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.
http://www.hp.com
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.
