[. . . ] A PCI device cannot use IRQs already in use by ISA and EISA devices. Use ·AUTO· only if no ISA or EISA legacy cards are installed. PCI Configuration menu Establishes which ISA interrupts will be used for the individual PCI slots and which controller (device) of the mainboard shares this PCI interrupt with the PCI slots (e. g. Multifunctional PCI boards or boards with an integrated PCI-to-PCI bridge can use several PCI interrupts (INTA#, INTB#, INTC#, INTD#). Monofunctional PCI boards (default) only use one PCI interrupt (INTA#) per PCI slot. The PCI interrupts INTA#, INTB#, INTC# and INTD# are available for every PCI slot. Different IRQ combinations may be displayed depending on the configuration.
