Resolving Hardware Conflicts

This appendix provides you with information on the hardware settings of the IDE CD-ROM interface card. It shows you how to change the Base I/O address and IRQ line if conflicts occur between the IDE CD-ROM interface card and other devices.

To resolve hardware conflicts between your audio card and other devices, read the documentation that comes with your audio card.

I/O Addresses

The interface card’s I/O addresses are the addresses used by your computer’s microprocessor to distinguish the IDE CD-ROM interface card from other peripheral devices in your system when sending or receiving data. The base I/O addresses and their I/O address ranges are tabulated below.

Table B-1: I/O addresses for IDE port.

IDE Port	Base I/O Address	I/O Address Range

Secondary	170H	170H to 177H, 376H to 377H

Tertiary	1E8H (Default)	1E8H to 1EFH

Quaternary	168H	168H to 16FH
