INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
COMPOSE AGFA PCI I/F CARD
The Agfa card has two jumper blocks for User configuration. The jumper block JP3 is
used for setting the PCI interrupt level or for connection to the ISA paddle-card. The
jumper block JP2 is for setting the PCI configuration mode.
Auxiliary Port (for Multiple-RIP)
The Auxillary Port allows you to connect the Agfa PCI Card to an ISA Slave Buffer Card
in a multiple-RIP configuration. In a multiple-RIP configuration you can connect one
master RIP and up to three slave RIPs to the imagesetter. The master RIP is the only RIP
directly connected to the imagesetter. The slave RIPs are daisy-chained to the master
RIP using the ISA Slave Buffer Board. This configuration requires both the PCI Board
and a Slave Buffer Board in all the RIPs, except the Slave RIP at the end of the chain
which requires only a PCI board.
PCI Interrupt Level
Jumper JP3 is for setting the PCI Interrupt Level You can set the PCI Interrupt Level
manually when you are not using the Auto-Configuration mode. If you are using the
Auto-Configuration mode, make sure that JP3 is set to use INTA.
After changing the Interrupt Level on the card, you have to set the correct value in the
Configuration file for the driver as mentioned in the previous section.If the ISA Paddle
Card is needed, you should use JP3 to connect the PCI card to the ISA Paddle Card.
