You can select which INT# is associated with each PCI slot and which conventional
IRQ is associated with one of the two available INT#s.
A setting of NA means the IRQ has been assigned to the ISA bus and is not available to
any PCI slot.
PCI IRQ Activated by
This item sets the method by which the PCI bus recognizes that an IRQ service is being
requested by a device. Under all circumstances, you should retain the default
configuration unless advised otherwise by Multi-Tech.
Choices are Level (default) and Edge.
PCI IDE IRQ Map to
This allows you to configure your system to the type of IDE disk controller in use. By
default, Setup assumes that your controller is an ISA (Industry Standard Architecture)
device rather than a PCI controller.
If you have equipped your system with a PCI controller, changing this allows you to
specify which slot has the controller and which PCI interrupt (A, B, C, or D) is
associated with the connected hard disks.
Remember that this setting refers to the hard disk drive itself, rather than individual
partitions. Since each IDE controller supports two separate hard disks, you can select
the INT# for each. Again, you will note that the primary has a lower interrupt than the
secondary as described in Slot x Using INT# above.
Selecting PCI-AUTO allows the system to automatically determine how your IDE disk
system is configured.
