32-BIT (NWAY) PCI (FAST) ETHERNET ADAPTER =============================================================================== How to Configure Your PCI adapter --------------------------------- 1. Go to the PCI configuration item in BIOS setup. 2. Take the following steps to configure the PCI slot: a). You should know which slot your adapter is plugged into. Look for the physical location of the slot on your PCI motherboard. b). Set the "this device" field to "Enable". c). Set the "this item" field to "Master". The 10M or 32-BIT PCI adapter MUST be installed in an expansion slot that supports "Bus Master" mode. Refer to your system documentation to determine which slots support Bus Mastering. d). Some BIOS Setups allow you to select which interrupt line you can use. In this case, select "INT A" for the "this item" field. e). Select an IRQ of your choice, make sure it does not conflict with existing IRQs in use. d). Select the "Trigger method" by which the IRQ is assigned or routed to the PCI slot. Choose "level-trigger" option. Multiple 32-BIT PCI adapters can share the same PCI interrupt and all must use INT A with level-trigger mode. 3. Run the diagnostic program found in the driver diskette. If a problem arises during installation, contact your dealer for support. Conflict with Microsoft EMM386 ------------------------------ The PCI adapters can only function with the EMM386.exe memory manager program version 4.49 or later. You can verify its version number by entering EMM386 at the DOS Prompt. Do not specify the "highscan" option with the EMM386.exe statement in your config.sys file or your system will hang. If you run MEMMAKER and select Custom Setup, do not specify "Aggressively scan upper memory", or it will automatically insert the HIGHSCAN flag into the EMM386 command line. This parameter cannot be manually removed once it's installed; doing so will cause the extended memory manager to malfunction. Support for 5 Volt PCI Slots ---------------------------- The 32-BIT (NWAY) PCI-Bus (Fast) Ethernet Adapter currently supports only 5 volt PCI slots. Future release of the adapter will support both 3.3 and 5 volt PCI slots. Note: 1. Some PCI-ISA computers require manual configuration. When you set the interrupt you must move the jumper. For example, if you set INT A to interrupt 5 via a BIOS configuration setting, you must also set the jumper on your motherboard to ISA interrupt 5. 2. Usually, the PCI machine supports only two Master Devices. SCSI devices are also master devices.
