ISA Setup
All ISA Adapters must be assigned a unique I/O base address. This can be
accomplished by the use of ISA Plug and Play (PnP) or the I/O Base
Address Switch S1 (see Figure 1 and Table 1).
If PnP is not supported by your operating system, or if you are unsure,
place the PnP Jumper (JP1) in the position closest to switch S1. This will
disable PnP and enable the sixteen position I/O Base Address switch (see
Table 1 below).
If multiple ISA Adapters are installed in the same system, a different I/O
base address must be assigned to each adapter. (This is automatically
accomplished if PnP is utilized.) This procedure should be performed
before the adapter is physically installed.
PCI Setup
Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) system architecture has a design
feature termed Plug and Play. This feature automatically detects, identifies
and configures the
currently installed devices each time the system is
booted. Therefore, whenever an adapter is installed (or removed) in a PCI
system, the adapter is recognized and configured immediately upon restart.
