Interrupts

Table 39 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 PIIX4E and 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).

Description

INTR

INT0

Processor interrupt

NMI

N/A

NMI from PIC to processor

IRQ1

INT1

Keyboard interrupt

Cascade

INT2

Interrupt signal from second 8259 in PIIX4E

IRQ3

INT3

Serial port A or B interrupt from SIO device (you can configure
either)

IRQ4

INT4

Serial port A or B interrupt from SIO device (you can configure
either)

IRQ5

INT5

Parallel port II

IRQ6

INT6

Diskette port

IRQ7

INT7

Parallel port

IRQ8_L

INT8

RTC interrupt

IRQ9

INT9

Signal control interrupt (SCI) used by ACPI-compliant
operating system

IRQ10

INT10

IRQ11

INT11

IRQ12

INT12

Mouse interrupt

IRQ13

INT13

Co-processor interrupt

IRQ14

INT14

Compatibility IDE interrupt from primary channel IDE devices
0 and 1

IRQ15

INT15

SMI_L

System management interrupt—general purpose indicator
sourced by the PIIX4E and BMC through the PID to the
processors

Note:

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.
