Award BIOS Setup Guide

31

A short description of the screen items follows:

PNP OS Installed: Set this option to Yes if the operating system installed in the computer is Plug
and Play-aware (e.g. Windows 95).

Resources Controlled By: The Award Plug and Play BIOS can automatically configure all the
boot and Plug and Play-compatible devices.  If you select Auto, all the interrupt request (IRQ)
and DMA assignment fields disappear, as the BIOS automatically assigns them..

Reset Configuration Data: If enable this option, the BIOS will clear and reset the ESCD after
hardware reset.

IRQ#/DMA# assigned to: These items will be shown only when “Resources Controlled By”
option is set the “Manual”.  The available options are “Legacy ISA” and “PCI/ISA PnP”.  If the
option is set to “Legacy ISA”, the BIOS will never assign the specified IRQ/DMA resource to
PCI or ISA PnP Devices.  If “PCI/ISA PnP” is chosen, the BIOS will make the specified
IRQ/DMA have a chance to be assigned to the PCI or ISA PnP devices.

CPU to PCI Write Buffer: It is used to enable or disable the CPU to PCI Write Buffer.

PCI Dynamic Bursting: It is used to enable or disable the PCI dynamic bursting cycles.

PCI Master 0 WS Write: Choose enable to let the PCI Master using 0 wait state in write cycle.

PCI Peer Concurrency: Choose Enabled or Disabled.  To enable this option will let the system
active more than one PCI device at a time.

PCI Delay Transaction: Select Enabled to use the write buffer for the delay transaction cycles.  It
is selected to support the compliance of PCI Specification Version 2.1.

PCI Master Read Prefetch: It is used to enable or disable the PCI master read prefetch cycle.

AGP Master 1 WS Write/AGP Master 1 WS Read: These items are used to enable or disable
the AGP master device 1 wait state Write and Read cycle correspondingly.

PCI IRQ Active By: Choose Level or Edge.  The default setting is Level.

Assign IRQ For USB: It is used to choose the IRQ that the USB is used.

Assign IRQ For VGA: It is used to choose the IRQ that the VGA is used.
