2.5 Hardware Installation Outline
Hardware configuration
These PCI cards (or CompactPCI, Low Profile PCI cards) are
equipped with a Plug and Play PCI controller that requests
base addresses and interrupts according to PCI standard. The
system BIOS will install the system resource 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 a board-by-board basis. It is not recommended to
assign the system resource by any other methods.
PCI slot selection
The PCI and Low-Profile PCI cards can be inserted to any PCI
slot without any configuration for system resource. Compact-
PCI peripheral slots are marked with a circle on the backplane.
Please note that the PCI, CompactPCI, and Low-Profile PCI
system board must provide bus-mastering capability to operate
this board well.
