PCI Installation Tips
Some common PCI tips are listed here.
„
Reserve interrupts (IRQs) and/or memory addresses specifically for
ISA adapters. This prevents PCI cards from trying to use the same
settings ISA cards are using. Use the SSU to keep track of ISA
adapter resources.
„
Certain drivers may require interrupts that are not shared with other
PCI drivers. The SSU can be used to adjust the interrupt numbers for
PCI devices. For certain drivers, it may be necessary to alter settings
so that interrupts are not shared.
BIOS User’s Information
This section describes the various screen messages of the system BIOS.
The BIOS indicates errors by writing an error code to the PS/2-
standard logging area in the Extended BIOS Data Area, and by
displaying a message on the screen, which is sometimes preceded by
the POST Error Code. The error code will also be logged to the Event
Logging area.
Error and Status Messages
“BIOS Messages” table is an alphabetic list of error and status
messages that BIOS generates and an explanation of each message.
Many of the messages refer to the built in Setup program. For more
information about Setup, refer to the “Configuring Your System”
chapter.
