Configuring the PCI 10/100 Adapter
PCI Computer with PnP Auto-Configuration
Before installing your Hypertec PCI 10/100 Adapter, try to
establish whether your PC has PCI PnP Auto configuration. In
most cases, the PCI computer will be configured automatically by
the system's BIOS during boot up. The BIOS automatically
assigns the I/O base address and IRQ to the card for proper
operation.
PCI Computer without PnP Self-Configuration
In rare cases, some PCI computers require additional
configuration steps in order to install a PCI adapter. In such an
event we recommend the following:
• Make sure that the BIOS is set up correctly. In some PCI
computers, you may need to enable the PCI slot by using the
BIOS setup program, or motherboard jumper changes.
• Choose a PCI Slot number to use. Remember the PCI Slot
number where the adapter card was installed, as you need to
set it up as a Bus Master (Enabled).
• Examine the reserved interrupts (IRQs) and/or memory
address for ISA adapters. The PCI card will be prevented
from using the same settings as the ISA cards are using.
