PNP/PCI Configuration Option
These options configure how PnP (Plug and Play) and PCI
expansion cards operate in your system. Both the ISA and
PCI buses on the Mainboard use system IRQs (Interrupt Re-
Quests) and DMAs (Direct Memory Access). You must set up
the IRQ and DMA assignments correctly through the PnP/PCI
Configurations Setup utility for the mainboard to work properly.
Selecting PnP/PCI Configurations on the main program
screen displays this menu:
