1. Introduction
The RC-PCI2-32 is a Riser Card, which changes the PCI card insert direction
from vertical to horizontal and also expands PCI slot up to three. In order to
install the RC-PCI2-32 on your motherboard, you need to configure the
mini-jumpers on RC-PCI2-32 by following the procedures in the next section
(Installation Procedures). For your convince, a device number scanning
software is provided as a tool for setting up the mini -jumpers and once the
installation is done, RC-PCI2-32 could be treated as a part of your
motherboard. Which means you don’t have to re -install or re-configure the
RC-PCI2-32 while you are operating (power -on/power-off) the motherboard.
The RC-PCI2 -32 has been tested with full loading (Two Ethernet LAN cards
loaded in all slots) performs very well and stable at maximum speed.
2. Installation Guide
2.1 Scanning the First Device Number
Step 1. Power-off motherboard (system board)
Step 2. Connect a PCI peripheral card into the first slot of RC-PCI2-32. The first slot is the
one next to the RC-PCI2-32 card’s golden finder (Fig.1).
Step 3. Plug the above-prepared RC-PCI2-32 card into the motherboard (system board)
Step 4. Power-on the system board and enter the DOS mode. Using a DOS system diskette
in drive A as the boot system is strongly recommended.
Step 5. In DOS prompt, execute the scanning software (PCI.EXE). The first slot’s device
number (DN#1) and other PCI devices’ DNs will be shown on screen. Keep these DNs for
proceeding the following steps.

2.2 Mapping the Second Device Numbers
Step 6. Power-off motherboard (system board)
Step 7. Connect another PCI peripheral card into the second slot of RC-PCI2-32. The
second slot (slot 2) is the one next to the first slot. Note that the mini-jumper for slot 2 is
mini-jumper 1 (Fig.1).
Step 8. Power-on motherboard (system board) again
Should you find nothing appearing on screen after booting up your system in normal start
up time, it could be the DN conflicting. Please turn off the power and reset the
mini-jumper 2 to the next position, and then power-on again. Supposed the mini-jumper
is set at position A, you could try to reposition it at position B. If B doesn’t work, try
position C, and so forth until DOS prompt is shown.
Step 9. Execute the scanning software again, the second DN (DN#2) will be listed on screen.
Suppose the mini-jumper is set at position A as the diagram shown below, and the DN#2
detected by the scanning software is 2, which tells A=2. Because mini-jumpers are in the
sequence as A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K and L, so the mapping for all mini-jumpers are
(Fig.2):
K=12 I=10 G=8 E=6 C=4 A=2
L=13 J=11 H=9 F=7 D=5 B=3

2.3 Setting the Second/Third Slot Mini-Jumpers
Step. 10 Power-off motherboard (system board) and unplug RC-PCI2-32 from motherboard.
Step. 11 The rule for setting mini-jumper 1 is:
Supposed that DN#1 = X,
DN#2 should be any number chosen of X-1, X-5, X-9, X+3, X+7, X+11
But, please be noted that DN#2 and can not set to those numbers already been
occupied by other PCI devices.
Please place your mini-jumper at the proper position.
For example, say DN#1=9 and 0,7, 8 are occupied, then DN#2 could be 4 or 12.
Step 12. Re-plug RC-PCI2-32 back to system board and done.
