Plug and Play Installation Tips

Some common PCI tips are listed here.

!Reserve interrupts (IRQs) and/or memory addresses specifically for an ISA adapter. This prevents PCI cards from trying to use the same settings an ISA card is using. Use the BIOS Setup Utility to keep track of ISA adapter resources.

!Certain drivers may require interrupts that are not shared with other PCI drivers. The BIOS Setup Utility can be used to adjust the interrupt numbers for PCI devices. For certain drivers, it may be necessary to alter settings so that interrupts are not shared.

BIOS User’s Information

This section describes the various screen messages and beep codes of the system BIOS. The BIOS indicates errors by writing an error code to the PS/2-standard logging area in the Extended BIOS Data Area, and by displaying a message on the screen, which is sometimes preceded by the POST Error Code. The error code will also be logged to the Event Logging area.

Note: Your system error log will be lost, if your system ac power source is off or disconnected.
