install your hardware’ click ‘Next’.
10. On the ‘Windows Security’ dialog, to the question ‘Would you like to install this device
software?’ click the ‘Install’ button.
11. Windows should install the driver and reach the
‘Completing the Add Hardware Wizard’ page.
On this page, click the link labelled ‘View or
change resources for this hardware
(Advanced)’ to open the ‘Add Hardware
Properties’ page.
12. On the ‘Add Hardware Properties’ page, click
the button labelled ‘Set Configuration
Manually’.
13. On the ‘Add Hardware Properties’ page, untick
the ‘Use automatic settings’ option.
14. If the displayed resources match the base address and IRQ set on the card’s DIP switches
and jumpers, then click ‘OK’, then ‘Finish’, then tell Windows to reboot the computer via the
usual means (e.g. via the START menu). If the displayed resources do not match the card
then carry on with the following:
15. In the ‘Settings based on’ drop-down list, select ‘Basic Configuration 0001’ (or select ‘Basic
Configuration 0002’ if the card's IRQ jumper has been removed).
16. In the ‘Resource settings’ list, select the resource you
wish to change (I/O range or IRQ), click the ‘Change
Setting...’ button, type in the correct value (the up and
down buttons will not work properly) and click ‘OK’.
When entering the I/O range as a single number (e.g.
300), Windows will pop up a dialog box offering to
correct the setting to a range (e.g. 0300-031F). Click
‘Yes’ to correct the I/O range if necessary. For the IRQ
setting, type in the IRQ as a single number, (e.g. 5 or
10). The IRQ will have to be reserved for use by legacy
devices in the PC BIOS settings. Note that the entered
resource settings will conflict with the PCI bus initially.
Windows will pop-up a ‘Conflict Warning’ dialog. On
this dialog, click ‘Yes’ to keep the new resource setting.
Repeat for the other resources you wish to change.
17. When you are happy with the new resource settings, click ‘OK’, then ‘Finish’.
18. Once the device has been installed (with resource conflicts), reboot the computer via the usual
means (e.g. via the START menu).
19. Once the computer has rebooted, go to the Control Panel and double click on the ‘Device
Manager’ icon to make sure the new device is correctly installed. It should appear under
‘Amplicon Analogue/Digital Counter Timer Cards’ without an exclamation mark indicating that
the card is working.
