Adapter Installation
This section is designed for those
users who are experienced in the in-
stallation and configuration of LAN
adapters. If you require more detailed
guidance or infonnation, refer to the
"Configuration and Installation" sec-
tion of this manual.
The adapters can be installed in any
available 8-bit or 16-bit computer ex-
pansion slot. 16-bit memory access
will provide the best perfomiance.
Before beginning installation check
the adapter's default 1/0 base ad-
dress, IRQ level and RAM base ad-
dress to make sure that they don't
conflict with another option board
that can not be changed.
1. Set the configuration jumper. The
jumper at W l will set the
adapter's I/O base address, IRQ
14
level, and on-board shared
. memory base address (RAM).
If you can use the default values -
I/O Register range 280 - 29F, IRQ
3, and shared RAM DOOOO - D3FFF
- then there is no need to change
the jumper setting at W l .
2. Set the ROM jumper (W2) and in-
stall the Boot ROM if you are
using one. The jumper should be
set to NONE/SOFT if you are not
using a ROM device.
Refer to "Configuration and Installa-
tion" for more infonnation on
steps 1 - 2.
For more information on installing the
Boot ROM, refer to "Installing the
Boot ROM."
3. Install the adapter board in the com-
puter.
4. Connect the cables.
For more information on cable connec-
tion, refer to "Network Intercon-
nection."
5. Check the adapter and cable instal-
lation by running the diagnostic
program "Diagnose" on the
software diskette.
For more information on running the
Diagnose program, refer to the
section entitled "Diagnose."
6. Install the network software. This in-
volves loading one or more net-
work programs onto both the
server to be addressed and a
specific workstation.
