Configuring an expansion card

After installing the expansion card, configure it by adjusting the software settings.
1. Turn on the system and change the necessary BIOS settings.
2. Assign an IRQ to the card. Refer to the tables on the next page.
3. Install the software drivers for the expansion card.

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 will

arise between the two PCI groups, making the system unstable and the card

inoperable. Refer to the table on the next page for details.
