Information about the assignment of PCI/PCIe slots is available in chapter "Bus board -
Layout and principle of operation (Page 154)".
Notes on the allocation of resources
Only two exclusive interrupts are available for PCI /PCIe expansion cards due to the large
functional scope of the motherboard. If the new expansion cards require additional exclusive
resources, you must disable certain motherboard functions. For information on allocated
resources, refer to the section System resources (Page 163). Information on disabling
motherboard functions is available in the BIOS description.
