AWARD BIOS SETUP
PnP OS Installed (Yes)
Normally PnP resources are allocated by the BIOS during POST (Power On Self
Test). If you are using a PnP operating system (e.g. Windows 98), set this item
to “Yes” to instruct the BIOS to configure only the resources for devices needed
during the boot process (e.g. video cards and SCSI controllers). The rest of the
system’s resources will then be allocated by the PnP operating system.
Resources Controlled By (Auto)
This option allows you to individually assign IRQs and DMAs to the ISA and PCI
devices. You will need to set the value to “Manual” if you wish to do so.
Reset Configuration Data (Disabled)
In case conflict occurs after you assign the IRQs or after you have configured
your system, you can enable this function to allow your system to automatically
reset your configuration and reassign the IRQs.
ACPI I/O Device Mode (Enable)
Enables or disables ACPI I/O devices.
PCI Delay Activated By (Level)
Specifies to the chipset whether IRQ signal input is a Level or an Edge trigger.
Assign IRQ for USB (Enabled)
When set to DISABLED the BIOS will not assign an IRQ for USB devices. If your
USB device(s) requires an IRQ then leave this option enabled.
Assign IRQ for VGA (Enabled)
Disabling this option will instruct the BIOS to not assign an IRQ for the video
card. If your video card requires an IRQ then leave this option enabled.
4.8 Load BIOS Defaults
Use this option to load the BIOS defaults during troubleshooting if it becomes
necessary to do so. Loading BIOS defaults loads settings concurrent with the
least optimized system performance. This function does not affect settings made
in the Standard CMOS Setup menu.
4.9 Load Setup Defaults
Use this option to load the system configuration defaults during troubleshooting if
it becomes necessary to do so. Loading Setup defaults loads settings concurrent
with the most optimized system performance. This functions does not affect the
settings made in the Standard CMOS Setup menu.
