jumpers.
@
IRQ-3/4/7/12/14/15 have been set as default for on board devices (COM2,
COM1, Printer port, PS/2 mouse, IDE1 and IDE2).
E. Assign IRQ For VGA
This function allows BIOS to make an IRQ available to VGA cards. Most
current VGA card models do not require this function to be enabled.
F. Assign IRQ For USB
If USB is employed this function must be Enabled. Otherwise, disable this
function to optimize Windows 95 IRQ resources for other IRQ usage.
G. FDD IRQ Can Be Free
This function allows user to choose if the FDD IRQ is able to be freed up. The
setting NO does not allow the FDD IRQ to be free.
H. Used MEM base addr
This function devotes a space of memory (8K, 16K, 32K, 64K) for any periph-
eral that has a high memory requirement. This is also used to designate
memory space for legacy ISA cards. The settings C800~DC00 are used to to
designate point at which the memory will start being used. The default setting is
N/A (disabled.)
I. Used MEM Length
8K~64K: Determines the amount of memory to be used by ISA cards men-
tioned in the Used MEM base addr function above.
