Configuration Considerations (Netfinity 7000 - 8651)

Configuration Considerations

•  Configuring System Resources
•  Configuring the Syst.-Mgmt. Adapter
•  Device Driver Installation

•  The adapter uses only adapter COM B for external  communication, therefore a modem or null-modem  cable must be connected to adapter COM B.
•  If you want to share adapter COM B with the system,  adapter COM B must be assigned one of the  following I/O addresses:

    3F8 (COM 1)
    2F8 (COM 2)
    3E8 (COM 3)
    2E8 (COM 4)

•  If you want adapter COM B dedicated to the adapter  only, you must disable adapter COM B through the  adapter configuration program to prevent the system  from accessing it. The adapter comes configured  with adapter COM B disabled.  The adapter COM A is not used by the adapter. If  you want the system to use adapter COM A, the  adapter must be configured through the adapter  configuration program.
•  Each port I/O address covers eight contiguous  address bytes as shown in Table 1.
•  Make sure there are no conflicts between the adapter  port I/O addresses and interrupts that you configure,  and previously assigned system I/O addresses and  interrupts.
•  The adapter comes configured with I/O address  200-205 and interrupt 5.

I/O Address Ranges (hex)	Interrupts
100-107	3
120-127	4
140-147	5
168-16F	9
1OO-16F	10
200-207	11
220-227	14
240-247	15
26B-26F	-
300-307	-

NOTE: Any listed I/O address range can be assigned with any listed interrupt as long as there are no conflicts with previously assigned system I/O addresses and interrupts.
