IMPORTANT: Before starting note the following:

•Take a few minutes now and read this manual before installing your IO Turbo Series adapter. Doing so may prevent difficulties later. Our customer support experience has shown that many costly and time- consuming calls to our technical support staff can be avoided with closer attention to the information provided here.

•Because of differences in Plug and Play systems, and the resources available in your computer, you may find it necessary to change the resources assigned to the Boca I/O adapter . Your computer has 16 IRQs available, IRQ 0 through IRQ 15. Each of the high speed serial ports on the Boca I/O adapter requires an IRQ and the parallel ports will also each need one if you need to support bi-directional mode. If you have other devices installed in your computer, you may need to manually redistribute the resources among the devices. See suggestions for changing the resources assigned to your new I/O adapter on page 23.

•Windows 98/95 Users: Check your system’s IRQs and their assigned devices. Do this by double-clicking on “Computer” at the top of the Device Manager list, then select the Properties button. This will display IRQs and their assigned devices. Make a note of how many IRQs are missing. This is the number of new ports your system can support. If the adapter has more ports than available IRQs, you will have to disable these excess ports as suggested on p. 23.
