Installing MC/Xi Boards

Configuring the MC/Xi Board
After the MC/Xi board has been physically installed in your machine, you need
to configure the board for operation in your system. This is done by running the
configuration program on the IBM Reference Diskette.
1.
Insert your working copy of the IBM Reference Diskette into your boot
drive (Drive A) and turn on the computer’s power. Expect an error
message—the MC/Xi board won’t be found in the configuration file at this
point.
2.
Select “Copy an Option Diskette” from the main menu. Follow the
instructions given on your computer screen for copying ADF files onto your
Reference Diskette.
3.
Select “Set Configuration” from the main menu. Then select “Run
Automatic Configuration” from the Set Configuration menu. Auto-Config
will find non-conflicting address and interrupt parameters for the board for
you. If you choose to set the parameters manually, you will be given the
following choices:
Memory Start Address (32K Setting):
0C0000h, 0C8000h, 0D0000h or 0D8000h
Memory Start Address (128K Setting):
FC0000h, FA0000h, F80000h or 0C0000h
I/O Port Address:
F1F0h, F2F0h, F4F0h or F8F0h
Interrupt Select:
IRQ 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10 or 11
4.
Remove the Reference Diskette from the drive and reboot your machine.
This time you should get no error message.
