System locked
up. Board is not seated
properly. Check that the slot in which your DT3145
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 starting on
page 17 .
Interrupt level is
unacceptable. An interrupt conflict exists in your system.
The most common interrupt conflict
occurs with a PCI device and a device that
is plugged into the ISA bus. To resolve
this problem, change the interrupt setting
(usually by changing a jumper) on the ISA
device.
An interrupt conflict can also occur if a PCI
device was not designed to share
interrupts. To resolve this problem, 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, try removing the network device,
installing the DT3145 board and rebooting
the system, then reinserting the network
device.
