  • Page 13: Handling Precautions

    (this is what disables shadow memory.) This is often specified as an ISA shared memory size and an ISAshared memory base but there could be other variations. For the 5136-PFB-ISA, the ISA shared memory size should be set to 16K and the ISA shared memory base should be set to the memory address used for the card (default D000).

  • Page 14: Memory Management

    Installation 2.2.2 Memory Management A memory manager may try to use the address selected for the card. When the computer starts up, the memory on the card is disabled and the memory manager is unaware of it. When you enable the memory on the card by running the loader, a conflict between the card and the memory manager results and the computer may behave erratically or the loader may fail.

There are also several jumpers that must be set to appropriate locations. Refer to section 2.1, Handling Precautions for information on how to handle the card This drawing shows version 1.00...
  • Page 20 Installation Note If your card does not have a Phoenix connector, refer to the note in section 2.7, Connecting to a Network. Caution This equipment is neither designed for, nor intended for operation in installations where it is subject to hazardous voltages and hazardous currents.

  • Page 21: Setting The Switches And Jumpers

    Setting the Switches and Jumpers 2.4.1 Port Address The 5136-PFB-ISA requires 8 I/O port addresses in the host computer. Set the base I/O address using the DIP switches on the card. The default base port address is 250h. Unless there is a known conflict with some other hardware in the computer, do not change the port location from the default value.
