PCI Interrupt Request Routing

The IRQ, acronym of interrupt request line and pronounced I-R-Q, are hard-
ware lines over which devices can send interrupt signals to the microprocessor. The
PCI IRQ pins are typically connected to the PCI bus INT A# ~ INT D# pins as follows:
PCI Slot 1
PCI Slot 2
PCI Slot 3
Order 1 Order 2
INT A# INT B#
INT B# INT C#
INT C# INT D#
Hardware Setup
Order 3
INT C#
INT D#
INT A#
