Reserving an IRQ within the BIOS – Legacy ISA

Other than removing the offending legacy card, the next most effective method is

to reserve the IRQ for legacy use within your BIOS. To do this you will need to

enter the BIOS configuration screen when your computer first starts up. This is

usually done by pressing the Delete key or F1 key right after the memory test

during the boot-up routine. Once you’re in the BIOS control panel, check to see if

you are given the option of manually configuring your interrupts. Some BIOS’s,

such as those from Award, allow you to choose between “Plug-and-Play” and

“legacy ISA” for each interrupt. If you select “legacy ISA” for the interrupt that is

being used by your legacy card, the BIOS will know not to assign that interrupt to

a Plug-and-Play card.

Unfortunately, some BIOS’s don’t support this capability. If your BIOS is one of

those, don’t worry: You still have another option. See the next page.
