PCI IDE IRQ Map to
This items allows you to configure your system to the type of IDE disk controller in use.
By default, Setup assumes that your controller is an ISA device rather than a PCI control-
ler.
If you have equipped your system with a PCI controller, changing this allows you to
specify which slot has the controller and which PCI interrupt (A, B, C or D) is associated
with the connected hard drives.
Remember that this setting refers to the hard disk drive itself, rather than individual
partitions. Since each IDE controller supports two separate hard disk drives, you can
select the INT# for each. Again, you will note that the primary has a lower interrupt than
the secondary as described in "
Slot x Using INT#
" above.
Selecting "
PCI Auto
" allows the system to automatically determine how your IDE disk
system is configured.
