Pci/Pnp - Intergraph InterServe 8000 Setup Manual

83
Operating System Boot Device
This parameter specifies which controller the BIOS will attempt to boot from first. By
default, PCI slot 4 (in which resides the AMI RAID controller or the Ultra Wide SCSI
controller) is the boot device. Refer also to the System Boot Up Sequence parameter in
"Advanced."
Installed Memory Speed
The server uses 60 nanosecond (ns) memory SIMMs, so this parameter is set to 60 ns by
default. SIMMs with different memory speeds are not supported.

PCI/PnP

The PCI/PnP Setup menu contains the parameters that affect the DMA channels, IRQs, and
PCI and PnP components.
Boot to PnP Operating System
When this parameter is set to No (default), the BIOS will initialize all devices during boot
up. When set to Yes, the BIOS only performs the amount of initialization required to load
the operating system. Any other device initialization must then be performed by the
operating system. The setting must always be No for systems using Windows NT Server 4.0.
PCI Latency Timer (PCI Clocks)
This parameter sets the PCI clock latency timing for PCI devices. The default is 40h.
PCI VGA Palette Snoop
This parameter controls the palette snoop function, which allows palette data from an
installed PCI video adapter to be shared with an installed ISA video adapter. This parameter
is set to Disabled by default, since ISA video adapters are not delivered with the system. To
let an ISA video adapter share the PCI video palette, set the parameter to Enabled.
PCI VGA Frame Buffering
To maintain good system performance, this parameter is set to Enabled by default. When
enabled, the parameter implements read prefetch support in the linear buffer of the system's
graphics accelerator. If you install a graphics card that does not support read prefetch, set
the parameter to Disabled.
