PCI Configuration

Slot 1, Slot 2, Slot 3, Slot 4/Audio IRQ [Auto]

Your motherboard may have between 2 and 5 PCI slots depending on the
chipset. Each PCI must have a unique IRQ number to operate. Make sure
you do not choose an IRQ number used by another device. Configuration
options: [Auto] [NA] [3] [4] [5] [7] [9] [10] [11] [12] [14] [15]

PCI/VGA Palette Snoop [Disabled]

Some display cards that are nonstandard VGA such as graphics accelera-
tors or MPEG Video Cards may not show colors properly. The setting [En-
abled] should correct this problem. Otherwise, leave this on the setup de-
fault setting of [Disabled]. Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]

PCI Latency Timer [32]

Leave on default setting for best performance vs. stability.

Symbios SCSI BIOS [Auto]

[Auto] allows the BIOS to detect whether you have a Symbios SCSI
card. If detected, the onboard Symbios BIOS will be enabled; if not, it
will be disabled and the external Symbios SCSI card’s own BIOS can
be used instead. NOTE: If your Symbios SCSI card does not have a
BIOS, the Symbios SCSI card will not function. Configuration options:
[Auto] [Disabled]

USB Function [Disabled]

The USB ports can be activated or deactivated using this field. Configuration op-
tions: [Disabled] [Enabled]
