PNP and PCI Setup
This “PNP and PCI Setup” option configures the PCI bus slots. All PCI bus slots on
the system use INTA#, thus all installed PCI cards must be set to this value.
NOTE: SETUP Defaults are noted in parenthesis next to each function heading.
Details of PNP and PCI Setup
[Slot Interrupts] (Auto)
The first four fields on the screen set how IRQ use is determined for each PCI slot.
Slot 1 (Right) is nearest the memory sockets. The default setting for each field is
Auto, which uses auto-routing to determine IRQ use. The other options are manual
settings of NA, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, or 15 for each slot.
PCI Latency Timer (32 PCI Clock)
"32 PCI Clock" enables maximum PCI performance for this motherboard.
IRQ xx Used By ISA (No/ICU)
These fields indicate whether or not the displayed IRQ for each field is being used
by a Legacy (non-PnP) ISA card. Two options are available: No/ICU and Yes. The
first option, the default value, indicates either that the displayed IRQ is not used or
an ISA Configuration Utility (ICU) is being used to determine if an ISA card is
using that IRQ. If you install a Legacy ISA card that requires a unique IRQ, and you
are not using an ICU, you must set the field for that IRQ to Yes. For example: If you
install a Legacy ISA card that requires IRQ 10, then set IRQ10 Used By ISA to Yes.
