Furthermore, some systems use the high memory area for BIOS shadowing to improve overall system performance. In order for the Enabler to operate, any BIOS shadowing must be disabled in the address range specified for the configuration window. BIOS shadowing can usually be disabled through the system's CMOS setup utility.

Socket Numbers

The Enabler requires the 232PCC2's socket number to be specified on the command line and the 232PCC2 must be inserted into the socket before the Enabler is invoked. Some vendors number their sockets from 1 to N while other vendors number their sockets from 0 to N-1. For the 232PCC2 Enabler, the lowest socket number in the system is designated socket 0.

Card and Socket Services Software

In order to use the 232PCC2 Enabler for DOS, the system MUST NOT be configured with Card and Socket Services software. If a Card and Socket Services software is installed, the 232PCC2 Enabler may interfere with its operation and with the device(s) it controls. For systems configured with Card and Socket Services, the 232PCC2 Client Driver is the recommended method of configuration.
