PCI Interrupt Request Routing
The IRQ, abbreviation of interrupt request line and pronounced I-R-Q, are hardware lines over
which devices can send interrupt signals to the microprocessor. The PCI IRQ pins are typically
connected to the PCI bus INT A# ~ INT D# pins as follows:
Order1 Order2 Order3 Order4
PCI Slot 1 INT A# INT D# INT C# INT B#
PCI Slot 2 INT B# INT C# INT D# INT A#
PCI Slot 3 INT C# INT D# INT A# INT B#
