4.5.2
Installing ISA Cards
Both PnP and non-PnP ISA cards require specific IRQs. When installing ISA cards, make
sure that the IRQs required by these cards are not previously assigned to PCI devices to avoid
resource conflicts.
Follow these steps when installing ISA cards:
1.
Turn off and unplug the system.
2.
Remove all PnP cards installed in the system, if any.
3.
Enter BIOS Utility and set the Reset Resource Assignment parameter to
Yes
to clear the
resource data assigned to the PnP devices. Refer to section 3.10.2.
4.
Install non-PnP ISA cards.
5.
Turn on the system.
6.
Use Windows 95 or ICU to manually assign the appropriate IRQs to the cards. This
ensures that BIOS will not use the resources assigned to the non-PnP ISA cards.
