For some ISA boards, the Setup utility will not start, and you must remove the ISA board, use the Setup utility to reserve system resources for the ISA board, and reinstall the ISA board. Use the Setup utility to allocate system resources to the ISA non-Plug-and-Play accessory board. Configuring an ISA Non-Plug-and-Play Board If you installed an ISA non-Plug-and-Play accessory board (such as certain modem boards, network interface boards, or multi-port boards) in an NetServer, you must reserve system resources for the board by using the Setup utility. 1. Read the documentation for the accessory board and determine what system resources it requires. These resources may include memory range, I/O port range, DMA channel, and interrupt (IRQ) level. For some resources there may be one value, or several values from which you may select by configuring jumpers or switches on the board. A board may not require resources from all of these categories. If the documentation for the board does not discuss some of these resources, they may not be required, and need not be reserved. 2. Turn on power to the NetServer and display monitor. 3. When you see the message "Press to enter SETUP" appears on the display monitor, press the F2 function key. 4. If a password has been set, provide it when prompted. 5. When the Setup Utility menu is displayed, use the left and right arrow keys to select the Configuration menu. 6. Use the up and down arrow keys to highlight ISA non-Plug-and-Play Devices, and press ENTER to select that submenu. 7. Use the up and down arrow keys to highlight Memory Resources, and press ENTER to select that submenu. 8. Use the up and down arrow keys to highlight the memory block that corresponds to the memory range required for the ISA board you are 77

Configuring the NetServer

NOTE
Pressing the F2 key when prompted should start the Setup
utility. For some ISA boards, the Setup utility will not start,
and you must remove the ISA board, use the Setup utility to
reserve system resources for the ISA board, and reinstall the
ISA board.
Use the Setup utility to allocate system resources to the ISA non-Plug-and-Play
accessory board.
Configuring an ISA Non-Plug-and-Play Board
If you installed an ISA non-Plug-and-Play accessory board (such as certain
modem boards, network interface boards, or multi-port boards) in an NetServer,
you must reserve system resources for the board by using the Setup utility.
1.
Read the documentation for the accessory board and determine what
system resources it requires. These resources may include memory range,
I/O port range, DMA channel, and interrupt (IRQ) level. For some
resources there may be one value, or several values from which you may
select by configuring jumpers or switches on the board. A board may not
require resources from all of these categories. If the documentation for the
board does not discuss some of these resources, they may not be required,
and need not be reserved.
2.
Turn on power to the NetServer and display monitor.
3.
When you see the message
"Press <F2> to enter SETUP"
appears on the display monitor, press the F2 function key.
4.
If a password has been set, provide it when prompted.
5.
When the Setup Utility menu is displayed, use the left and right arrow
keys to select the
Configuration
menu.
6.
Use the up and down arrow keys to highlight
ISA non-Plug-and-Play
Devices
, and press ENTER to select that submenu.
7.
Use the up and down arrow keys to highlight
Memory Resources
, and
press ENTER to select that submenu.
8.
Use the up and down arrow keys to highlight the memory block that
corresponds to the memory range required for the ISA board you are
