5. DO power OFF and then ON (or Reset) the PC. (Please cold start.)
6. Restart System (Windows NT/95/98).
It is very important to keep the JP1 always short in this case. Without running
the hardware configuration program, Io-irq.exe under DOS prompt, the software
configuration program will automatically update the hardware settings of the
board while updating the software settings. This saves the trouble doing
hardware configuration. However, remember to
cold start the system every
time the configuration changed.
Hardware Installation with IO-IRQ Utility
This section is for those who can not use quick hardware installation:
u Install two or more C104P boards in a system.
u Fail to install, due to the I/O address 0xA700 is not available or has conflict in the
system.
u Use operating systems other than Windows NT and 95/98.
Before proceeding the
software installation, detailed in the next chapter, “Software
Installation”, do
hardware configuration to setup the I/O address and IRQ with
“Io-irq.exe”, detailed in the next section.
Remember to keep the hardware settings in mind for the software installation.
The C104P has the following default (factory) settings:
I/O address :
0x180 (Port 1), 0x188 (Port 2), 0x190 (Port 3), 0x198 (Port 4)
IRQ :
10
INT Vector : 0x1C0
Because the ASIC-designed C104P has no switch and no jumper for configuring
manually the I/O address, IRQ, INT vector, etc. of the boards, you
must run the
software utility,
Io-irq.exe, in the driver diskette under DOS system to change the
hardware configuration.
1. Choose a PC that has DOS system inside.
