Selecting an I/O Base Address
To assist you in selecting an available I/O base address on your system, the
HotWire Diagnostics Utility provides a selection that scans your system to obtain
unused addresses. To compose the list, however, the utility must rely on the
integrity of your installed cards to report their base address usage correctly.
Procedure
To use this feature:
1. Enter Windows.
2. Double-click on the HotWire program icon to access the main menu. For a
complete description of this menu, refer to
Chapter 3
.
3. Select Recommend Base Address from
the Configuration menu to display a list
of unused base addresses.
If necessary, click on
to scroll
the window.
4. Make a note of an available address.
5. Click on one of the following:
— Exit to close the window
and return to the main menu.
— Help to access screen help.
6. From the HotWire main menu,
select File, then select Exit to quit
the utility.
NOTE:
Typically, the utility will detect the card’s base address once it is installed.
Subsequently, when you select Recommend Base Address, the Available
Base Address window displays only that address.
