4.1.7 PNP/PCI Configuration Setup

This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. PCI, or Personal
Computer Interconnect, is a system which allows I/O devices to operate
at speeds nearing the speed the CPU itself uses when communicating
with its own special components. This section covers some very technical
items and it is strongly recommended that only experienced users should
make any changes to the default settings.

Reset Configuration Data
Normally, you leave this field Disabled. Select Enabled to reset Extended
System Configuration Data (ESCD) when you exit Setup if you have
installed a new add-on and the system reconfiguration has caused such a
serious conflict that the operating system can not boot. The settings are:
Enabled and Disabled (Default).
Resource Controlled By
The Award Plug and Play BIOS has the capacity to automatically config-
ure all of the boot and Plug and Play compatible devices. However, this
capability means absolutely nothing unless you are using a Plug and Play
operating system such as Windows® 95/98. If you set this field to "man-
ual" choose specific resources by going into each of the sub menu that
follows this field (a sub menu is preceded by a "ÿ"). The settings are:
Auto (ESCD) (Default), Manual.
