7 PnP/PCI Configurations
This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. PCI, or Personal Computer
Interconnect, is a system which allows I/O devices to operate at speeds nearing the speed of
the CPU itself uses when communicating with its own special components. This section
covers some very technical items and it is strongly recommended that only experienced
users should make any changes to the default settings.

Figure 7. PnP/PCI Configurations
Init Display First
With systems that have multiple video cards, this option determines whether the primary
display uses a PCI Slot or an AGP Slot.
The Choices: PCI Slot
(default), AGP.
Resources Controlled By
By Choosing “
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.
IRQ Resources
This submenu will allow you to assign each system interrupt a type, depending on the type
of device using the interrupt. When you press the “Press Enter” tag, you will be directed to
a submenu that will allow you to configure the system interrupts.
This is only
configurable when “Resources Controlled By” is set to “Manual”.
