4.3.5 PCI / Plug and Play Setup Defaults
This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. PCI (Peripheral Component
Interconnect) is a system that allows I/O devices to operate at speeds nearing CPU’s
when they communicate with own special components.
All of options described in this section are important and technical and it is strongly
recommended that only experienced users could make any changes to the default
settings.
4.3.5.1 Plug and Play Aware O/S
Set this option to “Yes” if the operating system installed in the computer is Plug and Play-
aware. BIOS only detects and enables PnP ISA adapter cards that are required for system
boot. The Windows 95 operating system detects and enables all other PnP-aware adapter
cards. Windows 95 is PnP-aware. Set this option to “No” if the operating system (such as
DOS, OS/2, Windows 3.x) does not use PnP.
Note:
You must set this option correctly, or PnP-aware adapter cards installed in your
computer will not be configured properly.
