Serial Communication Screen
Table 2-7 lists the options and descriptions for the information fields that
appear on the Serial Communication screen.
I/OAT DMA Engine
(Disabled default)
Enables the I/O Acceleration Technology (I/OAT) option.
This feature should be enabled only if the hardware and
software support I/OAT. The I/OAT Data Memory
Tranfer (DMA) Engine transfers data between memory
modules, allowing data to bypass the CPU. I/OAT will be
supported on the NICs.
System Interrupt
Assignment (Standard) Controls the interrupt assignment of PCI devices in the
system. When set to distributed, the interrupt routing
will be swizzled to minimize IRQ sharing.
