Reset Configuration Data
The s ystem BIOS supports the PnP feature which requires the system to record
whic h resourc es are ass igned and protects reso urc es fro m conflict.
Every peripheral device has a nod e, whic h is called ESCD. This node records
whic h resourc es are ass igned to it. The s ystem needs to record and update ESCD
to the memory locations. These locations are reserved in the system BIOS. If the
Disabled (default) option is chosen, the system‘s ESCD will update only when
the new configuration varies from the las t one. If the Enabled optio n is chosen,
the system is forc ed to update ESCDs and then is automatically s et to the
“Disabled” mode.
The above settings will be shown on the screen o nly if “ Manual” is chosen for
the resources controlled by function.
Legacy is the term, which signifies that a resourc e is ass igned to the ISA Bus
and provides non-P nP ISA add -on cards. PCI / ISA PnP signify that a resource
is assigned to the PCI Bus or provides for ISA PnP add-on cards and
peripherals.
The Choices: Disabled (default), Enabled.
Resources Controlled By
By Choos ing “Auto(ESCD)” (default), the system BIOS will detect the system
resources and automatically assign the relative IRQ and DMA channel for each
peripheral. By Choosing “Manual”, the user will need to assign IRQ & DMA for
add-on cards. Be sure that there are no IRQ/DMA and I/O port conflicts.
The Choices: Auto (ESCD) (default), Manual.
