Record number: H163414 Device: D/T6889 Model: M Hit count: UHC00016 Success count: USC0000 Publication code: PC50 Tip key: Date created: O98/04/18 Date last altered: A98/06/16 Owning B.U.: USA Abstract: ISA ADAPTERS DO NOT FUNCTION UNDER WINDOWS NT/95 SYMPTOM: After installing a ISA adapter and restarting WindowsNT or Windows95, the adapter is not recognized, or does not function. This condition can apply to both Plug-and-Play and non Plug-and-Play ISA adapters. PROBLEM ISOLATION AIDS: This tip applies, but is not limited to, IBM IntelliStation M-Pro Series 6889 systems preloaded with WindowsNT 4.0. The error condition will be seen in ISA adapters that default to, or are configured to utilize IRQ 9. The configuration error may also be seen under Windows95. FIX: The error condition can be corrected by one of the following two methods: 1. Reconfigure the adapter to use an interrupt other than IRQ 9. 2. Set IRQ 9 under "ISA Legacy Resources" in BIOS Setup to "Not Available." Windows and WindowsNT are trademarks of Microsoft Corporation.
