PCI/Plug and Play Setup

 

 

Available options are:

Disabled

INTA

INTB

INTC

INTD

Hardwired

DMA Channels 0, 1, 3, 5, 6 and 7

These options allow you to specify the bus type used by each DMA channel.

The Setup screen displays the system option:

DMA Channel #

PnP

where # is the DMA Channel number.

Available options are:

PnP

ISA/EISA

IRQ5/IRQ9/IRQ10/IRQ11/IRQ15

These options indicate whether or not the specified interrupt request (IRQ) is available for use by the system for PCI/Plug and Play features or is reserved for use by option cards on the ISA Bus. This allows you to specify IRQs for use by legacy ISA adapter cards.

The IRQ setup options indicate whether AMIBIOS should remove an IRQ from the pool of available IRQs passed to BIOS configurable devices. The available IRQ pool is deter- mined by reading the ESCD NVRAM. If more IRQs must be removed from the pool, you can set the IRQ option to ISA/EISA. On-board I/O is configurable by AMIBIOS; the IRQs used by on-board I/O are configured as PCI/PnP.

The Setup screen displays the system option:

IRQ#PCI/PnP

where # is the number of the interrupt request (IRQ) available to the option specified (PCI or ISA).

Available options:

PCI/PnP

ISA/EISA

NOTE: If the OnBoard IDE option on the Peripheral Setup screen is set to Secondary or Both, IRQ15 is assigned by the system and is not available to the user.
