2.4 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 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
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 of
the system resources. The CompactPCI card can also be inserted into any
CompactPCI I/O slot.
