44 Reference 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 Fire GL 8800 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 Fire GL 8800. 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 Fire GL 8800 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.

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 Fire GL 8800
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 Fire GL 8800.
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 Fire GL 8800 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.
