Interrupts
The following table suggests a logical interrupt mapping of interrupt sources. It reflects a typical configuration, but you can change these interrupts. Use the information to determine how to program each interrupt. The actual interrupt map is defined using configuration registers in the I/O controller. I/O Redirection Registers in the I/O APIC are provided for each interrupt signal. The signals define hardware interrupt signal characteristics for APIC messages sent to local APIC(s).
Important | If you disable either IDE controller to free the interrupt for |
| that controller, you must physically unplug the IDE cable |
| from the system board. Simply disabling the drive by |
| configuring the SSU option does not make the interrupt |
| available. |
