About Plug-and-Play
2. If loading the EMM386.EXE program in your PC's
CONFIG.SYS, you MUST use version MS-DOS 6.22
or above. If you load an older EMM386.EXE program
(below DOS 6.22), your PC will hang up while loading
the network driver.
3. When using NT, set your BIOS PCI settings to MAN-
UAL. NT is not a Plug-and-Play OS, and will not usual-
ly recognize LAN cards if they are set to be automati-
cally detected and configured. If you need to configure
your PC's BIOS in order to resolve an IRQ or other con-
flict with the EtherFast card, there are a few possibili-
ties:
No Changes Allowed
Your PCI may not allow you to change the IRQ value(s)
of the PCI slot(s). In this case, you will ONLY be able
to use the IRQ and I/O values that have been pre-
assigned to each slot. The popular BIOS from Phoenix,
for example, does not generaly allow you to modify
BIOS-assigned IRQ settings.
Jumper Changes
You may be able to change the IRQ & I/O values for a
given PCI slot by setting jumpers on your PC mother
board. Please refer to your PC's motherboard user guide
for specific instructions.
Menu Changes
Your PC may allow you to change the IRQ & I/O values
for a given PCI slot by accessing the PC's BIOS setup
menu. Please refer to your PC's user guide for specific
details. The BIOSs from companies like AMI and
Award are fully customizable from their BIOS menus,
for example.
