10 Installing Your Server Adapter
ENGLISH
Installing Your Server Adapter
The installation procedure depends on which Server adapter you have:
• If you are installing a DIVA Server BRI-2M, follow the instructions below.
• If you are installing a DIVA Server PRI, follow the instructions on page 12.
• If you are installing any other Server adapter, follow the instructions in the
Server Adapters Hardware Installation Guide .
To reduce the risk of electrical shock:
Before you install your Server adapter or remove the cover from your
computer for any reason, disconnect the ISDN cable from the ISDN
network.
Installing DIVA Server BRI-2M
The DIVA Server BRI-2M is a Plug and Play adapter. As such, you do not have to
specify any hardware settings on the adapter.
To install the DIVA Server BRI-2M:
Step One: Insert the adapter into your computer
1. For your safety, turn off the power to your computer and all peripheral
devices.
2. Drain static electricity from your body by touching the metal chassis (the
unpainted metal at the back of your computer).
3. Remove the power cord from your computer.
4. Remove the cover of the computer as described in your computer’s manual.
5. Locate a slot in your computer that has the same bus type as your adapter
(ISA or PCI), and firmly insert the adapter into the selected slot.
To avoid damaging your hardware, insert the adapter only into a slot
with the same bus type as the adapter (
exception : you can also insert an
ISA adapter into an EISA slot). Inserting the adapter into any other type
of slot can damage your adapter, your computer, or both.
6. Firmly secure the adapter with a screw (or clip), to ensure that the adapter
is properly grounded to the computer’s chassis.
7. Replace the cover of the computer as described in your computer’s manual.
Step Two: If necessary, update your system’s configuration
If you installed the DIVA Server BRI-2M into an EISA slot: To ensure that your
operating system can find and communicate with the adapter, you have to update
the system configuration. To do so, use the EISA Configuration Utility (included
with your computer) to add the Eicon Technology EISA configuration file to your
system. The EISA configuration file (
!gdi0009.cfg ) is included on the ISDN
Software Suite CD-ROM under \dos\server\install\bri_2m\!gdi0009.cfg .
