• Take a few minutes now and read this manual before installing your
IO Turbo Series adapter. Doing so may prevent difficulties later. Our
customer support experience has shown that many costly and time-
consuming calls to our technical support staff can be avoided with
closer attention to the information provided here.
• Because of differences in Plug and Play systems, and the resources
available in your computer, you may find it necessary to change the
resources assigned to the Boca I/O adapter . Your computer has 16
IRQs available, IRQ 0 through IRQ 15. Each of the high speed serial
ports on the Boca I/O adapter requires an IRQ and the parallel ports
will also each need one if you need to support bi-directional mode. If
you have other devices installed in your computer, you may need to
manually redistribute the resources among the devices. See
suggestions for changing the resources assigned to your new I/O
adapter on page 23.

devices. Do this by double-clicking on “Computer” “Computer” “Computer” “Computer” “Computer” at the top of the
Device Manager list, then select the Properties button. This will
display IRQs and their assigned devices. Make a note of how many
IRQs are missing. This is the number of new ports your system can
support. If the adapter has more ports than available IRQs, you will
have to disable these excess ports as suggested on p. 23.
