Notes on Use

Setting for Each Board

Depending on the extended board, there are restrictions on setting for IRQ and ROM addresses. See the manual for each board.

PCI Board

If you use Windows NT, use “Auto Select” in the Setup Menu to set IRQ setting values for extended boards conforming to the PCI specifications.

ISA Board

When setting system environment for an ISA board, check whether or not the disk attached to the board contains the CFG file. The CFG files for a communication board (PC-CH2100) and an ISDN board set (PC-SHT4840-IS) are contained in the ISA configuration utility disk.

If no CFG file is provided, take one of the following actions:

•

•

Obtain a CFG file from the manufacturer or vendor of the board.

Create a CFG file by yourself.

NOTE: Hitachi PC assumes no responsibility for failures resulting from the use of PCI or ISA boards not supported by Hitachi.
