INSTACAL MANUAL MANUAL
When you insert your PCMCIA card into a PCMCIA slot in the PC (as described in the hardware Users Manual supplied with your board), Card and Socket Services detects the board and assigns appropriate resources to the card such as interrupts and I/O addresses.
INSTACAL MANUAL INSTALL

The file needed is included on the InstaCal and Universal Library CD (or disk 1 of the InstaCal and Universal Library floppy disk set). If not, the user is prompted to insert a disk containing the file. If the file needed is already installed on the PC, this process is automatic. As Windows loads, it detects that new hardware has been added and looks for an information file to properly add the new hardware to the Device Manager. Some operating systems, such as Windows 95 and 98, require more information to properly configure the PCI board in the system. The number and type of resources assigned is determined by firmware on the PCI board you are installing. Once your PCI board is installed in the PC (as described in the hardware Users Manual supplied with your board) and the PC is powered up, BIOS detects the board and assigns resources to the board such as interrupts, I/O addresses and memory mapped addresses. Once the software is installed, the next step depends upon whether you are installing a Plug and Play board, or one that is manually configured with switches and/or jumpers.Ģ.1 PCI & CPCI BUS PLUG AND PLAY BOARDS If you are installing a Plug and Play board, such as a PCI bus product, install the software as described in the following section, shut down the PC and then install the board into the PC as described in the hardware Users Manual included with your board.
