Adding Adapters
Installing the Device Driver
5.
Select the Resources tab.
6.
Select Interrupt Request.
7.
Click the Change Setting
button.
8.
Use the Value control to adjust
the interrupt. The range of
available options is
determined by the board type.
If a PCI-bus adapter is
installed, you cannot change
the interrupt.
If all the Comtrol boards in
the computer are ISA-bus,
your options are None, 3, 4, 5,
9, 10, 11, 12, or 15.
Pay attention to the Conflict
information window, as it
displays the names of other
devices using the selected
interrupt.
9.
Make sure the Use automatic
settings checkbox is clear
(empty).
10. Click OK to return to the Resources tab.
Optionally, if it is an ISA controller, select Basic Configuration 2 to run without
an interrupt.
Optionally, if it is a PCI controller, you may be able to use the System Setup
Utility to allocate IRQ lines between the ISA and PCI bus. If the PCI slot does
not have an IRQ assigned to it, the driver uses the system timer for its service.
Use of an IRQ is strongly recommended for port speeds of 115,200 and higher.
11. Click OK to exit the System Properties window.
12. Reboot the PC so that your changes take effect.
