PCI Compatibility
Early PCI BIOS versions do not properly support the PCI
specification and may “hang” when a network card driver tries to
load. If this occurs, make sure your BIOS correctly supports the PCI
Local Bus Specification (v2.0 or later) and upgrade your computer
BIOS to the latest version.
Some PCI computers are not self-configuring and require you to
perform some or all of the following functions by motherboard
jumper changes and/or BIOS Setup program configuration:
◆ Verify that the PCI slot is an enabled bus-master slot and not a
slave PCI slot. The EZ Card 1000 must be installed in a PCI
bus-master slot. In some computers the PCI slot must be
configured to enable bus mastering. Refer to your PC’s manual
and check the PCI BIOS Setup program to be sure the PCI slot
is an enabled busmaster slot.
◆ In some computers, you may be required to disable Plug-and-
Play in the BIOS Setup program if resources are not properly
assigned between the network card and other installed cards.
◆ Some computers may require you to reserve interrupts and
memory addresses for installed ISA cards to prevent PCI cards
from using the same settings. Refer to your PC’s manual and
check the PCI BIOS Setup program configuration options for
ISA cards.
