General information to read before installing
General information to read before installing
On all systems: before installing LAN card, go into Bios setup and set PnP OS option 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
General information to read before installing
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.
5 Remote boot:
6 Remote boot fails HP tests on Vectra VEi7.
7 Message during boot on VEi8:
8 Message “EtherExpress PRO flash routines disabled. ROM shadowing
problem.” appears when warm or cold booting the system.
The work-around for the above issues is to disable Plug and Play on the
NIC using the Intel SOFTSET2 utility and to disable shadowing in the
CMOS for the address region used by the NIC flash ram. Both must be
done. Disabling only the shadowing will not fix the problem.
1 Boot into DOS 6.22.
2 Run Intel’s SOFTSET2 utility. Go to “View adapter configuration” and
take down the Flash chip address for later use.
3 Go back to main menu of SOFTSET2 and go to Change adapter config-
uration > Advanced Options menu > Set Plug and Play to Disabled.
For remote boot set Remote boot program to NDIS or Netware ODI depending on the OS of the remote boot server. Save settings and exit
SOFTSET2.
4 The system will reboot.
5 Press F2 to go into CMOS settings. Go to Advanced > Shadow Options
> At a minimum, disable shadowing for the address region noted in
step 2. Save settings and exit SOFTSET2.
6 Reboot the system.
7 The Intel Flashstart configuration utility starts by default. Press the
spacebar twice to go to main menu > Exit. Note that after exiting, the
user will be given the option to start the Flashstart utility again on the
next reboot.
Another option to prevent the issues from occurring is to disable the
Flash memory feature on the NIC.
NOTE This option disables remote boot.
1 Run Intel SOFTSET2 utility.

9 From main menu go to Change adapter configuration > Change “Flash
Memory” to Disabled.
