2.4 Hardware Installation
2.4.1 PCI configuration
The PCI/PCIe/cPCI card is equipped with Plug and Play PCI con-
troller, it can request base addresses and interrupt according to
PCI standard. The system BIOS will install the system resources
based on the PCI cards’ configuration registers and system
parameters (which are set by system BIOS). Interrupt assignment
and memory usage (I/O port locations) of the PCI cards can be
assigned by system BIOS only. These system resource assign-
ments are done on an individual board basis. It is not recom-
mended to assign the system resource by any other methods.
2.4.2 PCI/PCI Express slot selection
The PCI/PCIe card can be inserted into any PCI/PCI Express slot
without any configuration for system resource. Please note that
the PCI/PCIe system board and slot must provide bus-mastering
capability to operate this board well.
