You
can add multiple IO port ranges and memory ranges to a single device,
but you have to add them one at a time, clicking Add again to bring
up the range entry box as often as you need to. |

Adding Devices |
Tn general, you should only need to add jumpered devices to your
system. These are older, ISA-based cards that your system's configuration
manager cannot recognize. Your config manager should automatically
configure any newer, PCI-based hardware.
To add a jumpered device:
- Get the following information from the user guide that came
with the device: IRQ, DMA, I/O range, and memory range. You must
have all of this information before you can proceed.
- Choose Devices -> Add Jumpered Device
-> Custom to bring up the an Untitled Device panel.
If the jumpered device is an internal modem (external "plug
and play" modems are automatically detected by the system
- you don't have to specifically add them), choose Devices
-> Add Jumpered Device -> Modem. In the
small configuration panel that appears, select a port for the
internal modem from the popup, and click Add.
- For devices other than internal modems type a name (preferably
the specific name of the device) in the Device Name field
of the Untitled Device window; this name appears in the panel's
yellow tab as you type it.
- Select the type of jumpered device in the Device Type
popup.
- Check the IRQ and DMA setting according to the information
in your device's user guide.
- To set IO Port Ranges, click the Add button. In the box that
pops up, type in (or use the up/down arrow buttons) the IO port
range information for your device. You can add as many devices
as you want, but you must add each one separately, returning to
Devices -> Add Jumpered Device as often as
you need to.
- Click the Add button in the Memory Ranges
section and enter the appropriate information in the box that
pops up, then click Done to return to the new device window.
- Reboot your computer. If it hangs, see "Troubleshooting
Jumpered Devices".
