ISA Legacy Resources
If you select the ISA Legacy Resources option from the Configuration/Setup Utility
main menu, you can configure non-Plug and Play adapters, which are not
automatically detected by your computer.
You must identify the following ISA
Legacy resources as dedicated to your new adapter so the BIOS does not attempt to
assign them to Plug and Play adapters:
±
Memory Resources
±
I/O Port Resources
±
DMA Resources
±
Interrupt Resources
Each of the options on the ISA Legacy Resources menu opens another menu.
Item
Description
Memory Resources
The Memory Resources menu lets you allocate system
memory regions for an adapter.
The menu lists the
hexadecimal addresses of the available memory regions.
You allocate memory to an adapter by selecting the ISA
Resource setting for an available hexadecimal address.
Be sure to read the documentation that comes with your
adapter.
You might need to make changes to the adapter
to accommodate the selections you make for Memory
Resources.
For example, you might have to move jumpers
or switches on the adapter, or make changes to the
software that comes with the adapter.
I/O Port Resources
The I/O Port Resources menu lets you allocate
input/output ports for an adapter.
The menu lists the
hexadecimal addresses of the available I/O ports.
You
allocate I/O ports to an adapter by selecting the ISA
Resource setting for an available hexadecimal address.
Be sure to read the documentation that comes with your
adapter.
You might need to make changes to the adapter
to accommodate the selections you make for I/O Port
Resources.
For example, you might have to move jumpers
or switches on the adapter, or make changes to the
software that comes with the adapter.
