•ExpressCard Hot-Plug Resources—This setting determines whether
or not resource pre-allocation is Enabled or Disabled for the
ExpressCard/34 port. When this setting is Enabled, the BIOS will
pre-allocate memory space, I/O space, and PCI bus numbers for the
ExpressCard/34 port, allowing non-PCI Express-aware operating
systems to support hot-plugging ExpressCard/34 devices. When this
setting is Disabled, no resources will be pre-allocated, and you may
need to restart the OS when hot-plugging an ExpressCard/34 device.
The default setting is Enabled.
•Hot-Plug Bus Gap—This setting determines the number of PCI buses
that will be reserved by the BIOS for ExpressCard/34 PCI-PCI bridges
that may be hot-plugged in the ExpressCard/34 slot. This setting is
only applicable if ExpressCard Hot-Plug Resources is set to
Enabled. The default value for this setting is 8 PCI buses.
•I/O—This setting determines the amount of I/O space, in bytes, that
will be reserved by the BIOS for PCI-PCI bridges that may be
hot-plugged in the ExpressCard/34 slot. This setting is only applicable
if ExpressCard Hot-Plug Resources is set to Enabled. The default
value for this setting is 4096 bytes of I/O space.
•Memory—This setting determines the amount of memory space, in
bytes, that will be reserved by the BIOS for PCI-PCI bridges that may
be hot-plugged in the ExpressCard/34 slot. This setting is only
applicable if ExpressCard Hot-Plug Resources is set to Enabled.
The default value for this setting is 32 megabytes of memory.
•Pre-fetchable Memory—This setting determines the amount of
pre-fetchable memory space, in bytes, that will be reserved by the
BIOS for PCI-PCI bridges that may be hot-plugged in the
ExpressCard/34 slot. This setting is only applicable if ExpressCard
Hot-Plug Resources is set to Enabled. The default value for this
setting is 32 megabytes of pre-fetchable memory.
