ISA Legacy Resources
Options Descriptions
DMA Resources Use DMA Resources to allocate direct memory access (DMA)
channels for an adapter. The menu lists the channel
assignments for DMA, which allows I/O devices to transfer
data to and from memory. You allocate DMA channels to an
adapter by selecting the ISA Resource setting for an available
channel.
Be sure to read the documentation that comes with your
adapter. You might need to make changes to the adapter to
accommodate the selections you make for DMA Resources. For
example, you might have to move jumpers or switches on the
adapter, or make changes to the software that comes with the
adapter.
Interrupt Resources Use Interrupt Resources to allocate interrupt requests (IRQs) for
an adapter. The menu lists the system IRQs and their
functions. You allocate IRQs to an adapter by selecting the ISA
Resource setting for an available IRQ.
Be sure to read the documentation that comes with your
adapter. You might need to make changes to the adapter to
accommodate the selections you make for Interrupt Resources.
For example, you might have to move jumpers or switches on
the adapter, or make changes to the software that comes with
the adapter.
