Select Yes if the system operating environment is Plug-and-Play aware (ex:
Windows 95).
RESOURCE CONTROLLED BY:
The Award Plug and Play Bios can automatically configure all the booth

(IRQ) and DMA assignment fields disappear, as the BIOS automatically
assigns them.

When Enable, the system will reset Extended System Configuration Data
(ESCD) when you exit Setup if you have installed a new add-on and the
system reconfiguration has caused such a serious conflict that the operating
system cannot boot.

designed for PCI or ISA bus architecture.
