CS8920 Technical Reference Manual

4.2 Adapter Installation and

Configuration

The installation and configuration of the

CS8920 for most network operating

systems is accomplished by performing

the following four steps:

1. Install the CS8920 adapter

Install the adapter in an available

ISA/EISA slot and connect the

appropriate type cable.

2. Configure the adapter

Select the desired hardware settings

and store them in EEPROM using

the DOS-based Setup and

Installation utility.

3. Test the adapter’s operation

Using the Setup and Installation

utility’s diagnostic option, test the

operation of the adapter with the

chosen hardware configuration.

4. Install the appropriate device

driver

Install the device driver that provides

the interface between the CS8920

adapter and your network operating

system.

Note: The installation procedure for

installing the CS8920 with SCO UNIX

differs from the procedure discussed in

this section. Please refer to the

README.TXT file (ASCII text format)

on the “CS8900/CS8920 SCO UNIX

Driver” diskette for the correct

installation of the CS8920 under SCO

UNIX operating system.

4.2.1 Installing the CS8920 Adapter

The CS8920 adapter may be installed in

any available 16-bit ISA or EISA slot.

Be sure to connect a network cable

before running the provided Setup and

Installation Utility or loading a network

device driver.

More than one CS8920 may be installed

in the same PC, limited only by the

number of available slots in the PC,

available system resources, and the

limitations of the network operating

system you will be using. Refer to the

README.TXT file in the root directory

of the “CS8900/CS8920 Setup and

Device Driver Software” diskette for

installation considerations when

installing more than one CS8920 adapter

in the same PC.

4.2.2 Configuring the CS8920

Adapter

The provided DOS-based Setup and

Installation utility is used to configure

the CS8920 adapter card. It allows the

user to select the system resources to the

CS8920 adapter such as an interrupt

number, DMA channel, IO base address,

and memory base address. Once

selected, the specified hardware

configuration is stored in the CS8920’s

EEPROM. There are no jumpers or

switches on the adapter board used to

specify the hardware configuration.

To configure the CS8920 adapter using

the Setup and Installation utility:
