    Installing an internal modem: which IRQ should not be used because it’s typically reserved by IDE?

    a)
    5
    b)
    10
    c)
    14
    d)
    Any of the above

    Explanation

    IRQ 14 is traditionally the primary IDE channel. Using it for a modem causes conflicts and device failures. Choose an available IRQ (e.g., 5 or 10) and avoid those reserved by storage controllers.
