Ctrl+Alt+Del Reset Considerations
If pressing the Ctrl+Alt+Del keys does not reset the 8-port adapter, change the entries in the
ICAPARM.PRM file as follows.
An existing entry where Ctrl+Alt+Del will not reset the card:
#2A 6 1 1 1 7 F E1;
A new entry where Ctrl+Alt+Del will reset the card:
#2A 61 1 1 1 7 ;
Selecting an Interrupt Level
When installed in an ISA slot, the 8-port adapter can be configured to operate on several hardware
interrupt levels.
For optimal performance, each IBM ARTIC adapter installed in an ISA slot should have its own unique
interrupt level.
The next best configuration is to place these adapters on a single interrupt level.
If neither of the preceding configurations is available, choose an interrupt level that can be shared with
a non-ARTIC adapter.
