Option Card Problems

If you install an option card and it does not function properly,

check the following:

3 .

4.

5 .

6 .

7 .

Is the option card installed correctly? Make sure it is

well-seated in its slot. Check the installation procedure

described in Chapter 6 and also see the instructions that

come with the card.

Did you set the necessary DIP switches or jumpers on the

option card? See the card’s manual for instructions.

Did you set the necessary jumpers on the main system

board? See Chapter 6 for more information.

Did you run the Setup program to redefine your computer’s

configuration after installing the card? See Chapter 2.

Did you install a network option card in your computer?

Some network option cards require your computer to

generate an early input/output ready signal to operate

properly. If you have trouble using your network card, set

jumper JP15 on the main system board to position A to

enable the early input/output ready signal. Then try using

the network card again. If it still does not operate correctly,

contact your dealer.

If you used the option card to add an external device to

your computer, did you use the proper cable to connect the

device to the connector on the back panel?

Did you perform the correct setup procedures for the

software you are using with the option card? See your

option card or software manual for instructions.
