Selecting an I/O Base Address
To assist you in selecting an available I/O base address on your system, the HotWire Diagnostics Utility provides a selection that scans your system to obtain unused addresses. To compose the list, however, the utility must rely on the integrity of your installed cards to report their base address usage correctly.
Procedure
To use this feature:
1. Enter Windows.
2. Double-click on the HotWire program icon to access the main menu. For a complete description of this menu, refer to Chapter 3.
3. Select Recommend Base Address from the Configuration menu to display a list of unused base addresses.
Installation and Setup
If necessary, click on the window.
4. Make a note of an available address.
5. Click on one of the following:
Exit to close the window
and return to the main menu.

Installation and Setup
Setting the I/O Base Address
I/O base addresses are areas of memory that your CPU uses to distinguish between the various peripheral devices connected to your system when transferring or receiving data. This card uses a single DIP switch bank (SW1), as shown in the card illustration below, to assign the card’s base address. The illustration shows the switch settings for an I/O base address of 380.
NOTE:
Each hardware device included in the system must have a different I/O base address.

To set the I/O base address switches:
1. Determine the appropriate I/O base address for the card. You may use the utility feature for obtaining a list of unused addresses. See
Base Address
on page 2-3.
2. Identify the switch settings for the address selected. Appendix D provides a list of switch settings for possible addresses.
3. Set the switches to the desired address. A switch in the up or On position represents a binary 1. A switch in the down or Off position represents a binary 0.

Make a note of the base address used so you can verify/set that address in the HotWire Hardware Setup window after the HotWire software is installed.
Setting the IRQ Switches
IRQ (hardware interrupt request) is a signal used by your device to inform your CPU when it wants to transfer or receive data. Use Switch Banks 2 and 3 (SW2 and SW3) to select an IRQ. You can use the following illustration to locate these switches. The callouts show the switch settings when IRQ is set to 5.

NOTE:
Switches 7 and 8 on SW1 are not used so they may be On or Off. The example shows them On.
NOTE:
The IRQ setting must not conflict with any other device in the PC.

" Procedure
To set the IRQ switches:
1. Determine the appropriate IRQ for the card. Using the previous table, you may already know of an available IRQ. It not, refer to your PC documentation for instructions on how to determine available IRQs. Typically, the available IRQ settings are 5, 7, 10 and 11. It is common in systems to use the other IRQs for system devices.
2. Identify the switch to be set on SW2 or SW3 for the selected IRQ using the previous table (note that the table shows the setting if the IRQ is set to 5). A switch in the On position selects the IRQ associated with that switch. All other switches should be Off.
3. Set the switch.
Make a note of the IRQ setting used so you can verify/set the Interrupt No. in the HotWire Hardware Setup window after the HotWire software is installed.

Power-Up Self-Test
Whenever you turn on your system or after the card reset operation is selected in the Diagnostics Utility, a power-up self-test is automatically performed on the HotWire DSL card to ensure that the card is installed and functioning properly. The self-test includes a basic hardware test and verification of card components. The SYS (system) LED state identifies the following conditions by:
Turning solid green if the test is successful. Turning Off if the test fails.
The LEDs are only visible when the PC cover is removed. To locate the SYS LED on the card, refer to Appendix A for an illustration of the LEDs. If the test fails:
Recheck or change the IRQ setting. Check the seating of the card.

Checking Installation
Once you have installed the card and the utility, you can check card installation using the Diagnostics Utility.
Procedure
To check installation:
1. Enter Windows/Windows 95.
2. Double-click on the HotWire program icon to access the following main menu. For a complete description of this menu, refer to Chapter 3.
3. Select Recommend Base Address from the Configuration menu. Typically, if the software detects the HotWire DSL card, you will see only one
base address listed in the Available Base Address window. This address matches the address set on the card and should match the address you set in the Hardware Setup window.
4. Click on Exit to close the Available Base Address window.
5. Perform the following five procedures:
