Memory map
Interrupts
The following table suggests a logical interrupt mapping of interrupt sources.
It reflects a typical configuration, but you can change these interrupts. Use
the information to determine how to program each interrupt. The actual
interrupt map is defined using configuration registers in the I/O controller.
I/O Redirection Registers in the I/O APIC are provided for each interrupt
signal. The signals define hardware interrupt signal characteristics for APIC
messages sent to local APIC(s).

Important
If you disable either IDE controller to free the interrupt for
that controller, you must physically unplug the IDE cable
from the system board. Simply disabling the drive by
configuring the SSU option does not make the interrupt
available.
