Q:

How's the IRQ sharing issue for KV7 board?

  • AGP,PCI-1, LAN and SATA share an IRQ signal.
  • PCI-4 and PCI-5 share an IRQ.
  • If you want to install two PCI cards into those PCI slots that share IRQ with one another at the same time, you must make sure your OS and PCI devices' driver supports the IRQ sharing function.
A:

Manually assigning the IRQs is possible in BIOS "PnP/PCI configuration" submenu.

  • PIRQ_0 is for AGP, PCI-1, LAN and SATA.
  • PIRQ_1 is for PCI-2.
  • PIRQ_2 is for PCI-3.
  • PIRQ_3 is for PCI-4 and PCI-5
