82350B Software Checks
This section provides guidelines for 82350B BIOS/Interrupts
Settings software checks.
Check BIOS/Interrupts Settings
If Connection Expert reports finding an 82350B card with Serial
Number ffffffff, this is typically caused by PCI cards not
properly being configured. Try the following steps. If these
steps do not work, remove and re-install the 82350B and then
reconfigure the card.
1 Upgrade your system BIOS to the latest version. New
computers often have newer BIOSs available. When
installing new BIOS, ensure the BIOS Installed O/S setting
is set correctly. This determines what software will
configure all the Plug and Play cards in your system. Either
the BIOS or the operating system can perform the task of
querying all the cards to determine their resource needs,
picking a valid configuration for all these cards, and telling
the cards what their actual resource settings are.
