Accessory Board Installation Guidelines
For every accessory board you install, the NetServer needs to set aside available
resources to support it. An accessory board typically requires resources such as an
IRQ (Interrupt Request) and port address.
•
The PCI boards use the Plug-and-Play feature to correctly assign the IRQ
resources automatically.
•
ISA boards with the Plug-and-Play feature are automatically assigned
resources such as IRQ settings.
•
Some ISA boards, may require manually setting the resources needed for
the board on the board and in the (BIOS) Setup Utility
Refer to "Configuring an ISA Non-Plug-and-Play Board" in Chapter 8,
"Configuring the HP NetServer," for details.
