ISA Legacy Resources: If you select ISA Legacy Resources from the Configuration/Setup Utility main menu, you can configure non-Plug and Play adapters, which are not automatically detected by your server. 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. Memory Resources Use Memory Resources to 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 Use I/O Port Resources to 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. DMA Resources Use DMA Resources to allocate direct memory access (DMA) channels for an adapter. The menu lists the channel assignments for DMA, which allows I/O devices to transfer data to and from memory. You allocate DMA channels to an adapter by selecting the ISA Resource setting for an available channel. 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 34 Netfinity Server HMM

ISA Legacy Resources:
If you select ISA Legacy
Resources from the Configuration/Setup Utility main menu,
you can configure non-Plug and Play adapters, which are
not automatically detected by your server.
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.
Memory Resources
Use Memory Resources to 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
Use I/O Port Resources to 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.
DMA Resources
Use DMA Resources to allocate direct
memory access (DMA) channels for an
adapter.
The menu lists the channel
assignments for DMA, which allows I/O
devices to transfer data to and from memory.
You allocate DMA channels to an adapter by
selecting the ISA Resource setting for an
available channel.
Be sure to read the
documentation that comes with your adapter.
You might need to make changes to the
