Menu Option

Clear NVRAM

Plug & Play O/S

PCI Latency Timer

Allocate IRQ to PCI VGA

PCI IDE BusMaster

Offboard PCI/ISA IDE Card

IRQ3 ~ IRQ11

Description

This setting allows you to clear NVRAM during a system boot. The options are No and YES.

Selecting YES allows the OS to configure Plug & Play devices. Select No to allow the AMI BIOS to configure all devices in your system.

NOTE: This is not required for system boot (select No) if your system has an OS that supports Plug & Play.

This sets the latency timer of each PCI device installed on a PCI bus. For example, select 64 to set the PCI latency to 64 PCI clock cycles. The options are 32, 64, 96, 128, 160, 192, 224 an 248.

Select Yes to assign IRQ to the PCI VGA card if the card requests IRQ. Selecting NO does not assign IRQ to the PCI VGA card even if the card requests an IRQ.

When ENABLED, this informs PCI devices that an ISA graphics device is installed in the system so the card will function correctly. The default is Disabled.

When enabled, the BIOS uses PCI bus mastering for reading/writing to IDE devices. The options are DISABLED and Enabled.

Some PCI IDE cards may require this setting to be set to the PCI slot number that is holding the card. The default Auto setting works for most PCI IDE cards.

When each of these settings is set to Available, the specified IRQ is available to be used by PCI/PnP devices. If set to RESERVED, the IRQ is reserved for use by lagacy ISA devices.
