Tech Bulletin: Using the Disk Interface Board (SCSI Card) NOVELL TECHNICAL BULLETIN TITLE: Using the Disk Interface Board (SCSI Card) DOCUMENT ID: TB.P.150 DATE: 9/12/86 PRODUCT: PRODUCT VERSION: Novell Disk Interface Board SUPERSEDES: NA SYMPTOM: NA ISSUE/PROBLEM It is not possible to use Novell's Disk Coprocessor Board (DCB) as a keycard. The Disk Interface Board (DIB) may be used in place of a keycard for all 86 and 286 systems. Be sure to perform the following steps. 1. Set the switches in both banks to either the "ON" or the "closed" position. (Some banks are labeled on/off and others are labeled closed/open.) This tells the board that no disk drives are attached. In this arrangement the board will still use IRQ-2, DMA-1, and I/O Ports 340-343. The board also has an EPROM socket that decodes at D000:0. 2. The interrupt and DMA channel may be changed by setting the switches in banks S1.5. Select a configuration that will NOT conflict with any other boards or devices that you currently have installed in your machine. The following is a list of possible settings: IRQ-2, DMA-1, all switches set to "ON" position IRQ-3, DMA-1, Switch 3 "OFF," all others "ON" IRQ-5, DMA-1, Switches 2 and 3 "OFF," all others "ON" IRQ-2, DMA-3, Switch 1 "OFF," all others "ON" IRQ-3, DMA-3, Switches 1 and 3 "OFF," all others "ON" IRQ-5, DMA-3, Switches 1, 2 and 3 "OFF," all others "ON" IRQ-2, No DMA, Switch 2 "OFF," all others "ON" IRQ-3, No DMA, Switches 1 and 2 "OFF," all others "ON" 3. If you have the "Enhanced SCSI Adapter" which has been made since June 1985, you may also disable the EPROM decode. This is done by setting switches 6, 7 and 8 in bank S1.5 to the "ON" position.
