Award BIOS Utility

z Reset Configuration Data

Normally, you leave this item Disabled. Select Enabled to reset

Extended System Configuration Data (ESCD) when you exit Setup

or if installing a new add-on cause the system reconfiguration a

serious conflict that the operating system can not boot. Options:

Enabled, Disabled.

z Resources Controlled By

The Award Plug and Play BIOS can automatically configure all

boot and Plug and Play-compatible devices. If you select Auto, all

interrupt request (IRQ), DMA assignment, and Used DMA fields

disappear, as the BIOS automatically assigns them. The default

value is “Manual”.

z IRQ Resources

When resources are controlled manually, assign each system

interrupt to one of the following types in accordance with the type

of devices using the interrupt:

1. Legacy ISA Devices compliant with the original PC AT bus

specification, requiring a specific interrupt (such as IRQ4 for serial port

1).

2. PCI/ISA PnP Devices compliant with the Plug and Play standard,

whether designed for PCI or ISA bus architecture.

The default value is “PCI/ISA PnP”.

z PCI/VGA Palette Snoop

Some non-standard VGA display cards may not show colors

properly. This item allows you to set whether MPEG ISA/VESA

VGA Cards can work with PCI/VGA or not. When enabled, a

PCI/VGA can work with a MPEG ISA/VESA VGA card; when

disabled, a PCI/VGA cannot work with a MPEG ISA/VESA Card.

** PCI Express relative items **

z Maximum Payload Size

When using DDR SDRAM and Buffer size selection, another

consideration in designing a payload memory is the size of the

buffer for data storage. Maximum Payload Size defines the

maximum TLP (Transaction Layer Packet) data payload size for

the device.
