Description
1800 A PCI adapter has requested a hardware interrupt that is not available.
Action:
1. Make sure that all ISA legacy adapters are set correctly in the
Configuration/Setup Utility program. If the hardware interrupt settings
are not correct, change and save the settings. Setting the resources used by
ISA legacy adapters to ISA Resource enables the Plug and Play function to
configure around the legacy adapters.
For background information on PCI, ISA, Plug and Play, and legacy
(non-Plug and Play) adapters, refer to Chapter 5, “Installing options” on
page 67. For information about required interrupt resource settings for ISA
legacy adapters, refer to the documentation that comes with these adapters.
For instructions on using the Configuration/Setup Utility program, see
Chapter 3, “Using the Configuration/Setup Utility Program” on page 17.
2. Make sure that switches on all ISA legacy adapters are set correctly. For
information about switch settings, refer to the documentation that comes
with the ISA legacy adapters.
3. If all hardware interrupts are being used by ISA legacy adapters, you might
need to remove an ISA legacy adapter to make an interrupt available to the
PCI adapter you want to install. For instructions on removing adapters, see
Chapter 5, “Installing options” on page 67.
Note: If you remove an ISA legacy adapter, set the hardware interrupt
used by the removed adapter to Available before installing another
adapter.
4. If you have other PCI or Plug and Play adapters installed, you might need
to remove one of these adapters to make an interrupt available to the PCI
adapter you want to install.
If the problem cannot be isolated and corrected, have the computer serviced.
