Board Configuration
Before installing the NetWare Driver, the board(s)
should be configured ready for installation. Up to eight boards may
be configured into your system.
This procedure must be performed for ISA boards.
PCI boards are automatically detected and configured by the system.
If you are installing a PCI board, move ahead to Hardware
Installation.
To configure your hardware, perform the following:
Step1. I/O address.
For each board, choose an I/O address that will avoid clashes with
any other hardware you may have in your system.
Step 2. DIP switches.
For ISA boards only, set the DIP switches on the board(s) Default
I/O address (2A0h) DIP switch setting for EasyIO:
ON ON OFF ON
OFF ON OFF OFF
A full list of DIP switch setting can be found
in the EasyIO Hardware Installation
Reference.
Step 3. Jumpers (EasyIO4
and EasyIUO8-M only).
Set the Jumpers - see the EasyIO
Hardware Installation Reference.
