The latter is provided to facilitate the hardware installation, only under the circumstances that:

uOnly one C168P board is allowed to install in a system.

uWindows NT and 95/98 are the only operating systems supported.

uI/O address 0xA700 must be free

Quick Hardware Installation

To fully utilize the superior feature of flexible hardware configuration design of the C168P, a quick and easy method of installation is designed for users, which absolutely free the users from hardware configuration effort, i.e., installation without running configuration program: Io-irq.exe. Simply always short the jumper JP1. The software and hardware configuration will be completed at the same time while doing the software configuration.

How to Do Quick Hardware Installation

Users who install only one C168P board under Windows NT/95/98 are strongly recommended to do the quick installation as follows:

1.Short the jumper JP1 on the upper-left corner of the board.

2.Plug the board in PC with the desired system installed, which is powered off in advance.

3.Process software installation, detailed in the next chapter.

This is to specify the desired I/O address, IRQ and INT Vector in the software configuration panel, no matter what hardware settings are on the board. The software configuration program will automatically update the hardware settings. After this, users already complete the whole installation.

4.Shutdown System (Windows NT/95/98).
