PnP/PCI Configurations

The table below describes each PnP/PCI configuration parameter. Settings in boldface are the default and suggested settings.

Parameter	Description	Options
PNP OS Installed	When set to [Yes], BIOS will only initialize the	No
	PnP cards used for booting (VGA, IDE, SCSI).	Yes
	The rest of the cards will be initialized by the PnP
	operating system like Windows 98. When set to
	[No], BIOS will initialize all the PnP cards. So,
	select [Yes] if your operating system is Plug &
	Play aware.
Reset Configuration Data	Select Enabled to reset Extended System	Disabled
	Configuration Data (ESCD) when you exit Setup	Enabled
	if you have installed a new add-on and the
	system configuration has caused such a serious
	conflict that the OS cannot boot.
Resources Controlled By	The Award Plug and Play BIOS has the capacity	Auto (ESCD)
	to automatically configure all of the boot and Plug	Manual
	and Play compatible devices. However, this
	capability means absolutely nothing unless you
	are using a Plug and Play operating system such
	as Windows 95/98. If you set this field to
	“manual” choose specific resources by going into
	each of the sub menu that follows this field.
