Installation Guide  
 
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  
 
General information to read before installing  
2 Press F2 to go to CMOS setup.  
3 Set PNP OS to NO and reserve IRQ 5.  
4 Save settings and boot to applicable OS.
