PCI/Plug and Play Setup

CBI/CGI Technical Reference

 

 

The Setup screen displays the system option:

PCI IDE BusMaster

Disabled

Available options are:

Disabled

Enabled

OffBoard PCI IDE Card

This option specifies the PCI expansion slot on the SBC where the off-board PCI IDE controller is installed, if any. If an off-board PCI IDE controller is used, the on-board IDE controller on the SBC is automatically disabled.

If Auto is selected, AMIBIOS automatically determines the correct setting for this option.

This option forces IRQ14 and IRQ15 to PCI slots on the PCI Local Bus. This is necessary to support non-compliant PCI IDE adapter cards.

If this option is set to Auto, the OffBoard PCI IDE Primary IRQ and OffBoard PCI IDE Secondary IRQ options may not be modified.

The Setup screen displays the system option:

OffBoard PCI IDE Card

Auto

Available options are:

Auto

Slot1

Slot2

Slot3

Slot4

Slot5

Slot6

OffBoard PCI IDE Primary IRQ/Secondary IRQ

These options specify the PCI interrupts used by the primary and secondary IDE channels on the off-board PCI IDE controller.

If the OffBoard PCI IDE Card option described above is set to Auto, these options are not available.

The Setup screen displays the system options:

 

OffBoard PCI IDE Primary IRQ

Disabled

OffBoard PCI IDE Secondary IRQ

Disabled
