SUPER P6DNF/P6SNF User's Manual
This option forces IRQ14 and IRQ15 to a PCI slot on the PCI local
bus. This is necessary to support non-compliant ISA IDE controller
adapter cards. If an offboard PCI IDE controller adapter card is
installed in the computer, you must also set the Offboard PCI IDE
Primary IRQ and Offboard PCI IDE Secondary IRQ options.
Offboard PCI IDE Primary IRQ
Offboard PCI IDE Secondary IRQ
These options specify the PCI interrupt used by the primary (or sec-
ondary) IDE channel on the offboard PCI IDE controller. The set-
tings are Disabled, Hardwired, INTA, INTB, INTC, or INTD. The
Optimal and Fail-Safe default settings are Disabled.
IRQ3
IRQ4
IRQ5
IRQ7
IRQ9
IRQ10
IRQ11
IRQ14
IRQ15
These options specify which bus the specified IRQ line is used on
and allow you to reserve IRQs for legacy ISA adapter cards. If more
IRQs must be removed from the pool, the end user can use these
options to reserve the IRQ by assigning an ISA/EISA setting to it.
Onboard I/O is configured by AMIBIOS. All IRQs used by onboard I/
O are configured as PCI/PnP.
IRQ14 and 15 will not be available if the onboard PCI IDE is en-
abled. If all IRQs are set to ISA/EISA and IRQ14 and 15 are allo-
cated to the onboard PCI IDE, IRQ 9 will still be available for PCI
and PnP devices. This is because at least one IRQ must be avail-
able for PCI and PnP devices.
