Software/Driver Installation
Introduction
This chapter describes software/driver installation for the ISI cards when used in Windows 2000, Windows NT4,
Windows NT3.51, Windows 95/98, Novell Netware, Linux, and SCO Open Server 5 (with informationon the
MultiTech Installation Script and other SCO-related utilities). We also describe installation of MultiTechs
Management Software for use with ISI cards under Windows 2000.
The process of installing a device driver consists of a modification to your system. For this reason, only the "super
user" (system administrator) is allowed to perform the installation. If you cannot login as the root, supervisor or
admin you must find the person in your organization who has this authorization (i.e., password). To begin the driver
installation, login as root, supervisor or admin. Then proceed with the appropriate section.
Installing ISI3334 Software for Windows 2000
1. Turn off the PC.
2. The ISI3334 card must already be installed in an ISA expansion slot in the PC. If it is not, follow the PC manufacturer's
instructions concerning installation of expansion cards. Observe standard precautions regarding electro-static discharge
(ESD) when handling the ISI3334 board (the board should be kept in its shipping bag until used). During installation,
handle the ISI3334 circuit card by its edges and keep one hand in contact with the PC chassis. Set the Base I/O Address
and the Interrupt Request (IRQ) values per the table below:
Recommended Base I/O Address and IRQ Values
ISI3334 Base I/O Address IRQ
Initial 8 port board 210h 10
First 8 port upgrade 220h 11
Second 8 port upgrade 230h 12
Third 8 port upgrade 240h 15
The I/O Address DIP Switch and the IRQ Jumper Block are located in the corner of the card that lies diagonally across from
the ISA bus.
3. Turn on the PC and start Windows 2000.
4. Insert the diskette containing the driver files for Windows 2000 into the floppy drive (the driver files may be on CD-ROM
instead).
5. Go to Start | Settings | Control Panel | Add/Remove Hardware.
Click Next.
6. At the Choose a Hardware Task screen, select "Add/Troubleshoot a device." Click Next.
7. At the Choose a Hardware Device screen, select "Add a new device." Click Next.
8. At the Find New Hardware screen, select "No, I want to select the hardware from a list." Click Next.

ROM). Click OK.
