PCI Interrupt Request Routing

The IRQ, abbreviation of interrupt request line and pronounced I-R-Q, are hardware lines over which devices can send interrupt signals to the microprocessor. The “AGP/PCI/USB/AC’97 codec” IRQ pins are typically connected to the PCI bus INTA#-INTH# pins as follows:

 

Order 1

Order 2

Order 3

Order 4

 

 

 

 

 

AGP

INT A#

INT B#

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PCI Slot 1

INT A#

INT B#

INT C#

INT D#

 

 

 

 

 

PCI Slot 2

INT B#

INT C#

INT D#

INT A#

 

 

 

 

 

PCI Slot 3

INT C#

INT D#

INT A#

INT B#

 

 

 

 

 

USB-1

INT D#

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

USB-2

INT H#

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

AC97

INT B#

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

AGP & PCI Slot 1 shared.

PCI Slot 2 & AC97 shared.
