IRQ Resource Setup
IRQ 3/4/5/7/9/10/11/14/15
These items specify the bus where the specified IRQ line is used. The settings
determine if AMIBIOS should remove an IRQ from the pool of available IRQs passed
to devices that are configurable by the system BIOS. The available IRQ pool is
determined by reading the ESCD NVRAM. If more IRQs must be removed from the
IRQ pool, the end user can use these settings to reserve the IRQ by assigning an
[Reserved] setting to it. Onboard I/O is configured by AMIBIOS. All IRQs used by
onboard I/O are configured as [Available]. If all IRQs are set to [Reserved], and IRQ
14/15 are allocated to the onboard PCI IDE, IRQ 9 will still be available for PCI and
PnP devices.
