Configuring the Card Hardware

Before you install the card inside your computer, you must set the card’s
physical addresses for the:

ROM I/O expansion area of the host processor’s system memory—so the
card and the host computer can exchange data through the dual-port
interface. This is the base memory address.

host processor’s I/O map—so the card’s I/O devices can receive commands
from the host computer. This is the base I/O space address.

You can have as many as four KTCX15 cards in one computer as long as each
card has different base memory and base I/O space addresses.

To configure these addresses, you set switches on the card. The card comes
factory-set with these default addresses:

Address Type

Address Setting (hex)

base memory

D000:0000

base I/O space memory

220

Important:

When deciding which addresses to use, remember that each card
in your computer must have a unique base memory address and a
unique base I/O space memory address. If another card in the host
computer is using one or both of the factory-set addresses, you
must change a card’s switch settings to an available address.

If you are:

go to:

changing addresses on the card
