System Input/Output Addresses
This table shows the hexadecimal addresses for each of the system board input/output (I/O) functions.

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.
Note: IRQ 11 may be used if hardware MPEG is enabled.

DMA memory map Channel Assignments
This table shows the channel assignments for direct memory access (DMA). DMA allows I/O devices to transfer data directly to and from memory. You may need to select an open DMA channel if you add an I/O device that uses DMA.

Table 1- 6 DMA Channel Assignments Table

DMA channel - Assignment

0 - Audio

1 - Audio

2 - Diskette DMA channel

3 - Audio

4 - Cascade

5 - Not used

6 - Not used

7 - Not used


Serial Port Addresses
The built-in serial port supports these addresses and interrupts.

Table 1- 7 Serial Port Addresses Table

Address - Windows 95 Interrupt - Default

3F8 - COM1 IRQ 4 - Modem

3E8 - COM3 - Serial port B

2F8 - COM2 IRQ 3 - Serial port A

2E8 - COM4


Note: Conflicts may arise if you add adapter cards with serial ports or if you change the address settings on your modem if you are using an operating system other than Windows 95. You can resolve most of these conflicts by using the BIOS Setup Utility to change serial port addresses.
