Step 3 Installing the Hardware
For using an extension board under Windows, you have to let the OS detect the I/O addresses and IRQ
to be used by the board. The process is referred to as installing the hardware.
In the case of using two or more boards, make sure you install one by one with the Found New
Hardware Wizard.
Turning on the PC
Turn on the power to your PC.
CAUTION
-
The board cannot be properly installed unless the resources (I/O addresses and interrupt level) for
the board can be allocated. Before attempting to install the board, first determine what PC
resources are free to use.
-
The resources used by each board do not depend on the location of the PCI Express bus slot or the
board itself. If you remove two or more boards that have already been installed and then remount
one of them on the computer, it is unknown that which one of the sets of resources previously
assigned to the two boards is assigned to the remounted board. In this case, you must check the
resource settings.
