Installing a SCSI/LAN Card

5.

Turn on the system.  The PnP BIOS automatically configures the
installed card with the remaining free IRQs.

Refer   to   you   SCSI/LAN   combo   card   user’s
guide   for   detailed  information   on  SCSI/LAN
functions.

Special Instruction After Installing the SCSI/LAN Card

If you installed a SCSI/LAN card in your system, only PCI cards that
support IRQ sharing function can be installed on PCI slot 4.  

Before you install a PCI card on PCI slot 4, make sure that you do the
following:

·

Read   your   card   documentation   and   check   if   your   PCI   card

supports the PCI IRQ sharing function.

·

Set the PCI IRQ Sharing parameter in the BIOS Setup to 

Yes

.  For

more details on BIOS, see Chapter 2.
