2.4 Hardware Installation
PCI configuration
The PCI cards (or CompactPCI cards) are equipped with Plug and Play PCI
controller, it can request base addresses and interrupt according to PCI
standard. The system BIOS will install the system resources based on the
PCI cards’ configuration registers and system parameters (which are set by
system BIOS). Interrupt assignment and memory usage (I/O port locations)
of the PCI cards can be assigned by system BIOS only. These system
resource assignments are done on an individual board basis. It is not
recommended to assign the system resource by any other methods.
PCI slot selection
The PCI card can be inserted into any PCI slot without any configuration for
system resource. Please note that the PCI system board and slot must
provide bus-mastering capability to operate this board well.
