Chapter 4 Award BIOS Setup

RESOURCE CONTROLLED BY:

The Award Plug and Play Bios can automatically configure all of the booth and Plug and Play-compatible devices. However, this capability means absolutely nothing unless you are using a Plug and Play operating system such as Windows 95. By choosing “manual”, you are allowed to configure the IRQ Resources and DMA Resources.

IRQ RESOURCES:
