Reserving ISA legacy resources
If the computer does not automatically detect the new expansion
card the first time you turn it on, start the BIOS Setup utility, go to
the Advanced menu and change the Reset Configuration Data item
to “Yes”.
If you have just installed an ISA card, you may also need to reserve
or exclude the legacy resources (that is, the interrupts and UMB
regions) used by the card. This is necessary so that any Plug and
Play components can be configured automatically and won’t try to
use the same settings. See the
BIOS Setup & POST
chapter for more
information.
Alternatively, you can use the Windows Control Panel to change
the resource settings used by devices:
1. Click the
Start
button in the taskbar, then
Settings
, then
Control Panel
.
2. Double-click
on
System
, then click the Device Manager tab of
the System Properties dialog.
3. Select the device whose resources you want to change, then
click
Properties
.
4. Click the Resources tab of the device’s Properties dialog.
If your device does not have a Resources tab, either you cannot
change its resources or it isn't using any resource settings.
5. Click the resource you want to change, un-check the
Use
Automatic Settings
box, then click
Change Setting
.
TIP
In some cases, you may see a
Set Configuration Manually
button on
the Resources tab. You may have to click this button before you can
change resource settings.
