Modifying the Computer's BIOS Settings
To ensure a flawless operation of the PCAN-PC/104 card it is neces-
sary that you adjust settings in the BIOS setup of the computer:
Indicate used interrupts
Deactivate the APIC mode
Note:
Due to a diversity of existing BIOS setup versions for
computers we cannot give detailed instructions here. Instead
we indicate common setting names.
In order to know how to start the computer's BIOS setup please
consult the corresponding documentation. Usually you can enter
the BIOS setup by pressing the Del or F2 key shortly after
switching on the computer.
2.4.1
Indicating Used Interrupts
By indicating the interrupts that are set on the PCAN-PC/104 card,
you avoid that the corresponding resources are automatically
assigned to other devices and that this results in conflicts.
In the BIOS setup itself you can often find the settings for the
interrupts under a menu item containing the text
PnP
. For the
interrupt(s) used by PCAN-PC/104 change the setting to
Reserved
or
Legacy ISA
.
