2. Assign an IRQ to the card. Refer to the tables below.
3. Install the software drivers for the expansion card.

IRQ assignments for the system motherboard
PCI slot 1
PCI slot 2
IEEE 1394
When using a PCI card on shared slots, ensure that the drivers support
"Share IRQ" or that the cards do not need IRQ assignments;
otherwise, conflicts will arise between the two PCI groups, making the
system unstable and the card inoperable.
