Figure 19 — Advanced menu.

I/O Device Configuration Sub-Menu

This option is used to configure the I/O addresses, interrupts, and modes of certain configurable
I/O devices.

Installed OS Win 95

If Win 95, this option informs the System BIOS that the operating system that will be booted
supports plug-and-play. This forces the plug-and-play portion of the System BIOS to only con-
figure baseboard devices and those peripherals that are necessary for booting (display, hard disk,
etc.), the rest being left to the operating system to configure. The default is Win 95.

Reset Configuration Data

If enabled, this option clears the Extended System Configuration Data (ESCD) block residing in
the FBD. This is necessary the first time a system is turned on or if the ESCD becomes corrupt-
ed. The default is No. This option is automatically reset to No after the ESCD is cleared.

Large Disk Access Mode

If you are using a hard disk larger than 528 MB and are running MS-DOS

®

, then set this selec-

tion to DOS. If you are using a different operating system, then set it to Other. When set to DOS,
the System BIOS will perform cylinder/head translation, if the drive is configured in Setup to
have more than 1024 cylinders. This allows access to hard disks up to 8 GB (1024C x 255H x
63S) in size without special drivers or LBA. The default is DOS.
