Avoiding IRQ Assignment Conflicts
Problems can arise if two devices attempt to use the same interrupt request (IRQ) line. To avoid this type of conflict, check the documentation for the
default IRQ line setting for each installed device. Then consult Table 2 to configure the device for one of the available IRQ lines.
NOTES: Installed devices cannot share the same COM port address. The default address of your computer's serial port is COM1.
To view IRQ line assignments in the Microsoft® Windows® 95 and Windows 98 operating systems, click the Start button, point to Settings, and
click Control Panel. Double-click the System icon. Select the Device Manager tab, and then double-click Computer.
Table 2. IRQ Line Assignments
IRQ Line Assigned Device
IRQ0 Reserved; generated by the system timer
IRQ1 Reserved, generated by the keyboard controller
IRQ2 Cascade from the secondary interrupt controller
IRQ3 Available
IRQ4 Serial port; available if serial port is not configured for COM1 or COM3
IRQ5 Available
