If your computer allows you to set up configuration options when the
computer first boots up (that is, through CMOS setup), are the follow-
ing options set up as specified?
If there is an Interrupt Type or Interrupt Line option in the Setup
program, select
Int-A
or
Interrupt Type = A
(you may also be
required to change a motherboard jumper setting).
If there is a Triggering Interrupt option, select
Level
.
If there is an option to enable or disable bus mastering for the PCI
slots, select
Enabled
.
If there is an option to enable or disable individual PCI slots, be sure
the slot in which you install the SCSI Card 2940UW Pro is
Enabled.
If your computer has a combination of ISA (or EISA) boards and PCI
boards, you may need to mark the IRQs used by ISA/EISA boards as
Used so the computer BIOS will not try to assign these IRQs to other
PCI boards.
In some computers, the BIOS reserves a set of available IRQs for PCI
boards, and you have to assign these IRQs manually.
