Note

! PCI slot 1 shares IRQ signals with the AGP slot.

! PCI-4 and USB controllers 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 that your OS and PCI devices’ driver supports the IRQ sharing

function.

! PCI slot 5 shares IRQ signals with the HPT 372 IDE controller (supports Ultra DMA 133). The

driver for HPT 372 IDE controller supports IRQ sharing with other PCI devices. But if you install

a PCI card that doesn’t allow IRQ sharing with other devices into PCI slot 5, you may encounter

problems. Furthermore, if your Operating System doesn’t allow peripheral devices to share IRQ

signals with each other, such as Windows

NT for example, you can’t install a PCI card into PCI

slot 5. (KX7-333R Only)

! HPT 372 IDE controller is designed to support high-speed and high performance mass storage

devices. Thus, we suggest that you don’t connect non-disk devices that use ATA/ATAPI

interfaces, such as a CD-ROM, to HPT 372 IDE connector (IDE3 & IDE4). (KX7-333R Only)

3-8. PC Health Status

You can set the warning and shutdown temperatures for your computer system, and you can check the fan

speeds and power supply voltages of your computer system. The features are useful for monitoring all the

important parameters within your computer system. We call it the PC Health Status.
