Interrupt Request Table for this Motherboard
Interrupt requests are shared as shown by the following table:
PCI slot 1
PCI slot 2
PCI slot 3
Onboard VGA
Onboard LAN
Onboard USB controller
Onboard Audio
AMR
IMPORTANT:
If using PCI cards on shared slots, make sure that the drivers sup-
port "Share IRQ" or that the cards do not need IRQ assignments. Conflicts will arise
between the two PCI groups that will make the system unstable or cards inoperable.
