PCI computers are designed to automatically configure add-in cards each time
the server starts. Your PCI server sets the I/O address and IRQ level for your
network NIC when the server starts. These values cannot be changed by
Compaq NIC software. If you experience a problem when the server starts,
additional configuration steps may be required.
On these computers, manual configuration is possible through the computer?s
PCI BIOS setup utility. Refer to your computer?s documentation. You may
need to verify or change some BIOS settings.
Some common PCI solutions are listed here.
? Busmaster-enabled sl. On otssome computers, all slots are not
busmaster enabled by default. Check your BIOS PCI bus setting. It will
be set to either Busmaster or Non-busmastered. Choose Busmaster.
? Reserve interrupts (IRQs) and/or memory addresses fo.r ISA NICs
This prevents PCI cards from trying to use the same settings ISA cards
are using. Check your PCI BIOS setup program. There may be IRQ
options such as Enable for ISA, Reserve for ISA, or Disable for PCI.?
This option is sometimes in the Plug and Play area of the BIOS setup.
? Enable the PCI . slotIn some PCI computers, you must use the PCI
BIOS setup program to enable the PCI slot.
? Update your PCI BI. An updateOSd PCI system BIOS can correct
some PCI configuration problems. Call your server manufacturer to see
if an updated BIOS version is available for your server. Phone numbers
for the top PCI server manufacturers are listed in the ?PCI Installation?
Readme file onComp the aq Software and Docume CD.ntation
? Configure the slot for level-triggere. Thd interruptse slot the NIC is
using must be configured for level-triggered interrupts rather than edge-
triggered interrupts. Check your PCI BIOS Setup program.
