the IRQ.
The procedures to perform PCI card setup on early
generation PCI bus PCs and the related terms to
describe each procedure vary depending on which
BIOS your computer uses. Refer to your computer's
manual for specific information on configuring PCI
slots. As an example, generally an early generation
Phoenix BIOS has a “Device Select” field where
you should input the number of the slot (printed on
the PC motherboard next to the PCI slot) into which
the card was inserted. The field that reads “Enable
Device” should be set to “Enabled.” In addition, set
the “Enable Master” field to “Enabled”. Set the IRQ
for the adapter's slot to one which is unused by
other devices in the system.
Your BIOS may also require setting the IRQ trig-
gering method. There are three types of settings to
chose from:
• Level/Auto - This is usually the default.
Choosing this option leaves the assigned
IRQ free for other use if the installed card
does not use it.
• Level/Forced - If you are not able to get the
PCI card to work properly, choose this op-
tion. This will assign the specified IRQ per-
manently to the card.
• Edge/Auto - Some PCI boards support this
option. Do not use it.
Continue with the installation by proceeding to
Section 2.4.
2.4 Running the Set Up Utility
After the adapter is configured, run the setup/
diagnostic utility SETUP.EXE found on the driver
diskette to: A) view the adapter configuration, B)
set optional configuration parameters, and C) per-
form adapter diagnostics. Do not run SETUP.EXE
with network drivers loaded. Refer to the file
README.TXT in the root directory for detailed
