diagnostic program (page 6).

Note on IRQ Settings:

"5" and "7" are recommended.

If "5" and "7" are being used by another device, set

either "3" or "4". Because "3" and "4" are normally used

for serial ports (COM1, COM2), either "3" or "4" must be

disabled in the BIOS settings. (Set to "Disable" etc.) In

this case, only one serial port can be used.

For details on how to set the BIOS, refer to the

instruction manual that was provided with your

computer.
