CONFIGURATION AND DIAGNOSTICS
Configuring the Card in
Older PCI Computers
The card is configured using the host PCI computer's BIOS setup program. This is done by changing the computer's BIOS settings. The procedure to do this and the terminology used depend on the the BIOS you are using.
For example, if your computer uses the Phoenix BIOS, there is a Device Select field where you are to input the number of the PCI slot where the adapter is installed (e.g., Slot 3 Device). Select “Enabled” for the Enable Device field and assign an IRQ number (the card's IRQ setting is mapped to the BIOS IRQ setup of the host PCI computer).
Set the Trigger/Routing field to select the Trigger method by which the IRQ is assigned or routed to the PCI slot. There are three types of settings to choose from:
•Level/Auto — This is usually the default. Choosing this option leaves the assigned IRQ free for other uses if the installed card does not use it.
•Level/Forced — If you are not able get the PCI card to work properly, choose this option. This will assign the spec- ified IRQ permanently to the card.
•Edge/Auto — Some PCI cards support this option. Do not use it with SMC’s EZ Card 10 PCI models.
Notes: These PCI cards can only function with the EMM386.exe memory manager program, version 4.49 or later. You can verify the version number by entering “EMM386” at the DOS prompt.
Do not specify the HIGHSCAN option with the EMM386.exe statement in your config.sys file or your system will hang.
If you run MEMMAKER and select Custom Setup, do not specify “Aggressively scan upper memory,” or it will
