Note: You cannot change the addresses of your Fire GL 1000 Pro. In case of an address conflict, try to modify the I/O address of the add-on card that causes the conflict.

To support the special graphics processor on the Fire GL 1000 Pro the system BIOS will automatically assign a system interrupt to the PCI or AGP slot where the Fire GL 1000 Pro is installed. However, there may be problems if a system interrupt is used for more than one device. In case of problems:

• check your computer's BIOS SETUP, or the system configuration utility of your operating system, for the interrupt assignments. Refer to your PC manual for information on its BIOS SETUP and if possible

• change the interrupt assignment for the Fire GL 1000 Pro, or

• change the interrupt assignment for any other device sharing the interrupt with the Fire GL 1000 Pro

• try to manually change the interrupt assignment for any other device sharing the interrupt with the Fire GL 1000 Pro. Check the documentation supplied with these devices for information on hardware switches for interrupt setting.
