System interrupts
This table shows the system Interrupt Requests (IRQs) and their functions. You may
use this information if you install an adapter card that requires you to set IRQs. An
IRQ function that has a device name in parenthesis might not be available on all
models. In some cases, the device listed uses the IRQ.
