Problem

How do you install several DataFire Basic ISA adapters in one system?

Solution

• The installation in an ISA computer:

  In order to use several DataFire Basic ISA adapters in one system, the adapters must all be set to a different adapter or controller number. This is done with the jumpers j3 and j4 in the following way:

  Card	Jumper 3	Jumper 4
  Adapter1/Controller0	X	X
  Adapter2/Controller1		X
  Adapter3/Controller2	X
  Adapter4/Controller3

  NOTE: (X= jumper closed)

• The installation in an EISA computer:

  In an EISA system all adapters are set to adapter 1 (= factory default), because the controllers are managed by the EISA system.

  NOTE: An adapter without any jumpers or a DataFire PCI card is always set to adapter 1.
