Port Addresses

Port addresses are configured with the DIP switch block SW1
situated near the PC/104 bus connector on the DFlex-4/104
adapter. DIP switches 1, 2, and 3 select a set of port addresses for
the ports while DIP switch 6 enables or disables a specific status
port address for that set of addresses. Please refer to Figure 4 for
a description and location of the switch block, while Table 2
provides the switch settings for the various port address sets.

However many other devices may require port addresses in your
computer's I/O address space. In most cases the factory setting is
sufficient, but when there is a conflict, SW1 may require a
different setting. Table 1 summarizes typical I/O port address
usage.

WARNING

Do not use a pencil to set the DIP switches as the lead graphite
may short-circuit the switch.
