Reference 45 Checking for address and interrupt conflicts • It is necessary to ensure that the I/O and memory addresses reserved for the graphics board are not used by other hardware devices. • The integrated on-board VGA controller of your FireGL card uses the following addresses (hex): I/O Address: Standard VGA I/O: 3B0-3DF Memory Addresses: Video RAM: A000-BFFF Video ROM: C000-C7FF Note: You cannot change the addresses of your FireGL card. In case of an address conflict, try to modify the I/O address of the add-on card that causes the conflict. Resolving Interrupt Conflicts To support the special graphics processor on the FireGL card the system BIOS should automatically assign a system interrupt to the AGP slot where the card is installed. However, there may be problems if your graphics card does not receive an interrupt or a system interrupt is used for more than one device. In case of problems check the system configuration utility of your operating system for the interrupt assignments. Power Source Warning Message Your FIRE GL™ card requires an internal auxiliary DC power source. If the card's internal power extension cable is disconnected, a warning message will be displayed on your screen and your system will not start. Refer to Connecting power to the card on page 16 and reconnect the internal power extension cable. The card is not performing optimally? Check the Information tab of the Display Properties. The Transfer Mode information must be AGP. The Transfer Mode is not AGP? (for example, PCI) • Install the latest chipset driver for the AGP chipset on your motherboard. • Contact your supplier or motherboard manufacturer for further information.

Checking for
address and
interrupt
conflicts
°
It is necessary to ensure that the I/O and memory
addresses reserved for the graphics board are not
used by other hardware devices.
°
The integrated on-board VGA controller of your
FireGL card uses the following addresses (hex):
I/O Address:
Standard VGA I/O: 3B0-3DF
Memory Addresses
:
Video RAM: A000-BFFF
Video ROM: C000-C7FF
Note:
You cannot change the addresses of your
FireGL card. In case of an address conflict, try to
modify the I/O address of the add-on card that causes
the conflict.
Resolving
Interrupt
Conflicts
To support the special graphics processor on the FireGL
card the system BIOS should automatically assign a
system interrupt to the AGP slot where the card is
installed. However, there may be problems if your
graphics card does not receive an interrupt or a system
interrupt is used for more than one device. In case of
problems check the system configuration utility of your
operating system for the interrupt assignments.
