Running the Computer's Setup Program
Normally, PCI-bus computers automatically configure the
AHA-3940U/3940UW/3940UWD IRQ, port address, and BIOS
address. In some cases, depending on what kind of motherboard
BIOS your computer uses, you may need to run the computer's
Setup program to enable the PCI bus parameters before your com-
puter can recognize the host adapter.
If your host computer does not recognize the host adapter after you
install it, enter the Setup program and check for PCI configuration
parameters. Usually you start the Setup program by pressing a key
or key combination when your computer boots and the host
computer BIOS message appears. The BIOS message normally states
the key or keys you must press to enter the Setup program. If you
are not sure, check the documentation for your computer.
If your computer has a combination of ISA (or EISA) boards and PCI
boards, you may need to configure the settings so that the IRQs used
by ISA/EISA boards are marked as Used and the PCI bus does not
try to assign them to other PCI boards. Also, some BIOS's reserve a
set of available IRQs for PCI boards, and you have to assign these
IRQs manually.
Read the documentation for your computer's Setup program to find
out more about configuration issues.
