IBM PC 300/700 - Configuring to use ISA adapters with PCI adapters
Applicable to: World-Wide
Service Information:
Perform the following steps BEFORE installing an ISA or PCI adapter card in an IBM PC 300/700 Series system. These steps do not apply to Plug-N-Play adapters.
1. Power on the system and press F1 when the memory count appears (to access the Setup Utility).
2. Select "ISA Legacy Resources" from the Main Menu of the Setup Utility.
3. Check the documentation that accompanies the ISA or PCI adapter to determine what system resources are required. The type of resources that need to be determined are memory address range, I/O address range, DMA assignments, and IRQ assignments.
4. Select each of the options from the "ISA Legacy Resources" to configure a ISA adapter. Use the "IRQ Resources" selection from the Main Menu to configure a PCI adapter. Follow the steps below to correctly configure the system for the adapter. When complete, return to the Main Menu.
Note:
Read the instructions carefully for the type of adapter being installed. Installation of an ISA adapter is slightly different from the installation of a PCI adapter.
a. ISA ADAPTERS - Change the fields under each of the menu selections under "ISA Legacy Resources" from "Available" to "Not Available" that correspond to the resources that are used by the ISA adapter. For example, if an ISA adapter uses I/O ranges 220-240h, DMA channel 7, and IRQs 9 and 10, set each of these selections to "Not Available" under the appropriate menu of "ISA Legacy Resources."
b. PCI ADAPTERS - If a PCI adapter is installed that uses any interrupts, at least one of the interrupts that can be used by the PCI bus (IRQ 3,5,9,10 & 11) must be set to "Available" under "IRQ Resources" in order for the PCI adapter to operate correctly. Select an interrupt that is not currently being used by an ISA adapter and verify that it set to "Available."
5. From the Setup Utility Main Menu, select "Advanced Setup." Then select "ROM Shadowing."
6. Determine whether the ISA adapter card contains ROM or uses a RAM buffer by using the adapter documentation. If the adapter card contains a ROM or uses a RAM buffer, record the starting address and size of the ROM or RAM buffer used by the card.
7. If the ISA adapter card contains ROM or uses a RAM buffer, disable ROM shadowing for the address range used by the ISA adapter card. Each field under ROM Shadowing on page 4 of the Setup Utility is 32Kb in size. For example, if the ISA adapter card contains a ROM that is 32KB in size and is located at D4000, disable ROM shadowing at D4000-DBFFF.
8. Press the ESC key until the screen appears that allows the changes made to be saved. Select YES and press ENTER to save the changes.
The ISA or PCI adapter may now be installed and tested using the adapter diagnostics to ensure that the adapter will initialize and function properly.
This information is contained in the User documentation that is shipped with the system unit.
