that retains these Power-On instructions; the motherboard battery (3V), the
Power Supply (5VSB), and the Power Supply (3.3V). While AC is not
supplying power, the motherboard uses the motherboard battery (3V). If AC
power is supplied and the Power Supply is not turned on, 5VSB from the Power
Supply is used. When the Power Supply is eventually turned on 3.3V from the
Power Supply will be used.
There are 3 options: “Former-Sts”, “On”, “Off”.

“Off” (default) Means always set CMOS to the “Off” status when AC
power is lost .

“On” Means always set CMOS to the “On” status when AC power is lost

“Former-Sts” Means to maintain the last status of the CMOS when AC power
is lost.

For example: If set to “Former-Sts” and AC power is lost when system is live,
then after AC power is restored, the system will automatically power on. If AC
power is lost when system is not live, system will remain powered off.

Reload Global Timer Event

Reload Global Timer Events are I/O events whose occurrence can prevent the system
from entering a power saving mode or can awaken the system from such a mode. In effect,
the system remains alert for anything, which occurs to a device, which is configured as
Enabled, even when the system is in a power down mode.

7 PnP/PCI Configurations

This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. PCI, or Personal Computer
Interconnect, is a system that allows I/O devices to operate at speeds nearing the speed of
the CPU itself uses when communicating with its own special components. This section
covers some very technical items and it is strongly recommended that only experienced
users should make any changes to the default settings.

Figure 7. PnP/PCI Configurations

Re se t Config urat io n Data

The system BIOS supports the PnP feature that requires the system to record which
resources are assigned and protects resources from conflict. Every peripheral device has
a node, which is called ESCD. This node records which resources are assigned to it.
The system needs to record and update ESCD to the memory locations. These
locations (4K) are reserved in the system BIOS. If the Disabled (default) option is chosen,
the system‘s ESCD will update only when the new configuration varies from the last one.
If the Enabled option is chosen, the system is forced to update ESCDs and then is
automatically set to the “Disabled” mode.

The above settings will be shown on the screen only if “Manual” is chosen for the
resources controlled by function.
Legacy is the term, which signifies that a resource is assigned to the ISA Bus and
provides non-PnP ISA add-on cards. PCI / ISA PnP signifies that a resource is assigned to
the PCI Bus or provides for ISA PnP add-on cards and peripherals.

The Choices: Disabled (default), Enabled.

P4TPT BIOS Manual

Resources Controlled By

By Choosing “Auto (ESCD)” (default), the system BIOS will detect the system resources
and automatically assign the relative IRQ and DMA channel for each peripheral. By
Choosing “Manual”, the user will need to assign IRQ & DMA for add-on cards. Be sure
that there are no IRQ/DMA and I/O port conflicts.

IRQ Re sources

This submenu will allow you to assign each system interrupt a type, depending on the
type of device using the interrupt. When you press the “Press Enter” tag, you will be
directed to a submenu that will allow you to configure the system interrupts. This is
only configurable when “Resources Controlled By” is set to “Manual”.

IRQ-3 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-4 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-5 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-7 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-9 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-10 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-11 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-12 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-14 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-15 assigned to PCI Device

PCI / VGA Palette Snoop

Choose Disabled or Enabled. Some graphic controllers that are not VGA compatible
take the output from a VGA controller and map it to their display as a way to provide boot
information and VGA compatibility.

However, the color information coming from the VGA controller is drawn from the
palette table inside the VGA controller to generate the proper colors, and the graphic
controller needs to know what is in the palette of the VGA controller. To do this, the
non-VGA graphic controller watches for the Write access to the VGA palette and
registers the snoop data. In PCI based systems, where the VGA controller is on the PCI
bus and a non-VGA graphic controller is on an ISA bus, the Write Access to the palette
will not show up on the ISA bus if the PCI VGA controller responds to the Write.

In this case, the PCI VGA controller should not respond to the Write, it should only snoop
the data and permit the access to be forwarded to the ISA bus. The non-VGA ISA
graphic controller can then snoop the data on the ISA bus. Unless you have the above
situation, you should disable this option.

Disabled (default) Disables the function.

Enabled Enables the function.
