Settings for Each Resource

Ch 2: System Environment Setting

Settings for Each Resource

Referring to the manual of the extended board, either choose or enter the appropriate values. If some value overlaps with the value of an existing extended board, an error message is displayed. After changing the settings for the existing extended boards, make settings for each resource.

Reserving I/O Port Addresses

This utility automatically reserves higher 6-bit addresses by reserving lower 10-bit I/O address area. Although some manuals related to the communication board (PC-CH2100) explain that four 16-bit addresses should be reserved, you can load the configuration file recorded within the utility and then specify the lower 10 bits according to the procedure.

Changing the Settings in Extended Boards

You can change settings in the extended board in use to change the values for the resources in use. This should be done when:

You want to use resources that are being used by an extended board already installed.

You want to change setting values.

NOTE: When you need to install an extended board in or remove it from the system equipment, call the maintenance personnel.

Built-in devices must be added or exchanged by maintenance personnel only. Be sure to avoid removing the cover and installing/removing built-in devices. Otherwise, operation of the equipment shall not be guaranteed.

1.Remove the extended board in advance.

After changing the settings, you need also to change the settings for short pins on the extended board. See the vendor manual of the extended board.

Be sure to avoid changing the setting of the IDE controller, otherwise the programs may malfunction.

2.Start the ICU.

3.In the [ISA Configuration Utility] window, select the board to be changed, and choose the [Modify] button.
