- TITLE :Configuring IRQ of Future Domain 8xx SCSI Controller
- PRODUCT :Windows NT
- PROD/VER:3.10
- OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
- KEYWORDS:

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- The information in this article applies to:
-
- - Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
- - Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server 3.1

- SUMMARY
- =======
-
- By default, the Future Domain 8xx SCSI controller operates with IRQ set to
- 5. If the adapter is configured to use a different interrupt, the
- corresponding registry entry needs to be changed manually.
-
- MORE INFORMATION
- ================
-
- The Setup applet of the Future Domain SCSI adapter does not have a dialog
- box that you can use to change any settings for the adapter. All settings
- in the registry are automatically set to their default values. As a result
- of this, if the IRQ level of the adapter is set to a non-default value
- (such as any number other than five), the system will not start properly.
-
- WARNING: Using the Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious, system-
- wide problems that may require you to reinstall Windows NT to correct
- them. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the
- use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use this tool at your own risk.
-
- Modify the value "DriverParameter:REG_SZ:IRQ=5" in the following way:
-
- 1. Start Registry Editor (REGEDT32.EXE) and select the following subkey:
-
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Fd8xx
- \Parameters\Device0
-
- 2. Double-click the value DriverParameter:REG_SZ:IRQ=5.
-
- 3. Enter the following string
-
- IRQ=<value_nr>
-
- where "<value_nr>" is the new value on which the controller operates
-
- 4. Quit Registry Editor and restart Windows NT (or Windows NT Advanced
- Server).
