PCI Interrupt Request Routing
The IRQ, acronym of interrupt request line and pronounced I-R-Q, are hardware lines
over which devices can send interrupt signals to the microprocessor. The PCI IRQ
pins are typically connected to the PCI bus pins as follows:
DEVICE
ICH INT Pin
IDSEL
CLOCK
REQ / GNT
PCI Slot 1
INT# F/G/H/E
AD21
CK_PCI 0
REQ#1/ GNT#1
PCI Slot 2
INT# G/H/E/F
AD22
CK_PCI 1
REQ#2/ GNT#2
PCI Slot 3
INT# H/E/F/G
AD23
CK_PCI 2
REQ#3/ GNT#3
VGA
INT# A
AD16
CK_VGA
REQ#0/ GNT#0
