Legacy Adapters Adapters that are not Plug and Play devices are referred to as legacy devices. The Configuration/Setup Utility Program can help you manually configure legacy adapters. The screens of the Configuration/Setup Utility Program show the resources typically required by adapters: Memory resources I/O port resources Direct memory access (DMA) resources Interrupt resources From these screens you can select available resources for the adapter you are installing. Resources not currently being used by adapters already installed in your computer are set to Available. When you install an additional legacy adapter, set the resources used to ISA Resource. This enables the Plug and Play software to configure around legacy adapters, then you can make the appropriate jumper or switch settings on the adapter. Also, if you remove an ISA legacy adapter, set the resources it used back to Available. This frees up those resources for future configurations. Refer to the adapter documentation for information about required resources. Also, the refer to PC 300GL User Guide for more information about using the Configuration/Setup Utility Program.

Legacy Adapters
Adapters that are not Plug and Play devices are referred to as
legacy
devices.
The
Configuration/Setup Utility Program can help you manually configure legacy adapters.
The screens of the Configuration/Setup Utility Program show the resources typically
required by adapters:
±
Memory resources
±
I/O port resources
±
Direct memory access (DMA) resources
±
Interrupt resources
From these screens you can select available resources for the adapter you are installing.
Resources not currently being used by adapters already installed in your computer are set
to
Available
.
When you install an additional legacy adapter, set the resources used to
ISA
Resource
.
This enables the Plug and Play software to configure around legacy adapters,
then you can make the appropriate jumper or switch settings on the adapter.
Also, if you
remove an ISA legacy adapter, set the resources it used back to
Available
.
This frees up
those resources for future configurations.
Refer to the adapter documentation for
information about required resources.
Also, the refer to
PC 300GL User Guide
for more
information about using the Configuration/Setup Utility Program.
