Configuring ISA Non-Plug-and-Play Board
If you installed an ISA non-Plug-and-Play accessory board (such as certain modem
boards, network interface boards, or multi-port boards) in an HP NetServer, you
must reserve system resources for the board by using the Setup utility.
1. Read the documentation for the accessory board and determine what
system resources it requires. These resources may include memory range,
I/O port range, DMA channel, and interrupt (IRQ) level. For some
resources there may be one value, or several values from which you may
select by con^guringjumpers or switches on the board. A board may not
require resources ^om all of these categories. If the documentation for the
board does not discuss some of these resources, they may not be required,
and need not be reserved.
2. Turn on power to the HP NetServer and display monitor.
3. When you see the message
"Press
appears on the display monitor, press the F2 function key.
4. If a password has been set, provide it when prompted.
5. When the Setup Utility menu is displayed, use the left and right arrow keys
to select the Configuration menu.
6. Use the up and down arrow keys to highlight ISA non-Plug-and-Play
Devices, and press ENTER to select that submenu.
7. Use the up and down arrow keys to highlight Memory Resources, and
press ENTER to select that submenu.
8. Use the up and down arrow keys to highlight the memory block that
corresponds to the memory range required for the ISA board you are
installing, and press the + or - key on the keypad to reserve it. If the
memory range required for a board spans two or more blocks shown on the
screen, reserve all blocks required by the board. If the memory range
required for the board is less than one block, select the whole block that
contains the range.
9. When all the necessary memory blocks are reserved, press ESC to return to
the ISA non-Plug-and-Play Devices submenu.
10. Use the up and down arrow keys to highlight the DMA Resources item,
and press ENTER to select that submenu.
