Software Configuration
Use the information below to assign the card’s interrupt request
level and memory segment address.
Interrupt Request Level
Only one device can use each interrupt request level (IRQ). Make
sure you assign an unused IRQ to the Eiconcard S5x. The usual
assignment of IRQs in a PC is listed in Table 9. You may be able to
make additional IRQs available by disabling serial port 2 and parallel
port 2. Consult your PC manual for details.
Table 9. Usual Interrupt Request Level Assignments
Memory Segment Addresses
Some 16-bit peripheral cards (such as LAN adapters) use memory
windows—areas of contiguous memory which fall somewhere
within one of three 128k memory group addresses (A000-BFFF,
C000-DFFF, and E000-FFFF). If such a card is installed in your PC,
the entire 128k memory group which contains the card’s memory
window is unavailable to the Eiconcard S5x and other 8-bit cards.
For example, if you have a LAN card using a memory window at
C800-CFFF, the Eiconcard S5x could not use any address in the
range C000-DFFF.
You may be able to resolve conflicts by configuring 16-bit cards as
8-bit cards. Check the manufacturer’s documentation for details.
