Memory map

Interrupts

The following table reflects a typical configuration, but you can change these interrupts.
Use this information to determine how to program each interrupt. The actual interrupt
map is defined using configuration registers in the ICH5-R (I/O controller). I/O Redirection
Registers in the I/O APIC are provided for each interrupt signal. The signals define hardware
interrupt signal characteristics for APIC messages sent to local APIC(s).

Important

If you disable an IDE controller to free the interrupt for that controller,
you must physically unplug the IDE cable from the system board.
Simply disabling the drive by configuring the BIOS option does not
make the interrupt available.
