3Com Corporation EtherDisk Diskette for the EtherLink II Family System Resources The EtherLink II, and II/TP adapters uses four system resources using defaults as follows: - I/O address range 300h - Interrupt level 3 - DMA channel/Arbitration level 1 - Memory address range DISABLE The EtherLink II/16, and II/16/TP adapters use five system resources using defaults as follows: - I/O base address 300h - Interrupt level 3 - DMA channel 1 - Memory base address C8000 - Data Transfer Mode 16 bit These defaults are used in the diagnostics, within NDIS drivers, and in the case of hardware jumpers, and can be changed. NetWare, on the other hand, has many optional settings to choose from during installation, and therefore has no default. Before you install the adapter, make sure that these settings do not conflict with similar settings on other peripherals. Listed below are commonly used peripherals and the adapter option settings they might conflict with. If any of these peripherals are installed in your computer, check which resources they are using and make sure the EtherLink II options are not set to use the same resources. Other peripherals, not mentioned in these lists, might also cause conflicts. NOTE: The codes in parenthesis following a peripheral name indicates that the information applies only on those types of computers.
