System lockup. Board is not seated
properly. Check that the slot in which your DT3130
Series board is located is a PCI slot, that
the board is correctly seated in the slot,
and that the board is secured in the slot
with a screw; see the instructions in the
DT3130 Series Getting Started Manual.
Interrupt level is
unacceptable. Since DT3130 Series boards require an
interrupt for each device (up to three per
board), you may experience interrupt
conflicts with a peripheral device, such as
a mouse. To resolve this problem, try
using a serial mouse.
If you think you may have an interrupt
conflict between a PCI device and a
device that is plugged into the ISA bus,
change the interrupt setting (usually by
changing a jumper) on the ISA device.
If you think you may have an interrupt
conflict on a PCI device that was not
designed to share interrupts, select a
different interrupt for each PCI slot in the
PCI BIOS. To do this, enter the system
BIOS program; this is usually done by
pressing the DEL key when rebooting your
system. Once in the system BIOS, enter
the PCI/PnP BIOS setup, and select a
unique interrupt for each PCI slot. The PCI
BIOS assigns the interrupt; the device on
the PCI bus does not have control over the
interrupt assignment.
Some network devices do not share
interrupts. If you still have an interrupt
conflict, remove the network device, install
the DT3130 Series board, and reboot the
system. Then, reinsert the network device.
