E.2.2.1 Configuring a PCMCIA on an ISA Bus System
If your system has an ISA (Industry Standard Architecture) bus, use the
following procedure to configure a card:
1. If the system is an ISA bus system, the isacfg utility from the
console must be used to configure the PCMCIA adapter.
2. After the PCMCIA adapter board is inserted to an ISA slot in the
system, turn on the system.
3. To add an PCMCIA option to the platforms with an ISA bus, issue the
following ISA option card configuration command at the console. The
following example uses an AlphaStation 200 platform, but the
commands should be the same in all three ISA bus platforms.
>>> isacfg -slot 1 -etyp 1 -dev 0 -mk -iobase0 3e0 \
-irq0 14 -enadev 1 -handle PCIC-PCMCIA
If the system is already using slot 1, select and unused slot number.
4. The IRQ (interrupt) number must not conflict with interrupt numbers
that are assigned to other default devices on the system. The system
hardware manual usually indicates which IRQ numbers are assigned
to default devices.
5. The recommended IRQ number for the PCMCIA adapter is 14
(decimal).
6. If IRQ 14 is already used, the next best choice is IRQ 10, if it is not
already used by other devices.
7. When you issue the above isacfgcommand, the console should print
out the following line or something similar:
type >>>init to use these changes
8. After reinitializing the console, you can verify that you configured the
PCMCIA adapter correctly by issuing the following command:
>>>isacfg -slot 1
9. You should see the following screen display:
