Host Adapter Configuration ISA Port Address You probably will not need to change the port address, unless you are installing more than one SCSI host adapter, or you know that the current host adapter port address is in conflict with other devices. Your host adapter must not share its ISA port address with any other device on the computer. The default host adapter ISA port address is 340h. The alternate address is 140h. If you change the ISA port address, refer to Chapter 4, Software Support, for information on modifying your ASPI Manager device driver. SCSI BIOS SCSI BIOS is enabled by default on the AHA-1520A/1522A host adapters. This means the SCSI host adapter intercepts all hardware interrupt 13 calls. If the SCSI BIOS is successfully installed, it can support up to two SCSI hard disks. Non-SCSI interrupt 13 calls are passed to the motherboard BIOS. SCSI Boot SCSI boot capability is enabled by default (J5 pin pair BT jumper on). This means the host adapter intercepts hardware interrupt 19 during the boot process. If the SCSI boot process is successful, your system boots from your SCSI hard disk set at SCSI ID 0. If not, hardware interrupt 19 is passed either to another SCSI host adapter or to the motherboard BIOS. Caution: If you are using two AHA-1520A/1522A host adapters, only one can have its SCSI boot enabled. If both host adapters have SCSI boot enabled, your system will hang. ISA BIOS Address You probably will not need to change the port address, unless you are installing more than one SCSI host adapter, or you know that the current host adapter BIOS address is causing a conflict in the system. The default host adapter BIOS address is DC000. Three alternate addresses are shown in Jumper Block J9 (AHA-1520A/1522A) on page 2-7. Each host adapter must have a unique ISA BIOS address. In addition, SCSI BIOS must be enabled as described in Jumper Block J5 on page 2-4. 2-11 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASPCAAAAAArtuHoiAAArncAAAArtkAAAe-SAAAn1NAAApt5AAAeuD1AAAcmAAA0aAAANtAbeAAAeu:/AAAr2mAAA1:0AAA15bAAAA/1eAAA1rAAA0S8:AAA4/e4AAA90rAAA94i0eAAA1-AAAs08AAAU04AAA,2AAAsR-AAAe0AAAre0'AAAvsAAA.AAAGCAAAuAAAAAAidAAAeAAAAAAAAAEAAACAAAAAANAAAAAADAAAAAAaAAAtAAAePAAA: aAAA1gAAA1AAAe/AAA:2AAA29AAA-/AAA91AAA41AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

ISA Port Address
You probably will not need to change the port address, unless you
are installing more than one SCSI host adapter, or you know that the
current host adapter port address is in conflict with other devices.
Your host adapter must not share its ISA port address with any other
device on the computer. The default host adapter ISA port address is
340h. The alternate address is 140h. If you change the ISA port
address, refer to Chapter 4,
Software Support
, for information on
modifying your ASPI Manager device driver.
SCSI BIOS
SCSI BIOS is
enabled
by default on the AHA-1520A/1522A host
adapters. This means the SCSI host adapter intercepts all hardware
interrupt 13 calls. If the SCSI BIOS is successfully installed, it can sup-
port up to two SCSI hard disks. Non-SCSI interrupt 13 calls are passed
to the motherboard BIOS.
SCSI Boot
SCSI boot capability is enabled by default (J5 pin pair BT jumper
on). This means the host adapter intercepts hardware interrupt 19
during the boot process. If the SCSI boot process is successful, your
system boots from your SCSI hard disk set at SCSI ID 0. If not, hard-
ware interrupt 19 is passed either to another SCSI host adapter or to
the motherboard BIOS.
Caution:
If you are using two AHA-1520A/1522A host
adapters, only one can have its SCSI boot enabled. If
both host adapters have SCSI boot enabled, your sys-
tem will hang.
ISA BIOS Address
You probably will not need to change the port address, unless you
are installing more than one SCSI host adapter, or you know that the
current host adapter BIOS address is causing a conflict in the system.
The default host adapter BIOS address is DC000. Three alternate
addresses are shown in
Jumper Block J9 (AHA-1520A/1522A)
on page
2-7. Each host adapter must have a unique ISA BIOS address. In
addition, SCSI BIOS must be enabled as described in
Jumper Block J5
on page 2-4.
