7. Reconnect the computer power cord, and switch the

computer power on. If the BIOS section of your computer
boot program is Plug and Play compliant, then at power-up
the BIOS will automatically configure itself for the newly
installed DFE-550TX adapter.

NOTE:

Due to a fault in some Plug-n-Play BIOS programs, it

happens occasionally that a newly installed adapter is
assigned an IRQ Number which is already assigned to
another device. In such a case, the conflicting IRQ Numbers

run the CMOS Setup utility, and manually assign a non-
conflicting Interrupt Number to the DFE-550TX.
