Abit IS7-V2, IS7-M, IS7-G, IS7-E2V, IS7-E2G user manual Agp Lan

BIOS Setup 3-23

[Enabled]: Automatically assign an IRQ for the VGA card installed.

[Disabled]: The IRQ that was previously occupied by the VGA card will be available for new device.

Allocate IRQ To USB: (For IS7-G, IS7, IS7-E, and IS7-M only)

This item assigns an IRQ for the USB device connected.

[Enabled]: Automatically assign an IRQ for the USB device connected.

[Disabled]: The IRQ that was previously occupied by the USB device connected will be available for new device.

PCI Latency Timer(CLK):

This item controls how long each PCI device can hold the bus before another takes over. When set to higher values, every PCI device can conduct transactions for a longer time and thus improve the effective PCI bandwidth. For better PCI performance, you should set the item to higher values.

PIRQ_0 Use IRQ No. ~ PIRQ_7 Use IRQ No.:

This item specifies the IRQ number manually or automatically for the devices installed on PCI slots.

For the relations between the hardware layout of PIRQ (the signals from the ICH chipset), INT# (means PCI slot IRQ signals) and devices, please refer to the table below:

Signals	AGP	LAN	PCI-1	PCI-2	PCI-3	PCI-4	PCI-5	IEEE-	SATA
								1394
									(IS7-G)
								(IS7-G, IS7)
PIRQ_0 Assignment	INT A		INT D
PIRQ_1 Assignment	INT B		INT A					INT A
PIRQ_2 Assignment		INT A	INT B
PIRQ_3 Assignment			INT C						INT A
PIRQ_4 Assignment				INT A	INT D	INT C	INT B
PIRQ_5 Assignment				INT B	INT A	INT D	INT C
PIRQ_6 Assignment				INT C	INT B	INT A	INT D
PIRQ_7 Assignment				INT D	INT C	INT B	INT A

NOTE:

•PCI slot 1 shares IRQ signals with IEEE-1394. (IS7-G, IS7).

•If you want to install two PCI cards into those PCI slots that share IRQ with one another at the same time, you must make sure that your OS and PCI devices’ driver supports the IRQ sharing function.
