3.2 Hardware Installation
Desktop PC adapter card (WL2400-ISA)
Before installing the ISA card, be sure that your system has a free IRQ available. If it does
not, then one must be freed up in order for the card to work.
A. To find current IRQ assignments, follow this procedure:
1. On your Desktop, right click on “My Computer”
2. Select “Properties”
3. Select the tab labeled “Device Manager”
4. Double click on the “Computer” icon
5. View the IRQ list (default listing)
6. Under the “Setting” heading, verify that at least one IRQ is not being used.
7. If all of them (00-15) are taken, then you will have to disable one, for instance, one of your
serial ports. Contact your hardware provider for information on how to do this.
Next:
1. Turn the PC off, remove the case, and take the Dummy Bracket off of an empty expansion
ISA slot.
