    • Verify that the PCI slot is an enabled bus master slot and not a slave PCI slot. The network card must be installed in a PCI bus master slot. Modern Windows-compatible motherboards generally support bus masters in all PCI slots, so you should be able to place the Barricade PCI in any slot.
  • Page 47 Ensure that INTA for the slot is assigned to a free interrupt (IRQ) number. • Check the BIOS setup program’s PCI parameters for the slot where 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:...
