PCI Installation Tips
Some common PCI tips are listed here.
T
Reserve interrupts (IRQs) and/or memory addresses
specifically for ISA adapters. This prevents PCI cards
from trying to use the same settings ISA cards are using.
T
Certain drivers may require interrupts that are not shared
with other PCI drivers. For certain drivers, it may be
necessary to alter settings so that interrupts are not shared.
BIOS User's Information
This section describes the various screen messages and beep
codes of the system BIOS. The BIOS indicates errors by
writing an error code to the PS/2-standard logging area in the
Extended BIOS Data Area, and by displaying a message on
the screen, which is sometimes preceded by the POST Error
Code. The error code will also be logged to the Event
Logging area.
Error and Status Messages
The "BIOS Messages" table on the following page is an
alphabetic list of error and status messages that BIOS
generates and an explanation of each message. Many of the
messages refer to the BIOS Setup utility. For more
information about Setup, refer to Chapter 3, "Configuring the
System."
