POST Message Description
1800 A PCI adapter has requested a hardware interrupt that is not
available.
Action:
1. Make sure that all ISA legacy adapters are set correctly in the
Configuration/Setup Utility program. If the hardware
interrupt settings are not correct, change and save the settings.
Setting the resources used by ISA legacy adapters to Not
available enables the Plug and Play function to configure
around the legacy adapters.
For background information on PCI, ISA, Plug and Play, and
legacy (non-Plug and Play) adapters, refer to Installing Options
in Your Personal Computer. For information about required
interrupt resource settings for ISA legacy adapters, refer to the
documentation that comes with these adapters. For
instructions on using the Configuration/Setup Utility program,
see “Configuring Your Computer” on page 22.
2. Make sure that switches on all ISA legacy adapters are set
correctly. For information about switch settings, refer to the
documentation that comes with the ISA legacy adapters.
3. If all hardware interrupts are being used by ISA legacy
adapters, you might need to remove an ISA legacy adapter to
make an interrupt available to the PCI adapter you want to
install. For instructions on removing adapters, see Installing
Options in Your Personal Computer.
Note: If you remove an ISA legacy adapter, set the hardware
interrupt used by the removed adapter to Available
before installing another adapter.
4. If you have other PCI or Plug and Play adapters installed, you
might need to remove one of these adapters to make an
interrupt available to the PCI adapter you want to install.
If the problem cannot be isolated and corrected, have the computer
serviced.
