Checking Your
PC Settings
Before installing the Live50 hardware, you must confirm which IRQ,
I/O port address, and shared memory settings are available for the
Live50 board to use.
1. Begin by checking your PC documentation, then check the
manufacturer's documentation for settings used by any devices
you have added to your PC, such as:
SCSI devices
!
LAN cards
!
Modems
!
Scanners
!
Sound cards
!
2. As you check the manufacturer's default settings, check to see if
you changed any of their default settings.
3. If your PC has an ISA bus, you can then run the Microsoft
Diagnostics program, as described in Appendix A, to check your
PC settings.
Note: Keep in mind that the Microsoft Diagnostics
program may not always report every setting that is
in use. The most accurate way to determine the
settings that are in use, is to check the
manufacturer's documentation.
4. Write down the settings that are already in use.
5. Compare your list of settings that are in use with the default
settings for the Live50.
The default PC settings for the Live50 are:
• IRQ 11
• I/O port address = 0280
• Shared memory space D000-D3FF
If you are installing optional network interface boards, refer to
Appendix C, Installing Network Interface Boards for additional
IRQ and I/0 port address default settings.
6. If there is a conflict, change the settings in your Live50, as
described in Appendix B.
