PC Server Advanced Systems Management Adapter - Configuration

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

    3F8 (COM1)
    2F8 (COM2)
    3E8 (COM3)
    2E8 (COM4)

•  To dedicate the adapter COM B to the adapter only, adapter COM B must be disabled with the adapter configuration  program to prevent the system from accessing it.
•  The adapter COM A is not used by the adapter. For the system to use COM A, it must be configured with the adapter  configuration program.
•  Each port I/O address covers eight contiguous address bytes as shown in the below table.
•  Make sure there are no conflicts between the adapter port I/O addresses and interrupts you configure, and previously assigned I/O addresses and  interrupts.

 I/O Address Ranges (hex)         Interrupts
 --------------------------------------------
        100-107                       3
        120-127                       4
        140-147                       5
        168-16F                       9
        188-18F                      10
        200-207                      11
        220-227                      14
        240-247                      15
        268-26F                      N/A
        300-307                      N/A
 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.

•  If you have an EISA Configuration Utility program (called System Configuration Utility on some systems)  go to 'EISA Configuration Utility'.
•  If you do not have an EISA Configuration Utility program, and the system's Configuration/Setup Utility has  the ISA Legacy Resources option go to 'Configuration/Setup Utility Legacy Resources'
•  If you do not have an EISA Configuration Utility program or the Configuration/Setup Utility ISA Legacy Resources  option go to 'Manual I/O Address and Interrupt Assignment'
