Step 3 Installing the Hardware

For using an expansion board under Windows, you have to let the OS detect the I/O addresses and IRQ
to be used by the board. The process is referred to as installing the hardware.

Turning on the PC

Turn on the power to your PC.
CAUTION
- The board cannot be properly installed unless the resources (I/O addresses and interrupt level) for
the board can be allocated. Before attempting to install the board, first determine what PC
resources are free to use.
- The resources used by each board do not depend on the location of the PCI bus slot or the board
itself. If you remove two or more boards that have already been installed and then remount one of
them on the computer, it is unknown that which one of the sets of resources previously assigned to
the two boards is assigned to the remounted board. In this case, you must check the resource
settings.
