PNP/PCI Configurations
This section describes configuring the PCI bus system and PnP (Plug & Play)
feature.
PCI, or Peripheral Component Interconnect, is a system which allows
I/O devices to operate at speeds nearing the speed the CPU itself uses when
communicating with its 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.
Clear ESCD
The ESCD (Extended System Configuration Data) NVRAM (Non-volatile
Random Access Memory) is where the BIOS stores resource information for
both PNP and non-PNP devices in a bit string format.
When the item is set to
Enabled
, the system will reset ESCD NVRAM right after the system is booted
up and then set the setting of the item back to
Disabled
automatically.
Settings:
Disabled, Enabled
.
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.

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.
