Interrupt Requests
The factory-set interrupt requests (IRQs) are listed below. Find an appropriate one to
install an optional device.
* These IRQs are usually available for ISA or PCI devices
Caution
When using PCI cards on shared slots, ensure that the drivers
support “Share IRQ” or that the cards do not need IRQ assign-
ments.
Otherwise, conflicts will arise between the two PCI groups,
making the system unstable and the card inoperable.
