Configuring the PCI 10/100 Adapter

PCI Computer with PnP Auto-Configuration

Before installing your Hypertec PCI 10/100 Adapter, try to establish whether your PC has PCI PnP Auto configuration. In most cases, the PCI computer will be configured automatically by the system's BIOS during boot up. The BIOS automatically assigns the I/O base address and IRQ to the card for proper operation.

PCI Computer without PnP Self-Configuration

In rare cases, some PCI computers require additional configuration steps in order to install a PCI adapter. In such an event we recommend the following:

•Make sure that the BIOS is set up correctly. In some PCI computers, you may need to enable the PCI slot by using the BIOS setup program, or motherboard jumper changes.

•Choose a PCI Slot number to use. Remember the PCI Slot number where the adapter card was installed, as you need to set it up as a Bus Master (Enabled).

•Examine the reserved interrupts (IRQs) and/or memory address for ISA adapters. The PCI card will be prevented from using the same settings as the ISA cards are using.
