PCI to ISA Bus Interrupt Mapping
The ISA bridge (Intel 82371SB) provides the sixteen conventional ISA interrupts, plus four interrupt
request pins for PCI peripheral interrupts (PIRQ0 through PIRQ3). For PC-AT architecture
compatibility reasons, the PCI interrupts are routed to the ISA interrupts within the ISA bridge. The
assertion of a PCI interrupt concludes in an ISA interrupt being asserted.
Bit 7 of each PIRQ registers enable (Low) or disable (High) the routing of the PIRQ to an ISA
interrupt. The lowest four bits (3:0) of each PIRQ register determines to which ISA interrupt the
PIRQ will be routed. The PIRQs can be mapped to the following ISA interrupts: IRQ 5, 9, 10, 11,
and 15.
Each PCI slot on the riser card has four available interrupt lines: INTA, INTB, INTC, and INTD.
These are connected to the PCI interrupts, PIRQ0 through PIRQ3, as shown below:

ISA Bus
The ISA slots on the MSMT463 riser card accommodate ISA based option boards and a 16-bit wide
expansion bus. The ISA bus interrupt (IRQ) assignments are defined below.

The spare interrupts listed above may be assigned to PCI and ISA devices. When you add a PCI
device to the system, the interrupt will be automatically assigned by the system BIOS. However, at
least one interrupt must be available for the PCI bus. For increased performance, one interrupt should
be left available for each PCI based controller used in the system. When you add a ISA board, you
must assign the interrupt using the System Configuration Utility and jumpers on the option board.
The Sound Controller can be configured for either IRQs 5, 7, 9, 11, 12, or 15. The MIDI Port can be
configured for either IRQs 9, 10, 11, 15, or no interrupt, in which case it will act as a write-only
device.
