Page 22 - Setting Up a New Configuration
Setting Up a New Configuration If your computer complies with PCI BIOS standards, the systemwill automatically allocate the necessary I/O, IRQ and boot ROMaddress resources to the card. Although the SETUP programwill not allow you to change the resources which are allocatedby the PCI BIOS, it will a...
Page 23 - Media Type; Boot ROM Size
Media Type The transceiver setting should agree with the network cablingtype. The program provides two choices: • Auto detection • 10BASE5 (AUI) With the first choice, the card automatically detects the connec-tor in use — either RJ-45 or BNC. The second choice enablesthe AUI connector. Full-Duplex ...
