INSTALLATION PROCEDURE FOR LAVA PARALLEL-EPP/ECP WINDOWS 95/98/Me/2000 A) Setting Jumpers on Lava Card Enter Device Manager by RIGHT-clicking on My Computer from the desktop, going to properties and then clicking the Device Manager Tab. I Input/Output Range a) Open up Ports COM and LPT by clicking on the plus to the left of it once. b) Double-click the LPT1 and enter the Resources tab. c) If the Input/Output Range is set to 0378-037A then set the jumper on for Input/Output Range on the Lava Card to LPT3 278/F. If the Input/Output Range is set to 03bc-03be then set the jumper on for Input/Output Range on the Lava Card to LPT2 378/F. II Interrupt Request (IRQ) Enter Device Manager By RIGHT-clicking on My Computer from the desktop, going to properties and then clicking the Device Manager Tab. a) Double-click computer in Device Manager. b) Find a number between missing in here between 0 and 15. If 9 is missing then set the IRQ jumper to 2. If all the IRQs are being used then you must install our card without an IRQ or DMA (polled mode) so remove the IRQ and DMA jumpers from the card completely and skip part III Direct Memory Access (DMA). c) Reserve the IRQ in the BIOS setup. This description applies to all Lava Cards that have IRQ jumper settings. To correct this situation it is necessary to make some BIOS setting changes. The following steps apply to an Award BIOS version 4.51 PG. Consult your motherboard manual to find similar setting changes and how to enter your BIOS setup. Enter PNP CONFIGURATION SETUP. Change RESOURCES CONTROLLED BY from AUTO to MANUAL. Scroll down to the IRQ assigned to our card and change that IRQ from PCI/ISA PnP to Legacy ISA. III Direct Memory Access (DMA) Enter Device Manager By RIGHT-clicking on My Computer from the desktop, going to properties and then clicking the Device Manager Tab. a) Double-click computer in Device Manager. Click the Circle for Direct Memory Access (DMA) to view DMA resources. b)If 1 is not listed then set both jumpers for DMA (DMA ACK. and DMA REQ.) to 1. If 3 is not listed then set both jumpers for DMA (DMA ACK. and DMA REQ.) to 3. If both DMA 1 and 3 are used then you cannot enable ECP mode for this card: just remove both DMA jumpers completely. THis will enable our card in EPP mode (if you have chosen a free IRQ for our card.) c) Reserve the DMA channel in the BIOS setup. This description applies to all Lava Cards that have DMA jumper settings. To correct this situation it is necessary to make some BIOS setting changes. The following applies to an Award BIOS version 4.51 PG. Consult your motherboard manual to find similar setting changes and how to enter your BIOS setup. Enter PNP CONFIGURATION SETUP. Change RESOURCES CONTROLLED BY from AUTO to MANUAL. Scroll down to the DMA channel assigned to our card and change that DMA channel from PCI/ISA PnP to Legacy ISA. NOTE: The BIOS (CMOS) changes above for both IRQ and DMA are not always necessary. However, it is better to do them to prevent problems in the future. B) Install the Lava Parallel-ECP/EPP card with this method. 1) Set the jumpers on our card to the correct LPT IRQ and DMA channel, then put our card into an ISA slot (with the power off.)( STEP A ABOVE) 2) If you are installing the Lava Card without an IRQ or DMA (polled mode) then go to Add New HardWare from Control Panel and let it detect the card and you are finished after the system reboots your computer (skip steps): otherwise, go to Add New HardWare from the Control Panel and don't let it detect the card. 3) In the Window where it says Select the type of hardware you want to install Choose Ports (COM & LPT) and then then click Next. 4) In the next window for Manufacturers choose (Standard port types). If you are installing the card WITHOUT a DMA channel then choose Printer Port or if you are installing it WITH a DMA channel then choose ECP Printer Port for Port Types. Note what kind of Printer Port you have chosen for step 8) below. 5) Click Next and then Finish. When the system asks to Reboot, DON'T!!!!! (Click no). 6) Go to Start | Settings | Control Panel | System and enter the Device Manager tab. 7) Double-click the Printer port with the exclamation mark and enter Resources. 8) If you have chosen ECP Printer Port, uncheck Use Automatic Settings, then choose Basic Configuration 2 and configure the LavaPort to the correct I/O address (by highlighting Input Output Range and clicking Change Setting and then scrolling up to the resource you set the card to by jumpers). Configure the IRQ (by highlighting Interrupt Request and clicking Change Setting and then scrolling up to the resource you set our card to by jumpers NOTE: If you have set our card to IRQ 2 by jumpers then choose 9 in here (IRQ2 is a cascade to 9) and DMA channel (by highlighting Direct Memory Access DMA) and clicking Change Setting and then scrolling up to the resource you set our card to by jumpers). If you have chosen Printer Port uncheck Use Automatic Settings and choose Basic Configuration 1 and configure the LavaPort to the correct I/O address (by highlighting Input/Output Range and clicking Change Setting and then scrolling up to the resource you set our card to by jumpers), and IRQ (by highlighting Interrupt Request and clicking Change Setting and then scrolling up to resource you set our card to by jumpers NOTE: If you have set our card to IRQ 2 by the jumper then choose 9 in here (IRQ2 is a cascade to 9). 9) Click Ok and Ok and let Windows restart. 10) Verify that our port has installed by going to Device Manager and clicking Ports (COM & LPT). If you have LPT1 and LPT2 then you have successfully installed our card!
