Checking for address and interrupt conflicts
•
It is necessary to ensure that the I/O and memory
addresses reserved for the graphics board are not used
by other hardware devices.
•
The integrated on-board VGA controller of your Fire
GL 8700 uses the following addresses (hex):
I/O Address:
Standard VGA I/O: 3B0-3DF
Memory Addresses:
Video RAM:
A000-BFFF
Video ROM:
C000-C7FF
Note:
You cannot change the addresses of your Fire GL
8700. In case of an address conflict, try to modify the I/O
address of the add-on card that causes the conflict.
Resolving Interrupt Conflicts
To support the special graphics processor on the Fire GL 8700
the system BIOS should automatically assign a system interrupt
to the AGP slot where the card is installed. However, there may
be problems if your graphics card does not receive an interrupt
or a system interrupt is used for more than one device. In case
of problems check the system configuration utility of your
operating system for the interrupt assignments.
