How to Config Your PCI adapter
----------------------------------------------------------------
1. Go to the PCI configuration item in BIOS setup.
2. For legacy computers please follow the following steps to
configure the PCI slot:
a). You should know which slot your adapter is plugged in to.
Look for the physical location of the slot on your PCI
motherboard.
b). Set to "Enable" the field that reads as "this device".
c). Set to "Master" the field that reads as "this item".
The EN1203 or EN1207(-TX/B-TX) Series PCI adapter MUST be
installed in an expansion slot that supports "Bus Master".
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 the field
that reads as "this item".
e). Select an IRQ of your choice; 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 EN1203 or EN1207(-TX/B-TX) 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
or Accton Technology Corporation 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.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Support for 5 Volt PCI Slots
----------------------------------------------------------------
The EN1203 or EN1207(-TX/B-TX) Series PCI-Bus (Fast) Ethernet Adapter
currently supports only 5 volt PCI slots. Future release of the
adapter will support both 3.3 and 5 volt PCI slots.
