How to Config Your PCI adapter
==============================

 1. Go to the PCI configuration item in BIOS setup.
 2. Follow the following steps to configure the PCI slot:
    a) You should know which slot your adapter is plugged into.
       Look for the physical location of the slot on your PCI
       motherboard.
    b) Set "this device" to "Enable".
    c) Set "this item" to "Master".
       The PCI adapter MUST be installed in an expansion
       slot that supports "Bus Master" mode.
       Refer to your system documentation to determine which slots
       support Bus Mastering.
    d) Some BIOS Setups allow you to select which interrupt line
       you can use.  In our case, select "INT A" for "this item".
    e) Select an IRQ of your choice, and make sure it does not conflict
       with existing IRQs in use.
    d) Select the "Trigger method" by which the IRQ is assigned or
       routed to the PCI slot.  Choose the "level-trigger" option.
       Multiple PCI adapters can share the same PCI interrupt
       and all must use INTA with level-trigger mode.

 3. Run the diagnostic program found in the driver diskette.
    If a problem arises during the installation, contact your dealer
    for support.



Conflict with Microsoft EMM386
==============================

The PCI adapters can only function with the EMM386.EXE memory manager
program version 4.49 or later. You can verify its version number by
entering EMM386 at the DOS Prompt.

Do not specify the "highscan" option with the EMM386.exe statement
in your config.sys file or your system will hang.

If you run MEMMAKER and select Custom Setup, do not specify
"Aggressively scan upper memory", or it will automatically insert
the HIGHSCAN flag into the EMM386 command line. This parameter cannot
be manually removed once it's installed, doing so will cause the
extended memory manager to malfunction.

How To Update Drivers Manually

After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.

  • Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).

  • If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.

  • Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.

  • Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.

  • Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.

  • From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.

  • Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.

Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
