2.5 Hardware Installation Outline
Hardware configuration
The PCI cards (or CompactPCI cards) are equipped with plug and
play PCI controllers, it can request base addresses and interrupts
according to the PCI standard. The system BIOS will assign 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) can
only be assigned by the system BIOS. These system resource
assignments are done on a board-by-board basis. It is not sug-
gested to assign the system resource by any other methods.
PCI slot selection
The PCI card can be inserted into any PCI slot without any config-
uration of the system resources. The CompactPCI card can also
be inserted into any CompactPCI I/O slot.
