10 ISA: Ex10Set reports ERROR: ADAPTER NOT FOUND

Ex10Set returns the error message:

"ERROR: ADAPTER NOT FOUND Couldn't detect an EtherExpress(TM) 10 adapter in the system. Make sure the adapter is installed properly or try a different expansion slot"

Many Plug-and-Play enabled systems will not assign system resources to Plug-and-Play ISA adapters if the CMOS setting "PnP OS" is set to YES. If the EtherExpress™ 10 ISA adapter does not have any resources assigned, Ex10Set will give you this error message.

  • If you are running an operating system that does not support Plug-and-Play (such as OS/2* or MS-DOS* without a DOS Plug-and-Play manager loaded), then the CMOS setting "PnP OS" should be set to NO and you should use Ex10Set to disable Plug-and-Play in the adapter's configuration.

  • If you are running a Plug-and-Play operating system (such as Microsoft Windows* 95), then the CMOS setting "PnP OS" should be set to YES and the operating system should assign resources. In this case, Ex10Set should not be needed.

  • If you need to run Ex10Set on an EtherExpress 10 ISA adapter in a Plug-and-Play enabled system, set "PnP OS" to NO in the CMOS settings.

  • To disable Plug-and-Play on the adapter, run Ex10Set. Select Change Adapter Configuration, then Advanced Options. Select Plug and Play, then select Disable. Press enter, then press the escape key. Press F10 to save the changes, then exit. At this point you will have to power the computer off and then back on.
