2.3.7 Installing Multiple Boards in a Single Host PC
More than one ADIO board may be installed in a single host PC. Furthermore, any combination of
boards supported by the driver may be installed in a single host PC. Subject to the number of
physical slots and resources, the maximum number of boards supported by the driver is 256.
1. To install more than one board in the host PC, the following points should be checked:
2. Sufficient space is available to mount the required number of boards.
3. Sufficient power is available for all the plug-in boards and adapters. Each PC214E requires
+5V at up to 100 mA.
4. For none plug and play boards, check the base address of each board is set by switch to a
different value, preferably at contiguous even addresses, and with no conflict with other
installed devices. Suitable base addresses for four boards could be 300
16
, 320
16
, 340

and
360

.
5. For none plug and play boards, check that the interrupt level (IRQ) of each board is set by
jumper to a different value, and with no conflict with other installed devices.
Once the boards are installed into the PC and you must follow the steps outlined above to install
the boards into your operating system.
