PnP/PCI Configurations
BIOS Setup
PNP OS Installed
When set to [Yes], BIOS will only initialize the PnP cards used for booting (VGA,
IDE, SCSI). The rest of the cards will be initialized by the PnP operating system
like Windows 98. When set to [No], BIOS will initialize all the PnP cards. So,
select [Yes] if your operating system is Plug & Play aware.
Reset Configuration Data
The ESCD (Extended System Configuration Data) NVRAM (Non-volatile Random
Access Memory) is where the BIOS stores resource information for both PNP
and non-PNP devices in a bit string format. When the item is set to [Enabled], the
system will reset ESCD NVRAM right after the system is booted up and then set
the setting of the item back to [Disabled] automatically.
Resources Controlled By
The Award Plug and Play BIOS has the capacity to automatically configure all of
the boot and Plug and Play compatible devices. However, this capability means
absolutely nothing unless you are using a Plug and Play operating system such
as Windows® 98/2000. If you set this field to [Manual], choose specific resources by going into each sub-menu that follows this field.
IRQ Resources
Press <Enter> to enter the sub-menu.
IRQ 3/4/5/7/9/10/11/14/15
These items specify the bus where the specified IRQ line is used.
The settings determine if BIOS should remove an IRQ from the pool of available IRQs passed to devices that are configurable by the system BIOS. The
available IRQ pool is determined by reading the ESCD NVRAM. If more IRQs
3-19
Page 56
MS-9802 Mainboard
must be removed from the IRQ pool, the end user can use these settings to
reserve the IRQ by assigning an [Reserved] setting to it. Onboard I/O is
configured by BIOS. All IRQs used by onboard I/O are configured as
[Available]. If all IRQs are set to [Reserved], and IRQ 14/15 are allocated to
the onboard PCI IDE, IRQ 9 will still be available for PCI and PnP devices.
Important
IRQ (Interrupt Request) lines are system resources allocated to I/O devices.
When an I/O device needs to gain attention of the operating system, it signals
this by causing an IRQ to occur. After receiving the signal, when the operating
system is ready, the system will interrupt itself and perform the service required by the I/O device.

1, 2 or 3 Reseat the memory, or replace with known good modules.
4-7, 9-11 Fatal error indicating a serious problem with the system. Consult your system
manufacturer. Before declaring the motherboard beyond all hope, eliminate the
possibility of interference by a malfunctioning add-in card. Remove all expansion
cards except the video adapter.
‧ If beep codes are generated when all other expansion cards are absent, consult
your system manufacturer’s technical support. ‧ If beep codes are not generated when all other expansion cards are absent, one
of the add-in cards is causing the malfunction. Insert the cards back into the
system one at a time until the problem happens again. This will reveal the
malfunctioning card.

If the system video adapter is an add-in card, replace or reseat the video adapter.
If the video adapter is an integrated part of the system board, the board may be
faulty.
