PCI Compatibility
Some PCI computers are not self-configuring and require you to perform some or all of the following functions by
motherboard jumper changes and/or BIOS Setup configuration:
• Make sure your BIOS correctly supports the PCI Local Bus Specification v2.1 or later and upgrade your computer
BIOS to the latest version.
• Verify that the PCI slot is an enabled bus-master slot and not a slave PCI slot. In some computers the PCI slot must
be configured to enable bus mastering. Refer to your PC
’
s manual and check the PCI BIOS Setup program to be
sure the PCI slot is an enabled bus-master slot.
• In some computers, you may be required to disable Plug
‘
n Play (PnP) in the BIOS Setup program if resources are
not properly assigned between installed cards.
• Some computers may require you to reserve interrupts and memory addresses for installed ISA cards to prevent PCI
cards from using the same settings. Refer to your PC
’
s manual and check the PCI BIOS Setup program configuration
options for ISA cards.
• Make sure the PCI slot is configured to support INTA.
• Be sure that INTA for the slot is assigned to a free IRQ.
