PCI Interrupt Request Routing
The IRQ, abbreviation of interrupt request line and pronounced I-R-Q, are hardware lines over
which devices can send interrupt signals to the microprocessor. The PCI IRQ pins are typically
connected to the PCI bus INT A# ~ INT D# pins as follows:
Order1
PCI Slot 1
INT C#
PCI Slot 2
INT D#
PCI Slot 3
INT A#
Order2
Order3
INT D#
INT A#
INT A#
INT B#
INT B#
INT C#
Order4
INT C#
INT B#
INT D#
