NOTE:

If you specify an interrupt for the network board that is already being used by another

 

device, you can still install the network board but the network software will not run

 

successfully.

 

• Base I/O port

 

 

The base input/output port is a channel used by the network board to transfer

 

information to the CPU. Each hardware device included in your client

 

workstation must have a different base I/O port setting. For more information,

 

see the manufacturer’s documentation.

 

The following table shows a list of standard I/O ports and the devices that

 

commonly use them. If a workstation does not have any one of these devices, the

 

I/O port given in the table for that device might be available for other use.
