Table 3-1. Shared IRQs

PCI-32 #1 shares an IRQ with the onboard LAN and AGP

PCI-32 #2 shares an IRQ with AC97 and MC97

PCI-32 #3 shares an IRQ with P64H and two PCI-64 slots

PCI-32 #4 shares an IRQ with USB

device(s)?

Answer: The 80-wire/40-pin ATA66/100 IDE cable that came with your

system has two connectors to support two drives.  This special cable must

be used to take advantage of the speed the ATA66/100 technology offers.

Connect the blue connector to the onboard IDE header and the other

connector(s) to your hard drive(s).  Consult the documentation that came

with your disk drive for details on actual jumper locations and settings.

Question: Why am I getting the message "Pre-Boot Agent Failed"

on the top left of my screen during system boot-up?

Answer: This message will be displayed when the "Console Redirection"

setting in BIOS is either 1) disabled or 2) enabled and there is no modem

cable hooked up to the system.  Note that this is not an error message, it is

just to let users that use console redirection know if their connection is

working.  See the "Console Redirection" setting in the Advanced BIOS Set-

tings section of BIOS for more information.

PCI-32 #1 shares an IRQ with the onboard LAN

PCI-32 #2 shares an IRQ with AC97 and MC97

PCI-32 #3 shares an IRQ with P64H and two PCI-64 slots

PCI-32 #4 shares an IRQ with USB

AGP has a dedicated IRQ
