IRQ Resource Setup
Press <Enter> and the following sub-menu appears.
IRQ 3/4/5/7/9/10/11/14/15
These items specify the bus where the specified IRQ line is used.
The settings determine if AMIBIOS should remove an IRQ from the pool of avail-
able IRQs passed to devices that are configurable by the system BIOS. The
available IRQ pool is determined by reading the ESCD NVRAM. If more IRQs must
be removed from the IRQ pool, the end user can use these settings to reserve
the IRQ by assigning an [Reserved] setting to it. Onboard I/O is configured by
AMIBIOS. All IRQs used by onboard I/O are configured as [Available]. If all IRQs
are set to [Reserved], and IRQ 14/15 are allocated to the onboard PCI IDE, IRQ 9
will still be available for PCI and PnP devices. Available settings: [Reserved] and
[Available].
DMA Resource Setup
Press <Enter> and the following sub-menu appears.
DMA Channel 0/1/3/5/6/7
These items specify the bus that the system DMA (Direct Memory Access)
channel is used.
The settings determine if AMIBIOS should remove a DMA from the available
DMAs passed to devices that are configurable by the system BIOS. The avail-
able DMA pool is determined by reading the ESCD NVRAM. If more DMAs must be
removed from the pool, the end user can reserve the DMA by assigning [Reserved]
setting to it.
