Notes on the allocation of resources
The upper two slots provide non-shared interrupts for WinAC cards.
If the new expansion module requires exclusive resources, disable functions on the
motherboard as required. You can disable functions in BIOS setup in the "Peripheral
Configuration" submenu of the "Advanced" menu.
For information on allocated resources, refer to the "System resources" section in the
"Detailed descriptions" chapter. For additional information, refer to the documentation of the
BIOS.
