2.4 PCI Configuration
Plug and Play
With support for plug and play, the card requests an interrupt num-
ber via its PCI controller. The system BIOS responds with an inter-
rupt assignment based on the card information and on known
system parameters. These system parameters are determined by
the installed drivers and the hardware load seen by the system.
Configuration
The board configuration is done on a board-by-board basis for all
PCI boards in the system. Because configuration is controlled by
the system and software, there is no jumper setting required for
base address, DMA, and interrupt IRQ.
The configuration is subject to change with every boot of the sys-
tem as new boards are added or removed.
Troubleshooting
If your system doesn’t boot or if you experience erratic operation
with your PCI board in place, it is likely caused by an interrupt con-
flict. The BIOS Setup may be incorrectly configured. Consult the
BIOS documentation that comes with your system to solve this
problem.
