The Fast EtherLink EISA adapter is referred to on this screen by the product number 3C597-TX.

A screen similar to the one shown in Figure 3-5 appears.

In the value set for the I/O Port Address parameter, the 1000 indicates slot number 1. A setting of 2000 would mean slot number 2; 3000, slot number 3, and so forth.

A second dialog box appears.

The Boot PROM, I/O Port Address, and Interrupt Level parameters are for information only.To change them, you must use the EISA conﬁguration utility that came with your computer.

12Use the arrow keys to scroll through the list of settings for that option. Select a setting and press [Enter].

13Continue this procedure with any of the other options.

Refer to the on-line help (press [F1] when the option is highlighted) for more information about each of the settings.

14Press [Tab] to highlight OK. Press [Enter].

You must highlight OK and press [Enter] to save the settings. If you want to use the same settings on other adapters, you can save the conﬁguration settings to a ﬁle. Select Save under File Options in the Adapter Conﬁguration dialog box. For example, type:
