Reserving ISA legacy resources
If the computer does not automatically detect the new
expansion card the first time you turn it on, start the
BIOS Setup utility, go to the Advanced menu and
change the Reset Configuration Data item to "Yes".
If you have just installed an ISA card, you may also
want to reserve or exclude the legacy resources (that
is, the interrupts and UMB regions) used by the card.
This is necessary so that any Plug and Play
components can be configured automatically and
won't try to use the same settings. See the BIOS Setup
& POST chapter for more information.
Alternatively, you can use the Windows Control
Panel to change the resource settings used by devices:
1.
Click the Start button in the taskbar, then
Settings, then Control Panel.
2.
Double-click on System, then click the Device
Manager tab of the System Properties dialog.
3.
Select the device whose resources you want to
change, then click Properties.
4.
Click the Resources tab of the device's
Properties dialog.
If your device does not have a Resources tab,
either you cannot change its resources or it isn't
using any resource settings.
5.
Click the resource you want to change, un-
check the Use Automatic Settings box, then
click Change Setting.
Tip
In some cases, you may see a Set Configuration
Manually button on the Resources tab. You may have to
click this button before you can change resource settings.
