A data processing system such as a personal computer includes a plurality of expansion connectors for receiving adapter cards. A non-volatile memory stores programmable option select (POS) data that is stored when the system is configured. A Power On Self Test (POST) operation is performed during which adapters are checked to determine if any have been added, moved or removed, since a previous system configuration. If any have been so altered, the system may be placed in operation with all adapters enabled except for those which were altered.
L'invention est un système de traitement de données, tel qu'un ordinateur personnel, qui est doté d'une pluralité de connecteurs d'expansion servant à recevoir des cartes d'adaptation. Une mémoire non volatile stocke des données de sélection d'options programmables au moment de la configuration du système. Une opération de vérification automatique à la mise sous tension est effectuée durant laquelle les cartes d'adaptation sont examinées pour déterminer s'il y a eu parmi elles des additions, des déplacements ou des éliminations depuis la dernière configuration. Si tel est le cas, le système peut être mis en fonction, toutes les cartes d'adaptation étant validées, sauf celles qui ont fait l'objet d'une modification quelconque.
