Configuring ISA Non-Plug-and-Play Boards

If you installed any ISA non-Plug-and-Play accessory boards, such as certain

modem boards, network interface boards, or multi-port boards in a NetServer,

you will need to allocate system resources for each of these boards using the

Setup utility.

1. Read the documentation for each accessory board and determine what

system resources it requires. These resources may include memory range,

I/O port range, DMA channel, and interrupt (IRQ) level. For some

resources there may be one value, or several values from which you may

select by configuring jumpers or switches on the board. A board may not

require resources from all of these categories. If the documentation for the

board does not reference some of these resources, they may not be

required, and need not be reserved.

CAUTION Different boards cannot use the same resources. If two boards

require any of the same resources, reconfigure one of the

boards (via switches or jumpers on the board) so that the

boards have different resource requirements.

2. Turn on power to the HP NetServer and display monitor.

3. When you see the message "F2 = Setup" on the display monitor, press the

F2 function key.

4. When the Setup screen is displayed, use the left and right arrow keys to

select the Configuration menu.

5. Use the down arrow key to select the ISA Non-Plug-and-Play Board

option from the menu, and press the Enter key.

6. Use the down arrow key to select the Memory Resources option from the

menu, and press the Enter key.

7. Use the up and down keys to select the memory block that corresponds to

the memory range required for the ISA board you are installing, and press

the F7 or F8 key to reserve that block. If the memory range required for a

board spans two or more blocks shown on the screen, reserve all blocks

required by the board. If the memory range required for the board is less

than one block, select the whole block that contains the range.
