Chapter 4: The BIOS Setup Utility

Reset Configuration Data

Select Yes to reset Extended System Configuration Data (ESCD) when you exit Setup. This selection allows the PnP BIOS to detect your PCI and ISA PnP devices and reallo- cate resources to them. The default setting is No.

PCI Configuration

Use this selection for additional setup menus to configure PCI devices.

PS/2 Mouse

When disabled, this selection prevents the PS/2 mouse from functioning and frees up IRQ12. Selecting Enabled (default) allows the operating system to determine whether to enable or disable the mouse.

Secured Setup Configuration

Select Yes if you want the system settings to be secured from change by a Plug and Play operating system. The default setting is No.

Large Disk Access Mode

If you are using a DOS operating system (MS-DOS, Novell DOS or PC-DOS), set to DOS (default). If you are using anything else, set to OTHER.

DRAM Type

The DRAM type can be set for Non-Parity (default), Parity or ECC. Selecting ECC will detect the parity error and allow the system to correct the error.
