PCI/PnP --> Plug and Play Aware O/S
Plug and Play
Aware O/S
No
Yes
Normally the PnP resource is allocated by BIOS during
POST (Power-On Self Test). If you are using PnP operating
system (such as Windows 95), you may set this item to
Yes, which informs BIOS to configure only the resources
needed for boot (VGA/IDE or SCSI). The rest of system
resources will be allocated by PnP operating system.
PCI/PnP --> PCI VGA Palette Snoop
PCI VGA
Palette Snoop
Disabled
Enabled
Enable this item informs the PCI VGA card to be quiet
preventing conflict when the palette register is updated
(accept data without responding any communication
signals). This is only useful for two display cards use the
same palette address and plugged on the PCI bus together
(such as MPEQ or Video capture), one is set to be quiet and
the other is set to act normally.
PCI/PnP --> PCI IDE Card
PCI IDE Card
Auto
Slot1
Slot2
Slot3
Slot4
Some old PCI IDE add-on cards are not fully PnP
compatible. You need to specify the slot you are using for
BIOS to configure correct PnP resources. This function
allows you to select the PCI slot for any of PCI IDE add-on
card present. Set this item to Auto to automatically
configure the installed PCI IDE card.
PCI/PnP --> PCI IDE Primary IRQ
PCI/PnP --> PCI IDE Secondary IRQ
PCI IDE

Disabled
INTA
INTB
INTC

Hardwired
These two items are in conjunction with "PCI IDE Card" to
decide IRQ routing of the primary or secondary channel of
the PCI IDE add-on card (not the onboard IDE). Each PCI
slot has 4 PCI interrupts aligned as the table below, you
have to specify the slot in "PCI IDE Card" above and choose
the PCI interrupt ( INTx) according to the interrupt
connection on the card. There are also cards support legacy
mode only, which is, connect IRQ directly through small
extension card on ISA bus, not through PCI interrupt. In
such case, select Hardwired.
