SMSC EZ Card 10 - Manual (Page 26)

Configuring the Card in
Older PCI Computers
The card is configured using the host PCI computer's BIOS
setup program. This is done by changing the computer's BIOS
settings. The procedure to do this and the terminology used
depend on the the BIOS you are using.
For example, if your computer uses the Phoenix BIOS, there is a
Device Select field where you are to input the number of the
PCI slot where the adapter is installed (e.g., Slot 3 Device).
Select “Enabled” for the Enable Device field and assign an IRQ
number (the card's IRQ setting is mapped to the BIOS IRQ
setup of the host PCI computer).
Set the Trigger/Routing field to select the Trigger method by
which the IRQ is assigned or routed to the PCI slot. There are
three types of settings to choose from:
• Level/Auto — This is usually the default. Choosing this
option leaves the assigned IRQ free for other uses if the
installed card does not use it.
• Level/Forced — If you are not able get the PCI card to
work properly, choose this option. This will assign the spec-
ified IRQ permanently to the card.
• Edge/Auto — Some PCI cards support this option. Do not
use it with SMC’s EZ Card 10 PCI models.
Notes: These PCI cards can only function with the EMM386.exe
memory manager program, version 4.49 or later. You
can verify the version number by entering “EMM386” at
the DOS prompt.
Do not specify the HIGHSCAN option with the
EMM386.exe statement in your config.sys file or your
system will hang.
If you run MEMMAKER and select Custom Setup, do not
specify “Aggressively scan upper memory,” or it will
