Chapter 4: BIOS
This option forces IRQ14 and IRQ15 to a PCI slot on the PCI local bus.
This is necessary to support non-compliant ISA IDE controller adapter
cards. If an offboard PCI IDE controller adapter card is installed in the
computer, you must also set the Offboard PCI IDE Primary IRQ and
Offboard PCI IDE Secondary IRQ options.
Offboard PCI IDE Primary IRQ
Offboard PCI IDE Secondary IRQ
These options specify the PCI interrupt used by the primary (or secondary)
IDE channel on the offboard PCI IDE controller. The settings are Disabled ,
Hardwired , INTA , INTB , INTC , or INTD .
PCI Slot1 IRQ Priority
PCI Slot2 IRQ Priority
PCI Slot3 IRQ Priority
PCI Slot4 IRQ Priority
Use these options to specify the IRQ priority for PCI devices installed in
the PCI expansion slots. The settings are Auto, (IRQ) 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10,
11, 12 and 14 in priority order.
DMA Channel 0
DMA Channel 1
DMA Channel 3
DMA Channel 5
DMA Channel 6
DMA Channel 7
These DMA channels control the data transfers between the I/O devices and
the system memory. The chipset allows the BIOS to choose which channels
to do the job. The settings are PnP or ISA/EISA.
IRQ3
IRQ4
IRQ5
IRQ7
IRQ9
IRQ10
IRQ11
IRQ14
IRQ15
These options specify which bus the specified IRQ line is used on and allow
you to reserve IRQs for legacy ISA adapter cards. If more IRQs must be
4-17
