ISA configurdtion utilily (TCU), you can use it to indicate whieli IRQs are in
use by Legacy cards. 11‘you do not have an ICU program, you can use tiie
PCI and

,An IRQ number is automatically assigned tc PCI e\p 3 nsicu] cards slier those
used by iHCgacy and PNP ISA cards. In Lbe PCI bus design, the BIOS auto­
matically assigns an IRQ to a PCI slot that has a card in it that requires an
IRQ To install a PCI card, you need to set something called the iK f {intei-
rtipt) assignment. Since all the PCi slots on this motherboard use an INTA
N, be sure that the jumpers on ydut PCI cards are set lo INT A,
Assigning DMA Channels for TSA Cards
Some ISA cards, both legacy and PNP may also need to use a DMA (Direct
Memory Access) channel. DMA assignments for this riiotherboard uiu
handled the same way as the IRQ assignment process described above. If
veu don't use an ICU program, ycu cati also select a DMA channei in the
PCI and PNI' conliguratioti section of lite BIOS Setup utility.
