ECU settings for NIC

[mike neary]

I've got a Netserver 5/100 LH, but no clue as to how to configure it via the ECU for a PCI network card. None of the NIC's I've got have any info on what resources they require, so how can I specify them in the ECU to support a card that's supposed to be plug and play? Or am I limited to certain brands/models of cards in this situation?
Thanks for any help.

Mike,

The LH plus has shared resources. Slots 1-4 are ISA slots. Slot 5->7 share, Slot 6 free (recommended for PCI NIC) SLots 8 shares w/ embedded SCSI (DO NOT USE!!!) Slot 9 -->No shares.

Next you can use the ECU diskettes to check your EISA config. Finally here is the tested products list you can compare and see if your NIC is listed.
