PNP and PCI Setup
This “PNP and PCI Setup” option configures the PCI bus slots.
All PCI bus slots on
the system use INTA#, thus all installed PCI cards must be set to this value.
PNP OS Installed
This field allows you to use a Plug-and-Play (PnP) operating system to configure
the PCI bus slots instead of using the BIOS. Default setting is
No
.
Slot 1 (RIGHT) IRQ
to
Slot 4 (LEFT) IRQ
These fields set how IRQ use is determined for each PCI slot.
The default setting for
each field is
Auto
, which uses auto-routing to determine IRQ use. The other options are
manual settings of
NA, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14
or
15
for each slot.
PCI Latency Timer
The default setting of “32 PCI Clock” enables maximum PCI performance for this
motherboard.
IRQ xx Used By ISA
These fields indicate whether or not the displayed IRQ for each field is being used
by a legacy (non-PnP) ISA card.
Two options are available:
No/ICU
and
Yes
.
The
first option, the default value, indicates either that the displayed IRQ is not used or
an ISA Configuration Utility (ICU) is being used to determine if an ISA card is
using that IRQ.
If you install a legacy ISA card that requires a unique IRQ, and you
are not using an ICU, you must set the field for that IRQ to
Yes
.
For example:
If you
install a legacy ISA card that requires IRQ 10, then set
IRQ10 Used By ISA
to
Yes
.
