Procedure
To set the IRQ switches:
1. Determine the appropriate IRQ for the card. Using the previous table, you
may already know of an available IRQ. It not, refer to your PC documentation
for instructions on how to determine available IRQs. Typically, the available
IRQ settings are 5, 7, 10 and 11. It is common in systems to use the other
IRQs for system devices.
2. Identify the switch to be set on SW2 or SW3 for the selected IRQ using the
previous table (note that the table shows the setting if the IRQ is set to 5). A
switch in the On position selects the IRQ associated with that switch. All other
switches should be Off.
3. Set the switch.
Make a note of the IRQ setting used so you can verify/set the Interrupt No. in the
HotWire Hardware Setup window after the HotWire software is installed.
