General information to read before installing General information to read before installing On all systems: before installing LAN card, go into Bios setup and set PnP OS field to NO. • How to change LAN card configuration if needed (Advanced users only) This is a general advisory on how to forcibly modify resources for ISA and PCI network cards. ISA cards: • For ISA network adapters, start the configuration tool provided in driver kit (See install documentation) • Under CMOS setup, go to Advanced > PnP/PCI ISA IRQ Resource Exclu- sion > reserve an IRQ for the adapter. PCI cards: • For PCI network adapters, go to CMOS setup > Advanced > PnP/PCI ISA IRQ Resource Exclusion > reserve the IRQ for Legacy ISA. • ISA cards can't use IRQ9 • IRQ 9 is reported as being used by ACPI during POST. This is due to ISA's inability to share IRQs. • Using a different IRQ (e.g. 5, 7, 10, and 11) will work. For this: 1 Install the NIC then power up the system. 2 Press F2 to go to CMOS setup. 3 Set PnP OS to NO and reserve IRQ 5, 7, 10, or 11 (explained in installation section) 4 Save the configuration settings and boot to the applicable OS. 5 Follow installation steps. Sound conflict under Win 95 on VLi8 only • On VLi8, LAN cards cause an IRQ conflict with the embedded sound de- vice under Win95. • To solve the problem: Reserve IRQ 5 and sett PNP OS to no. For this: 1 Install the NIC then power up the system
