Settings (default is bold) and Description
No, Yes
The default for systems running Windows NT
operating system is No and for systems running
Windows 95 operating system is Yes.
With a No setting, BIOS configures all devices.
With a Yes setting, the operating system
configures any Plug and Play device not required
when the system boots (presumes a Plug and
Play operating system).
No, Yes
A Yes setting clears the PCI/PnP configuration
data stored in FLASH ROM when the system
reboots. A Yes setting always reverts to No after
the reboot.
Auto, On, Off
Determines whether Numlock is on or off when
the system is powered on. Auto sets Numlock to
the same setting it had before the system was
rebooted.
This menu changes dynamically as choices are
made. For example, if Serial Port A is set to
Enabled, additional choices appear for Base I/O
address and interrupt. Dynamic submenu items
are indicated in this table with an arrow ( ).
Enabled, Auto, Disabled
Auto enables the device, but the BIOS does not
place its resources unless the Plug and Play O/S
option in BIOS is set to No.
3F8, 2F8, 3E8, 2E8
An asterisk ('*') displayed next to an address
indicates a conflict with another device.
This option only appears if Serial Port A is set to
Enabled.
