SIMATIC IPC847D 
Operating Instructions, 01/2014, A5E32997454-AA

PCI / PCIe cards and the on-board PCI / PCIe devices require PCI interrupt channels. These 
interrupt channels can be shared and are plug-and-play compatible, that is, several devices 
can share the same interrupt. The IRQ is assigned automatically.  
PCI interrupt channels must be derived from the PIC interrupt pool, that is PCI modules also 
use PIC resources. These IRQ channels are assigned automatically.  
The Host PCI IRQ channels A to H are permanently assigned in APIC mode. These default 
settings cannot be modified.  
The Host PCI IRQ channels A to H in PIC mode are assigned automatically in BIOS. The 
assignment can be changed by disabling functions. Resulting free IRQs are assigned to the 
slots.  
Memory address assignments 
PCI VGA modules can be operated with expansion ROM up to 48K.
