This field allows you to use a Plug-and-Play (PnP) operating system to
configure the PCI bus slots instead of using the BIOS. When [Yes] is selected,

non-PnP devices. It also holds the complete record of how the system was
configured the last time is was booted. Select [Yes] if you want to clear these
data during the Power-On-Self-Test (POST). Configuration options: [Disabled]

virus-free bootable floppy disk to restart and investigate your system.
Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]
