Checking the Equipment

This section provides troubleshooting procedures for external devices
attached to the system, such as the monitor, keyboard, or mouse. Before you
perform any of the procedures, see "Troubleshooting External Connections"

Troubleshooting IRQ Assignment Conflicts

Most PCI devices can share an IRQ with another device, but they cannot use
an IRQ simultaneously. To avoid this type of conflict, see the documentation
for each PCI device for specific IRQ requirements. Table 4-2 lists the IRQ
assignments.
