    Unlike the 8259 PIC, the I/O APIC interrupt priority is independent of the actual interrupt number. A major advantage of the I/O APIC found in the chipset of the conga-X945/XA945 is that it's able to provide more interrupts, a total of 24 to be exact. It must be mentioned that the APIC is not supported by all operating systems.

    1. The term 'AC power loss' stands for the state when the module looses the standby voltage on the 5V_SB pins. On congatec modules, the standby voltage is continuously monitored after the system is turned off. If after 30 seconds the standby voltage is no longer detected, then this is considered an AC power loss condition.
