Configuring non-Plug and Play ISA Accessory Boards
If you install an ISA accessory board that is not Plug and Play, you will
need to configure the board before your PC can use it. For instructions
about configuring the board, refer to the documentation that came
with the board.
For guidelines on available IRQs and I/O addresses in your PC, refer to
page 119. Some operating systems, such as Windows 95, can display
the IRQs and I/O addresses currently used by your PC. Refer to the
operating system documentation for more information.
Refer to the documentation supplied with the operating system for
details on your operating system’s capabilities and restrictions
concerning non-Plug and Play accessory boards.
Resetting the PC’s
Configuration Data
If your PC is having difficulty recognizing the ISA board, try resetting
the PC’s data configuration. This will clear any old configuration data
that is no longer used. To do this, enter the PC’s Setup program, set the
Reset Configuration Data
parameter to Yes, and restart the PC.
To enter the Setup program, press
F2 during startup.
