ADLINK PCI-9810 - Manual (Page 28)

16 Installation
3.3 Configuring the Card
As a plug and play component, the card requests an interrupt
number through its PCI controller. The system BIOS responds
with an interrupt assignment based on the card information and on
known system parameters. These system parameters are deter-
mined by the installed drivers and the hardware load detected by
the system.
Troubleshooting
If your system fails to boot or if you experience erratic operation
with your PCI board in place, this is likely caused by an interrupt
conflict (i.e. the BIOS Setup is incorrectly configured). Refer to the
BIOS documentation that came with the system for details.
3.4 Installing the Drivers for Windows
The Plug and Play function of Windows 95/98/2000 automatically
detects the newly installed card. If this is the first time you installed
the card in the system, you will be prompted to search for the
device information source. Refer to the Software Installation Guide
for instructions on how to install the device drivers.
