Installing ISA Cards

Both PnP and non-PnP ISA cards require specific IRQs.
installing ISA cards, make sure that the IRQs required by these cards
are not previously assigned to PCI devices to avoid resource conflicts.
Follow these steps when installing ISA cards:
1. Remove all PnP cards installed in the system, if any.
2. Install non-PnP ISA cards.
3. Turn on the system.
4. Use Windows 95 or ICU to manually assign the appropriate IRQs
to the cards. This ensures that BIOS will not use the resources
assigned to the non-PnP ISA cards.
BIOS detects and configures only PnP cards.
5. Turn off the system.
6. Install PnP ISA and PCI cards.
7. Turn on the system. This time PnP BIOS automatically configures
the PnP ISA and PCI cards with the remaining free IRQs.
