Pci / Plug And Play Setup - ECS L7S7A Manual

PCI / Plug and Play Setup

This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. PCI (Peripheral Com-
ponent Interconnect) is a system, which allows I/O devices to operate at
speeds nearing CPU's when they communicate with own special components.
All the options describes in this section are important and technical and it is
strongly recommended that only experienced users should make any changes
to the default settings.
Plug and Play Aware O/S (Yes)
Enable this item if you are using an O/S that supports Plug and Play such as
Windows 95/98/ME.
PCI IDE BusMaster (Enabled)
Set this option to Enabled to specify that the IDE controller on the PCI bus has
bus mastering capability.
OffBoard PCI IDE Card (Auto)
This option specifies if an offboard PCI IDE controller adapter card is used in
the computer. You must also specify the PCI expansion slot on the mainboard
where the offboard PCI IDE controller card is installed. If an offboard PCI IDE
controller is used, the onboard IDE controller is automatically disabled.
OffBoard PCI IDE Primary IRQ (Disabled)
This option specifies the PCI interrupt used by the primary IDE channel on the
offboard PCI IDE controller.
OffBoard PCI IDE Secondary IRQ (Disabled)
This option specifies the PCI interrupt used by the secondary IDE channel on
the offboard PCI IDE controller.
DMA Channel 0/1/3/5/6/7 (PnP)
This option allows you to specify the bus type used by each DMA channel.
