2.4 PCI Configuration
1. Plug and Play:
As a plug and play component, the card requests an interrupt
number via its PCI controller. The system BIOS responds with
an interrupt 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.
2. Configuration:
The board configuration is done on a board-by-board basis for
all PCI boards on your system. Because configuration is con-
trolled 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.
3. Troubleshooting:
If your system doesn’t boot or if you experience erratic opera-
tion with your PCI board in place, it’s likely caused by an inter-
rupt con-flict (perhaps the BIOS Setup is incorrectly
configured). In general, the solution, once you determine it is
not a simple oversight, is to consult the BIOS documentation
that comes with your system.
