PCI IDE Bus Mastering
When set to Disabled, this parameter deactivates the bus mastering capability of the PCI IDE
controller. The default setting is Enabled.
PCI IDE Card
PCI adapter cards are designed so the BIOS can configure them during boot up, regardless of
location. However, some PCI cards (especially PCI IDE cards) do not comply with the PCI
specification. If you install a noncompliant PCI IDE card, you should set this parameter to
indicate the slot in which the card is located. The settings are Slot 1, Slot 2, Slot 3, or Auto
(default). PCI IDE boards are not supported in PCI slots 4 through 12.
PCI IDE IRQ14 Connected to
When the PCI IDE Card parameter is used to select a slot number, this parameter becomes
active. The options are Disabled (default), INTA, INTB, INTC, INTD, and Hardwired.
PCI IDE IRQ15 Connected to
When the PCI IDE Card parameter is used to select a slot number, this parameter is active.
The options are Disabled (default), INTA, INTB, INTC, INTD, and Hardwired.
Use ESCD for PCI IRQ Assignment
This parameter is set to No by default. During system boot, PCI cards are assigned to the
IRQ which they last used when the system was running, or to an IRQ defined by a PCI slot x
IRQ Priority parameter. When set to Yes, the system assigns IRQs regardless of the IRQ the
card used previously, and the PCI slot x IRQ Priority parameters are not available.
If you install PCI cards that require a dedicated IRQ (that is, non-compliant PCI cards), the
parameter must be set to No. You may also need to reserve an IRQ for the card using a PCI
Slot x IRQ Priority parameter.
PCI Slot x IRQ Priority
The default setting for this parameter is Auto, so the PCI cards are assigned to the IRQ
which they last used when the system was running. Use these parameters to assign specific
IRQs for non-compliant PCI cards, PC Cards, and PnP cards. The other choices for each
parameter are IRQ 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 14, and 15. Documentation delivered with the card
should state which IRQ to use.
These parameters are not available if the Use ESCD for PCI IRQ Assignment parameter is
set to Yes.
