PCI Interrupt Request Routing
The IRQ, abbreviation of interrupt request line and pronounced I-R-Q,
are hardware lines over which devices can send interrupt signals to the
microprocessor.
To install a PCI expansion card on a PCI
shared
slot, you
must make sure the card’s driver supports “IRQ shared” function or there is
no need to assign an IRQ to the device.
The “AGP/PCI/USB/Promise ATA100” IRQ pins are typically connected
to the PCI bus INTA#-INTD# pins as follows:
