Isa Board Configuration - NEC LE2200 User Manual

ISA Board Configuration

If you want to add a non-Plug and Play ISA board to
your system that is not included in a .cfg file, use the
following procedures to define and add the option board.
It is necessary to define an ISA board to prevent other
boards in the system from using the same IRQ levels,
DMA channels, I/O port addresses, or memory
addresses, that your ISA board uses.
You must run the RCU and add the ISA board to the
configuration before installing the ISA board in the
system, otherwise the resources on the ISA board may
conflict with a Plug-and-Plug board in the system.
BIOS automatically assigns ISA Plug-and-Plug boards
to the next available slot. If the slot displayed in
Step 2: "Add or Remove Boards" is not the actual slot, it
can be moved by using the F7 function key.
Notice: IRQ levels, DMA channels, I/O port addresses,
and memory addresses defined using this procedure
should reflect the same settings defined by supplied
jumpers and/or configuration documents.
