PCI Compatibility

Early versions of PCI BIOS do not properly support the PCI specification and may “hang” when a LAN driver tries to load. If this occurs, make sure your BIOS correctly supports the PCI Local Bus Specification (v2.0 or later).

Some PCI computers are not self-configuring and force you to perform some or all of the following functions by motherboard jumper changes and/or BIOS commands:

KVerify that the slot is a bus-master and not a slave PCI slot. In some instances, the PCI slot must be configured to support bus mastering.

KConfigure the PCI slot to support INTA.

KAssign INTA to a free IRQ (interrupt) number.

Consult your computer manual for information on changing motherboard jumper settings and BIOS SETUP parameters for use with PCI network cards. If you set a motherboard jumper and modify the computer's BIOS, make sure the jumper and BIOS settings match.
