Chapter 3: Troubleshooting
Question: Why can't I turn off the power using the momentary
power on/off switch?
Answer: The instant power off function is controlled in BIOS by the Power Button
Mode setting. When the On/Off feature is enabled, the motherboard will have
instant off capabilities as long as the BIOS has control of the system. When the
Standby or Suspend feature is enabled or when the BIOS is not in control such
as during memory count (the first screen that appears when the system is turned
on), the momentary on/off switch must be held for more than four seconds to shut
down the system. This feature is required to implement the ACPI features on the
motherboard.
Question: I see some of my PCI devices sharing IRQs, but the sys-
tem seems to be fine.
Is this correct or not?
Answer: Some PCI Bus Mastering devices can share IRQs without perfor-
mance penalties. These devices are designed to work correctly while shar-
ing IRQs. See Table 3-1, below, for details on shared IRQs.
Table 3-1. IRQ Assignments
PCI 1 has a dedicated IRQ (does not share)
PCI 2 has a dedicated IRQ (does not share)
PCI 3 shares an IRQ with the onboard SCSI controller
PCI 4 has a dedicated IRQ (does not share)
PCI 5 has a dedicated IRQ (does not share)
