Option Card Problems

If you install an option card and it is not functioning properly,
check the following:
Is the option card installed correctly? Check the installation
1.
procedure described in Chapter 5 and also see the
instructions that come with the option card. The most
common problem with option cards is a loose connection.
Make sure the option card is well-seated in its slot.
Did you set the necessary jumpers on the main system board
2.
and the SPF card? See Appendix A for more information.
Did you set the necessary DIP switches or jumpers on the
3.
option card? See your option card manual for instructions.
Did you run the Setup program to redefine your computer's
4.
configuration after installing the card? See Chapter 2.
Did you install a hard disk drive that has its controller on
5.
an option card? If so, and if your Equity 386/25 came with a
hard disk drive that you are no longer using, be sure the
cable leading from that drive to the main system board and
the hard disk drive power cable are disconnected.
If you used the option card to add an external device to your
6.
computer, did you use the proper cable to connect the
device to the option card connector on the back panel?
Did you perform the correct setup procedures for the
7.
software you are using with the option card? If necessary, see
your software manual for instructions on running the
software setup procedure.
