PCI IDE IRQ Map to
This item defines the type of IDE disk controller
in use in your system. By default, Setup assumes
that your controller is an ISA device rather than a
PCI controller.
If you have equipped your system with a PCI
controller, changing this setting allows you to
specify which slot has the controller and which
PCI interrupt (A, B, C or D) is associated with the
connected hard drives.
Remember that this setting refers to the hard disk
drive itself, rather than individual partitions.
Since each IDE controller supports two separate
hard disk drives, you can select the INT# for each.
Note that the Primary has a lower interrupt than
the Secondary as described in “Slot x Using
INT#” above.
Selecting the PCI Auto setting allows the system
to automatically determine the configuration of
your IDE disk system.
Used MEM base addr
This item is used to select a base address for the
memory area used by any peripheral that requires
high memory.
The available settings are C800, CC00, D000,
D400, D800, DC00 and N/A.
