Step Explanation
4 The fourth screen requests the IRQ value for this card.
It is important to verify that the IRQ you select for each ISI does
not overlap with existing devices or with another ISI. Type the
desired IRQ value, and press <Enter>.
Note: if you entered a number greater than “1” at the first
screen, the previous three screens reappear in sequence for
each card you are installing. When you have entered the
necessary information, the installation will continue.
5 The fifth screen requests the following:
Enter the number of pseudo devices to be created
for the use of Multi_View Utility. (1-256):
Note: at this prompt, you must enter a minimum of 8 for each
board installed (i.e., 8 for one card, 16 for two cards, etc.)
Enter the proper value and press <Enter>.
6 The /dev directory holds device-information files used by the
kernel to access the hardware. When you add an ISI, you must
give the ISI ports unique names, so they do not conflict with
existing ports or other devices known to your system. If you use
an existing device name to identify your new ISI ports, the
existing device is “deleted” when the ISI port using its name is
created.
The default base name for ISI ports is “
ttyl
”; and the default base
name for printer ports is "
prnl
". If this is acceptable, type Y and
press <Enter>. Proceed to Step 10.
If the default base name is unacceptable, go on to Step 7.
