Expansion Cards 

Procedure For Expansion Card Installation 

1.  Read  the  documentation  for  your  expansion  card  and  make  any  necessary 

hardware or software setting for your expansion card such as jumpers. 

2. 

Remove your computer’s cover and the bracket plate on the slot you intend to use. 

3. 

Align the card’s connectors and press firmly. 

4.  Secure the card on the slot with the screen you remove above. 
5. 

Replace the computer system’s cover. 

6.  Set up the BIOS if necessary. 
7.  Install the necessary software driver for your expansion card.   

2-5-2 Assigning IRQs For Expansion Card 

Some expansion cards need an IRQ to operate.    Generally, an IRQ must exclusively 
assign  to  one  use.    In  a  standard  design,  there  are  16  IRQs  available  but  most  of 
them are already in use. 

Standard Interrupt Assignments 

IRQ 

Priority 

Standard function 

N/A 

System Timer 

N/A 

Keyboard Controller 

N/A 

Programmable Interrupt 

3 * 

Communications Port (COM2) 

4 *

7 * 

Printer Port (LPT1) 

N/A 

System CMOS/Real Time Clock 

9 * 

10 

ACPI Mode when enabled 

10 * 

IRQ Holder for PCI Steering 

11 * 

IRQ Holder for PCI Steering 

12 * 

PS/2 Compatible Mouse Port 

13 

N/A 

Numeric Data Processor 

14 * 

Primary IDE Channel 

15 * 

Secondary IDE Channel 

* These IRQs are usually available for ISA or PCI devices. 

NOTE! 

If using PCI cards on shared slots, make sure that the drivers support “Shared 
IRQ” or that the cards don’t need IRQ assignments. Conflicts will arise between the 
two PCI groups that will make the system unstable or cards inoperable. 

 
Expansion Slot   

One PCI-Express2.0 x16@16 lane graphic slot offer 8Gbyte/sec data transfer rate at 
each  relative  direction  and  up  to  16Gbyte/sec  concurrent  bandwidth  at  full  speed. 
Fully  compliant  to  the

  PCI  Express  Base  Specification  revision2.0

,  support  PCI 

Express VGA card, and other PCI Express device. Two 32-bit PCI slots guarantee the 
rich connectivity for the I/O of peripherals.
