PCI Compatibility

Some PCI computers are not self-configuring and require you to perform some or all of the following functions by

motherboard jumper changes and/or BIOS Setup configuration:

• Make sure your BIOS correctly supports the PCI Local Bus Specification v2.1 or later and upgrade your computer

BIOS to the latest version.

• Verify that the PCI slot is an enabled bus-master slot and not a slave PCI slot. In some computers the PCI slot must

be configured to enable bus mastering. Refer to your PC’s manual and check the PCI BIOS Setup program to be

sure the PCI slot is an enabled bus-master slot.

• In some computers, you may be required to disable Plug ‘n Play (PnP) in the BIOS Setup program if resources are

not properly assigned between installed cards.

• Some computers may require you to reserve interrupts and memory addresses for installed ISA cards to prevent PCI

cards from using the same settings. Refer to your PC’s manual and check the PCI BIOS Setup program configuration

options for ISA cards.

• Make sure the PCI slot is configured to support INTA.

• Be sure that INTA for the slot is assigned to a free IRQ.
