1.10 Expansion slots The motherboard has six PCI slots and one Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) slot. To install and configure an expansion card: 1. Install an expansion card following the instructions that came with the chassis. NOTE: The AGP slot supports only 1.5V AGP cards. 2. Turn on the system and change the necessary BIOS settings, if any. See Chapter 2 for BIOS information. 3. Assign an IRQ to the card. Refer to the tables below. 4. Install the drivers and/or software applications for the expansion card according to the card documentation. 1.10.1 Standard interrupt assignments IRQ Priority Standard Function 0 1 System Timer 1 2 Keyboard Controller 2 N/A Programmable Interrupt 3* 11 Communications Port (COM2) 4* 12 Communications Port (COM1) 5* 13 IRQ holder for PCI steering 6 14 Floppy Disk Controller 7* 15 Printer Port (LPT1) 8 3 System CMOS/Real Time Clock 9* 4 IRQ holder for PCI steering 10* 5 Advance AC'97 CODEC 11* 6 Standard PCI Graphics Adapter (VGA) 12* 7 PS/2 Compatible Mouse Port 13 8 Numeric Data Processor 14* 9 Primary IDE Channel 15* 10 Secondary IDE Channel * These IRQs are usually available for ISA or PCI devices. 1.10.2 IRQ assignments for this motherboard AB PCI slot 1 -- PCI slot 2 -- PCI slot 3 -- PCI slot 4 -- PCI slot 5 -- PCI slot 6 -- AGP slot shared - Onboard USB controller HC0 shared - Onboard USB controller HC1 - - Onboard USB controller HC2 - - Onboard USB 2.0 controller - - Onboard LAN (optional) -- C D E F GH - - - shared - - - - - - shared - - - - - - shared - - shared - - - - - - shared - - shared - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - -- - used - - - - shared - - - - - - - - - - shared - - shared - - - When using PCI cards on shared slots, ensure that the drivers support "Share IRQ" or that the cards do not need IRQ assignments. Otherwise, conflicts arise between the two PCI groups making the system unstable and the card inoperable. 1-14 Chapter 1: Product introduction
