PNP/PCI Configuration Setup Screen

The PNP/PCI Configuration Setup describes how to configure PCI bus system. PCI, also known as Personal Computer Interconnect, is a system, which allows I/O devices to operate at speeds nearing the speed of the CPU itself uses when communicating with its own special components.

This section covers technical items, which is strongly recommended for experienced users only.

INIT DISPLAY FIRST:

This item allows you to decide to active whether PCI Slot or on-chip VGA first.

RESET CONFIGURATION DATA:

Normally, you leave this field Disabled. Select Enabled to reset Extended System Configuration Data (ESCD) when you exit Setup if you have installed a new add-on and the system configuration has caused such a serious conflict that the operating system cannot boot.
