IRQ resources
These fields indicate whether or not the displayed IRQ for each
field is being used by a legacy (non-PnP card). Two options are
available: PCI/ISA PnP or Legacy. The first option, the default
setting, indicates that the displayed IRQ is not used to determine if
an ISA card is using that IRQ. If you install a legacy ISA card that
requires a unique IRQ, you must set the field for that IRQ to
"Legacy". Say for example that you install a legacy ISA card that
requires IRQ10. You must then set "IRQ10" assigned to "Legacy".
DMA resources
These fields indicate whether or not the displayed DMA for each
field is being used by a legacy (non-PnP card). Two options are
available: PCI/ISA PnP or Legacy. The first option, the default
setting, indicates that the displayed IRQ is not used to determine if
an ISA card is using that IRQ. If you install a legacy ISA card that
requires a unique DMA, you must set the field for that IRQ to
"Legacy".
Memory resources
Memory length can be reserved as 8 KB, 16 KB, 32 KB or 64 KB
and its address can be selected from C8000 to DC000. Reserved
memory address will not be modified when "Reserved Memory
Base" is N/A.
3.9 Load fail-safe defaults
Load Fail-safe Defaults indicates the most appropriate values for
the system parameters for stability. These default values are loaded
automatically if the stored record created by the setup program
becomes corrupted and unusable.
