PCI Autoconfiguration
The BIOS can automatically configure PCI devices.
PCI devices may be onboard or
add-in cards.
Autoconfiguration lets a user insert or remove PCI cards without having
to configure the system.
When a user turns on the system after adding a PCI card,
the BIOS automatically configures interrupts, the I/O space, and other system
resources.
Any interrupts set to Available in Setup are considered to be available for
use by the add-in card.
