7.2Interrupt Routing for Devices behind a Bridge
Given the legacy interrupt sharing scheme shown in Table 23, to get the best legacy interrupt performance (by reducing interrupt sharing), adapter boards must select the appropriate INTA#– INTD# input pin to use on each PCI bus segment. The chosen interrupt input also imposes a PCI device number requirement for the interrupt source as shown in Table 24.

| NOTES: |
|
|
1.Device number 0 is reserved for the bridge and must not be assigned to secondary devices.
2.AD[27:24], which correspond to devices[11:8], must not be used for IDSEL# connections, because these signals are used when accessing the extended configuration space in the bridge from the secondary bus.
