The 

 hardware appears in Device Manager in two 

places: under the Multi-function Adapters tree and as part of the 
Ports tree. Please note that any changes to the Resources (I/O 
Address & IRQ) used by any one of the eight ports on the Octopus-
550 must be made through the Resources page of the appropriate 
Octopus-550 PARENT – not through the individual Ports pages.

Modifying I/O Address and IRQ Resources is NOT 

recommended.
