BIOS Settings - PCI / PnP Configuration

The settings in this section deal specifically with the PCI bus and Plug and Play (PnP) settings. PCs that do not have a PCI bus will of course not have this section at all; older buses such as the VLB did not have the features that this section of settings controls. The PCI bus for the most part takes care of itself, but the settings in this section can be used when particular behavior by the bus or expansion cards needs to be addressed.

Warning: This section contains many advanced settings that in the vast majority of cases you do not need to change. For most users, using some form of the provided automatic configuration setting is highly recommended.
