Interrupts
Important
If you disable an 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 BIOS option does not make the interrupt available.
The following table reflects a typical configuration, but you can change these interrupts. Use this information to determine how to program each interrupt.
