Hardware Installation. ADLINK Technology PCI-8136M

2.3 Hardware Installation

2.3.1 Hardware configuration

PCI-8136M has plug and play PCI controller on board. The memory usage

(I/O port locations) of the PCI card is assigned by system BIOS. The address assignment is done on a board-by-board basis for all PCI cards in the system.

2.3.2 PCI slot selection

Your computer will probably have both PCI and ISA slots. Do not force the

PCI card into a PC/AT slot. The PCI-8136M can be used in any PCI slot.

2.3.3 Installation Procedures

1. Read through this manual, and setup the jumper according to your application.

2. Turn off your computer, Turn off all accessories (printer, modem, monitor, etc.) connected to computer.

3. Remove the cover from your computer.

4. Select a 32-bit PCI expansion slot. PCI slots are short than ISA or

EISA slots and are usually white or ivory.

5. Before handling the PCI-8136M, discharge any static buildup on your body by touching the metal case of the computer. Hold the edge and do not touch the components.

6. Position the board into the PCI slot you selected.

7. Secure the card in place at the rear panel of the system unit using screw removed from the slot.

2.3.4 Trouble shooting:

If your system won't boot or if you experience erratic operation with your PCI board in place, it's likely caused by an interrupt conflict (perhaps because you incorrectly described the ISA setup). In general, the solution, once you determine it is not a simple oversight, is to consult the BIOS documentation that come with your system.
