2.10 Hardware Installation Outline
PCI configuration
The PCI cards (or CompactPCI cards) are equipped with plug and play PCI
controllers, it can request base addresses and interrupts according to PCI
standards. The system BIOS will install the system resources based on the
PCI cards’ configuration registers and system parameters (which are set by
the system BIOS). Interrupt assignment and memory usage (I/O port
locations) of the PCI cards can only be assigned by system BIOS. These
system resource assignments are done on a board-by-board basis. It is not
suggested to assign the system resource by any other methods.
PCI slot selection
The PCI card can be inserted into any PCI slot without any configuration
modification to the system resources. Please note that the PCI system board
and slot must provide bus-mastering capability to operate at its optimum level.
