Intel VS440FX - Event Logging Configuration Subscreen

VS440FX Motherboard Technical Product Specification
62
By default, upper memory is allocated as follows: Memory from C0000-C7FFF is automatically
shadowed (this memory range is typically reserved for video BIOS). Memory from C8000-DFFFF
is initially unshadowed. The BIOS scans this range for any ISA add-in cards that may be present
and notes their location and size. The BIOS then auto-configures the PCI devices and Plug and
Play devices, shadowing their ROM requirements (other than video) into the area above E0000. If
that area becomes full, the BIOS continues shadowing to the area between C8000 and DFFFF. If
an ISA legacy card has non-ROM memory requirements, the auto-configure routine might write
into an area that is needed by the ISA card. Use the ISA Shared Memory Size and ISA Shared
Memory Base Address fields to reserve a block of memory that will not be used for shadowing.
3.15.10.4 ISA Shared Memory Base Address
Sets the base address for the ISA Shared Memory. The options are:
• C8000h (default)
• CC000h
• D0000h
• D4000h
• D8000h
• DC000h
The options that appear depend on the ISA Shared Memory Size field. The total amount of ISA
Shared Memory cannot extend to the E0000h address. For example, if you specify a size of
64 KB, options D4000h, D8000h, and DC000h will not be available.
3.15.10.5 IRQ 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15
Sets the status of the IRQ. The options are:
• Available (default)
• Used By ISA Card
The PCI auto-configuration code uses these settings to determine whether these interrupts are
available for use by PCI add-in cards. If an interrupt is marked available, the auto-configuration
code can assign the interrupt to be used by the system. If your computer has an ISA add-in card
that requires an interrupt, select Used By ISA Card for that interrupt.

NOTE
IRQs 5, 9, 10, 11, and 12 are the default user-available IRQs. Depending on the configuration of
your system, other IRQs may be listed (for example, if you disable the parallel port and/or serial
ports).
3.15.11 Event Logging Configuration Subscreen
This section describes the options available in the Event Logging Configuration subscreen.
3.15.11.1 Event Log Status
This information field tells whether the log is full or not. There are no options.
