2.5 Hardware Installation Outline
Hardware configuration
These PCI cards (or CompactPCI, Low Profile PCI cards) are equipped with a
Plug and Play PCI controller that requests base addresses and interrupts
according to PCI standard. The system BIOS will install the system resource
based on the PCI cards’ configuration registers and system parameters (which
are set by system BIOS). Interrupt assignment and memory usage (I/O port
locations) of the PCI cards can be assigned by system BIOS only. These
system resource assignments are done on a board-by-board basis. It is not
suggested to assign the system resource by any other methods.
PCI slot selection
The PCI and Low-Profile PCI cards can be inserted to any PCI slot without any
configuration for system resource. CompactPCI peripheral slots are marked
with a circle on the backplane. Please note that the PCI, CompactPCI, and
Low-Profile PCI system board must provide bus-mastering capability to
operate this board well.
