Computer does
not boot up or
host adapter not
found

Your PCI bus automatically configures the hardware
resources used by the adapter. Therefore, a resource
conflict (address or IRQ) is probably not the problem.

To solve the problem:

1. Check to see whether the adapter is properly seated in

the PCI slot.

2. Try a different PCI slot.

3. Contact Interphase Technical Service.

No valid

1. Check whether the adapter and associated drivers are

installed correctly. (See

Quick Reference of Common

Tasks on page 181

.)

2. Start the WAN Adapters Setup utility, and check that

the appropriate network layer is present in the adapter
firmware. (From the Start menu, select Programs,
then Interphase WAN Adapters, and then WAN
Setup
.)

Problem
occurring
during data
transfer

If a data transfer problem occurs while loading adapter
firmware, open the Windows NT Event Viewer, and
check for the following warning message:

Warning: <sys>[WNTAdapterInit] Latency Timer lower
than 0x40

If the Event Viewer displays this message and if your
computer stops responding while transferring data,
contact Interphase Technical Service for assistance.
