Why won't my computer work
after I've installed the UP0/E PCI card?

With some computers, you must do some additional configuring before the PC card will operate correctly: 

1. Find out whether you have the latest BIOS version for your motherboard. If not, obtain it from the PC or motherboard manufacturer (for example, via the Internet). A BIOS update should be performed by experienced personnel only.
2. Check whether the BIOS is configured correctly. In some computers that have a PCI bus, the PCI slots must be enabled in the BIOS. This is often the case with computers with a Phoenix-BIOS.
After installing the PC card, connect your computer to the power supply network and start the setup program. You can usually access this program by pressing a key combination displayed on the screen, such as F1+Del or Ctrl+Alt+S.
Look in the BIOS for PCI slot entries. They can be found in the main menu or under Advanced System Configuration. If necessary, change the settings:

BIOS System Parameters: Settings:

PCI Slot Number Slot in which the
PC card is installed.
Master ENABLED
Slave ENABLED
Interrupt Select a free interrupt
provided by the system
Edge of level Level Triggered Interrupt

(Note: Terms may vary from BIOS to BIOS.)
Save your settings and exit the setup program. Resume installation.
3. If you have problems with Windows 95/98, replace the UP0/E PCI card with another PCI card. When you replace the cards, the BIOS also replaces the two interrupts assigned to the cards. After a system restart, the problem with your operating system may have been eliminated.
