BIOS Setup Resources Controlled By The Award Plug and Play BIOS has the capacity to automatically configure all of the boot and Plug and Play compatible devices. However, this capability means absolutely nothing unless you are using a Plug and Play operating system such as Windows® 98/2000. If you set this field to "manual", choose specific resources by going into each sub menu that follows this field. Settings: Auto(ESCD), Manual. IRQ/DMA Resources The items are adjustable only when Resources Controlled By is set to Manual. Press and you will enter the sub-menu of each item. IRQ Resources list IRQ-3/4/5/7/9/10/11/12/14/15 and DMA Resources list DMA0/1/3/5/6/7 for users to set each IRQ/DMA a type depending on the type of device using the IRQ/DMA. Settings are: PCI/ISA PnP Legacy ISA For Plug & Play compatible devices designed for PCI bus architecture. The IRQ will be reserved for further request. PCI/VGA Palette Snoop When set to Enabled, multiple VGA devices operating on different buses can handle data from the CPU on each set of palette registers on every video device. Bit 5 of the command register in the PCI device configuration space is the VGA Palette Snoop bit (0 is disabled). For example, if there are two VGA devices in the computer (one PCI and one ISA) and the: VGA Palette Snoop Bit Setting Action Disabled Data read or written by the CPU is only directed to the PCI VGA device's palette registers. Enabled Data read or written by the CPU is directed to both the PCI VGA device's palette registers and the ISA VGA device's palette registers, permitting the palette registers of both VGA devices to be identical. The setting must be set to Enabled if any ISA adapter card installed in the system requires VGA palette snooping. 3-27
