User manual FUJITSU SIEMENS SCENIC N300 (I845GE)

[. . . ] Information about boards Be sure to observe the following for boards with ESD: You must always discharge static build up (e. The equipment and tools you use must be free of static charges. Remove the power plug from the mains supply before inserting or removing boards containing ESDs. Always hold boards with ESDs by their edges. [. . . ] Never touch pins or conductors on boards fitted with ESDs. Your mainboard is available in different configuration levels. Depending on the configuration, your mainboard is equipped with or supports special features. This manual describes the most important properties of this mainboard. The location of the interfaces and connectors of your mainboard is specified at the beginning of the manual. The components and connectors marked are not necessarily present on the mainboard. The location of the external connections of your mainboard is specified at the beginning of the manual. Monitor port, blue Audio input (Line in), light blue Disconnect the system from the mains voltage before performing any of the tasks described below. Details are contained in the operating manual of your system. Which ISA IRQs are assigned to the PCI IRQ Lines is normally automatically specified by the BIOS (see "BIOS Setup" description). Monofunctional expansions cards Standard AGP and PCI expansion cards require a maximum of one interrupt, which is called the PCI interrupt INT A. Expansion cards that do not require an interrupt can be installed in any desired slot. Multifunctional expansion cards or expansion cards with integrated PCI-PCI bridge These expansion cards require up to four PCI interrupts: INT A, INT B, INT C, INT D. How many and which of these interrupts are used is specified in the documentation provided with the card. The assignment of the PCI interrupts to the IRQ Lines is shown in the following table: Controller or slot INT On board controller USB 1. Use the first PCI slots that have a single PCI IRQ Line (no IRQ sharing). If you must use another PCI slot with IRQ sharing, check whether the expansion card properly supports IRQ sharing with the other devices on this PCI IRQ Line. The drivers of all cards and components on this PCI IRQ Line must also support IRQ sharing. [. . . ] The drivers of all cards and components on this PCI IRQ Line must also support IRQ sharing. Fujitsu Siemens Computers makes new BIOS versions available to ensure compatibility to new operating systems, new software or new hardware. In addition, new BIOS functions can also be integrated. A BIOS update should always also be carried out when a problem exists that cannot be solved with new drivers or new software. [. . . ]
