PnP/PCI Configurations
Reset Configuration Data Disables/enables automatic reconfiguration.
The default is Disabled. Select Enabled to reset Extended System Configuration Data (ESCD) when you exit Setup, if you have installed a new add-on and the system reconfiguration has caused such a serious conflict that the OS cannot boot.
Resources Controlled By Allows you to select whether resources are
controlled automatically or manually:
• Auto (ESCD–Extended Storage Configuration Data)
•Manual
BIOS can automatically configure all the bootable and Plug-and-Play-compatible devices. If you choose Auto, you cannot select IRQ, DMA and memory base address fields since BIOS automatically assigns them.
IRQ Resources
• IRQ-3 assigned to
• IRQ-4 assigned to
•IRQ-5 assigned to
•IRQ-7 assigned to
•IRQ-9 assigned to
• IRQ-10 assigned to
• IRQ-11assigned to
• IRQ-12 assigned to
• IRQ-14 assigned to
• IRQ-15 assigned to
When resources are controlled manually, allows you to assign each system interrupt a type, depending on the type of device using the interrupt.
Legacy ISA for devices compliant with the original PC AT bus specification, PCI/ISA PnP for devices compliant with the Plug-and-Play standard whether designed for PCI or ISA bus architecture.

Recovering the Configuration Settings
Recovering the configuration settings established in the Computer Setup (F10) Utility requires that you first back up the settings before a recovery is needed.
The CMOS Save/Load utility can be found at under the Software & Driver Downloads for your specific model. Download the firmware files into a folder on a removable storage device. It is recommended that you save any modified computer configuration settings to a diskette, a USB flash media device, or a diskette-like device (a storage device set to emulate a diskette drive) and save the diskette or device for possible future use.
Backing up the CMOS
1. Make sure the computer to be backed up is turned on. Connect the removable storage to the computer.
2. Boot to DOS.
3. Type N:\folder\BIOS.exe SAVE:ABC001.DAT (where N is the drive letter of the removable storage) to save the CMOS setting to the removable storage device.
Restoring the CMOS
1. Make sure the target computer is turned on. Connect the removable storage to the target computer.

2. Boot to DOS.
3. Type N:\folder\BIOS.exe LOAD:ABC001.DAT (where N is the
Computer Setup (F10) Utility Guide www.hp.com 13
drive letter of the removable storage) to load the custom CMOS setting onto the target system.
