ISI4608 Quick Start Guide
Introduction
This chapter describes software/driver installation for the ISI cards
when used in Windows 2000, Windows NT4, Windows NT3.51,
Windows 95/98/Me, Novell, Linux, and SCO Open Server 5. 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, you must find the person in your organization who
has this authorization (i.e., password). To begin the driver
installation, login as root. Then go to the section of this chapter that
deals with the operating system you are using.
Installing ISI4608 Software for Windows
2000
1. Turn off the PC.
2. The ISI4608 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 ISI4608 board (the board should be kept in its shipping bag until
used). During installation, handle the ISI4608 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:
