| IRQ | |||||||||
| 0 | System Timer | This IRQ is used within the system board for system timing. If a conflict arises with this IRQ chances are the system board is bad, use a diagnostic program to determine if this is the case. | |||||||
| 1 | Keyboard Controller | This IRQ is assigned to the keyboard. Its never available to other add-in cards. Again if this is the problem, its most likely a problem with the system board. | |||||||
| 2 | Tied to IRQs 9 | This IRQ was assigned to older EGA video cards. Beware, IRQ 9 uses IRQ to communicate with the CPU, therefore this IRQ should only be used under extreme circumstances. | |||||||
| 3 | COM 2 | This IRQ is assigned to the serial ports: COM 2, and COM 4. Avoid setting other devices to this IRQ since mice, modems, and other devices are set to use this IRQ. | |||||||
| 4 | COM 1 | This IRQ is assigned to the serial ports: COM 1, and COM 3. Remember IRQ lines for the most part cannot be shared, so generally you can't have devices on COM 1 and COM 3 that are both active and working. | |||||||
| 5 | LPT2 or Sound Card | This IRQ is assigned to a secondary printer port LPT2, but in the absence of a second printer port, it is used primarily for sound cards, or as an alternative IRQ for the COM ports. | |||||||
| 6 | Floppy Disk Controller | This IRQ is assigned to the diskette controller. Few if any devices leave this IRQ as an option, since most systems have a floppy drive built into them. | |||||||
| 7 | LPT 1 | This IRQ is assigned to the first parallel port LPT1, its also made available to other add-in cards, but should not be used for anything except the printer port to avoid conflicts. | |||||||
| 8 | Real Time Clock | This IRQ is reserved for the internal real-time clock. This line is never available to other add-in cards. If there is a conflict here, its an indication of a motherboard problem. | |||||||
| 9 | Substitutes for IRQ 2 | This IRQ uses IRQ 2 to talk to the CPU, so it has a high priority. Its generally used for network cards. | |||||||
| 10 | Not Assigned | This IRQ is left open for network cards, sound cards, SCSI host adapters. | |||||||
| 11 | Not Assigned | This IRQ is a common one for SCSI host adapters, but can also be used for a variety of other devices. | |||||||
| 12 | PS/2 Mouse Port | This IRQ is used for the PS/2 style mouse port. If the PS/2 mouse port is enabled, don't use this port for anything else, otherwise its available. | |||||||
| 13 | NPU | This IRQ is reserved for the Numeric Processing Unit (math coprocessor) It is never available for anything else. | |||||||
| 14 | Primary IDE | This IRQ is assigned to the primary hard drive interface | |||||||
| 15 | Secondary IDE | This IRQ is assigned to the secondary hard drive interface. | |||||||
| DMA Channel | Devices commonly assigned | ||||||||
| 0 | Assigned internal to the system board, you shouldn't be able to use it. | ||||||||
| 1 | No specific assignment, although its usually used for sound cards, or SCSI host adapters. | ||||||||
| 2 | Assigned to the diskette drives. | ||||||||
| 3 | No specific assignment, although its again a common choice for sound cards, network interface cards, or SCSI host adapters. | ||||||||
| 4 | No specific assignment | ||||||||
| 5 | No specific assignment, however Sound Blaster-type cards generally use this DMA channel | ||||||||
| 6 | No specific assignment | ||||||||
| 7 | No specific assignment | ||||||||
| I/O Address | Common Device using Address | ||||||||
| 130h | Used for SCSI host adapters | ||||||||
| 140h | Used for SCSI host adapters | ||||||||
| 170h | Secondary IDE Interface | ||||||||
| 1F0h | Primary IDE Interface | ||||||||
| 220h | Typically used for Sound Blaster-type sound cards | ||||||||
| 240h | An alternate address for sound cards | ||||||||
| 278h | Assigned to LPT2 or LPT3 and generally used with IRQ 5 | ||||||||
| 280h | Network Interface cards or the Aria Synthesizer | ||||||||
| 2A0h | An alternate address for NIC cards or the Aria Synthesizer | ||||||||
| 2E8h | Assigned to COM 4 and used with IRQ 3 | ||||||||
| 2F8h | Assigned to COM 2 and used with IRQ 3 | ||||||||
| 300h | Another Network Interface Card choice | ||||||||
| 320h | A good place for a Network card, unless there is a SCSI host adapter or MIDI device | ||||||||
| 330h | A common place for the SCSI host adapters | ||||||||
| 340h | Another good alternative for the SCSI host adapter | ||||||||
| 360h | A Network card choice, but beware of the first parallel printer port, this could be a conflict. | ||||||||
| 378h | The first parallel printer port (LPT 1) in color systems, commonly used with IRQ 7. | ||||||||
| 3BCh | The first parallel printer port (LPT1) in monochrome systems, beware you may have problem assigning this address to a printer port in Windows 95. | ||||||||
| 3E8h | Assigned to COM 3 and used with IRQ 4 | ||||||||
| 3F8h | Assigned to COM 1 and used with IRQ 4 | ||||||||
