Installing the Host Adapter
Setting Jumpers
If you need to change jumper block settings, do it
now before you replace the chassis cover. See
Section 8,
Jumper Block Settings
, for details.
In most cases, you
do not
have to change the default
jumper settings. Here are situations in which you
should change the settings:
If you change the default port address by install-
ing the extra jumper on pin pair ALT, you may
also need to change options in the software (see
Section 6,
Software Installation
).
If another Adaptec SCSI host adapter is already
installed in your computer, you may need to
change the interrupt channel and IRQ channel
of the AVA-1515. Interrupt and IRQ setting must
be the same number. If you change the setting
you may also need to change options in the soft-
ware (see Section 6,
Software Installation
).
Note:
If you change the BIOS address,
disable the BIOS, because the host adapter
BIOS supports booting only from the default
port address range.
