IV. BIOS SOFTWARE Thermal Monitor (xxxC/xxxF) The onboard hardware monitor can detect the CPU and MB (motherboard) temperatures. These values refresh upon key entries. Set to Ignore only if necessary. Voltage Monitor (xx.xV) The onboard hardware monitor can detect the voltages put out by the voltage regulators. These values refresh upon key entries. Set to Ignore only if necessary. NOTE: If any of the monitored items are out of range, you will get an error message. Follow the onscreen instructions to troubleshoot. 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. IV. BIOS PnP / PCI NOTE: SETUP Defaults are noted in parenthesis next to each function heading. Details of PNP and PCI Setup PNP OS Installed (No) This field allows you to use a Plug-and-Play (PnP) operating system to configure the PCI bus slots instead of using the BIOS. Thus interrupts may be reassigned by the OS when Yes is selected. When a non-PnP OS is installed or to prevent reassigning of interrupt settings, select the default setting of No. Slot 1 (RIGHT) IRQ to Slot 4 (LEFT) IRQ (Auto) 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 (32 PCI Clock) The default setting of 32 PCI Clock enables maximum PCI performance. ASUS SP98AGP-X User's Manual 49
