TROUBLESHOOTING

the network card is installed. Ensure that the slot is configured for level-triggered interrupts instead of edge-triggered interrupts. An example of typical PCI parameters follows:

PCI Slot #:

(slot number where the network card

 

is installed)

Master:

Enabled

Slave:

Enabled

Latency Timer:

40 (range is 20 to 255)

Interrupt Type:

Level-Triggered

Interrupt Number:

(choose any number the BIOS Setup

 

supplies that does not conflict with

 

another installed card)

Note: The wording of these parameters varies with different computers, and not all parameters may be configurable.

Always consult your computer manual for information on changing motherboard jumper settings and BIOS Setup program parameters for use with PCI network cards. If you set a motherboard jumper and modify the computer’s BIOS Setup, make sure the jumper and BIOS settings match.
