PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) Slots: PCI1/ PCI2

The PCI slots allow you to insert the expansion cards to meet your needs.
W hen adding or removing expansion cards, make sure that you unplug the power

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 X# ~ INT Z# pins as follows:
PCI Slot 1
PCI Slot 2
2-30
Order 1 Order 2
INT Y# INT Z#
INT Z# INT W#
PCI Slots
Order 3 Order 4
INT W# INT X#
INT X# INT Y#
