Only connect IDE hard drives to the RAID IDE connectors.
PCI slot 3 and RAID IDE use the same IRQ. If you are using add-in cards
such as PCI audio card, please do not install it into PCI slot 3.
By default, the Promise RAID controller is enabled. If you are not using this
function, set the Promise RAID Control field (Advanced BIOS Features)
to Disabled. The IRQ previously occupied by the controller will be available
for other devices.
