General information to read before installing

On all systems : before installing LAN card, go into Bios setup and set PnP OS field to NO.

• How to change LAN card configuration if needed (Advanced users only)

This is a general advisory on how to forcibly modify resources for ISA and PCI network cards.

ISA cards:

• For ISA network adapters, start the configuration tool provided in driver kit (See install documentation)

• Under CMOS setup, go to Advanced > PnP/PCI ISA IRQ Resource Exclusion > reserve an IRQ for the adapter.

PCI cards:

• For PCI network adapters, go to CMOS setup > Advanced > PnP/PCI ISA IRQ Resource Exclusion > reserve the IRQ for Legacy ISA.

• ISA cards can’t use IRQ9

• IRQ 9 is reported as being used by ACPI during POST. This is due to ISA’s inability to share IRQs.

• Using a different IRQ (e.g. 5, 7, 10, and 11) will work. For this:

1 Install the NIC then power up the system.

2 Press F2 to go to CMOS setup.

3 Set PnP OS to NO and reserve IRQ 5, 7, 10, or 11 (explained in installation

section)

4 Save the configuration settings and boot to the applicable OS.

5 Follow installation steps.

Sound conflict under Win 95 on VLi8 only

• On VLi8, LAN cards cause an IRQ conflict with the embedded sound device under Win95.

• To solve the problem: Reserve IRQ 5 and sett PNP OS to no. For this:

1 Install the NIC then power up the system

2 Press F2 to go to CMOS setup.

3 Set PNP OS to NO and reserve IRQ 5.

4 Save settings and boot to applicable OS.
