Technical information
PCI installation tips
Some PCI computers require additional steps to configure a PCI
adapter. You may need to
❑ Reserve interrupts (IRQs) and/or memory addresses for
ISA adapters. 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’ or ‘Disable for PCI’.
❑ Enable the PCI slot and assign an IRQ. In some PCI
computers, you must use the PCI BIOS Setup program to
enable the PCI slot and assign an IRQ. This is especially
common in older PCI computers with the Phoenix BIOS.
❑ Update your PCI BIOS. An updated PCI system BIOS can
correct some PCI configuration problems. Call your
computer manufacturer to see if an updated BIOS version is
available for your computer. Phone numbers for the top PCI
computer manufacturers are listed in the PCI installation
help file on the Allied Telesyn CardAssistant diskette.
The adapter stopped working
without apparent cause.
Try reseating the adapter or try a
different slot.
The network driver files may be corrupt
or deleted. Reinstall the drivers.
Try a different AT-2560TX 10/100 PCI.
