2-2 Smartio C168H/PCI User’s Manual
Step 8: Turn on your PC. The BIOS will automatically assign the IRQ and memory
address.
Note ! Each board must occupy one unique IRQ and one unique memory
address, assigned automatically by the PCI BIOS. You may,
however, use the PC's PCI-slot BIOS setup to manually assign a
free IRQ number. This method, however, is usually not available to
assign the memory address. The IRQ numbers that can be used are
2, 3, 4, 5, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 15. The I/O addresses that can be used
range from 0x0000 to 0xFFFF.
Step 9: Proceed with the software installation, detailed in the next chapter, Software
