Configuring ISA Non-Plug-and-Play Boards
(Optional)
This section describes how to configure the NetServer for legacy or
Non Plug-and-Play (non-PnP) ISA accessory boards.

Reserving Resources for ISA Non-Plug-and-Play Boards

If you have installed an ISA non-Plug-and Play accessory board, you must reserve
system resources for it. Turn on the monitor and the NetServer, and start the Setup
Utility by pressing the [Del] key when prompted.
Press <Del> to enter SETUP
NOTE
Pressing the [Del] key when prompted should start the Setup
Utility. For some ISA boards, the Setup Utility may not start
when you press the [Del] key. When this happens you must
remove the ISA board, use the Setup Utility to reserve system
resources for the ISA board, and reinstall the ISA board.
Use the Setup Utility to allocate system resources to the ISA non-Plug-and-Play
accessory board.

Configuring an ISA Non-Plug-and-Play Board

If you are installing a legacy or Non Plug-and-Play (non-PnP) ISA accessory
board (such as certain modem boards, network interface boards, or multi-port
boards) in the NetServer, you must reserve system resources for the board by
using the Setup Utility.
1. Read the documentation for the accessory board and determine what
system resources are required.
The resources may include memory range, I/O port range, DMA channel,
and interrupt (IRQ) level. For some resources there may be one value, or
several values from which you may select by configuring jumpers or
switches on the board. A board may not require resources from all of these
categories. If the documentation for the board does not discuss some of
these resources, then it may not be required and need not be reserved.
2. Turn on power to the NetServer and display monitor.
3. When you see the following message, press the [Del] key.
Press <Del> to enter SETUP
