The EISA Configuration Utility
All EISA machines are shipped with a bootable EISA Configuration
diskette that contains a software program generally known as the
EISA Configuration utility. This utility is used to automate the
configuration of the motherboard and all option boards installed
in your EISA system.
The EISA Configuration utility must be run every time an
adapter card is physically added, removed, or moved. The utility
operates on the information provided by the
.cfg
(configuration)
files and .
ovl
(overlay) files that accompany the EISA system
board and/or adapter card.
Note
Always refer to the documentation provided with your EISA
system for instructions on adding and configuring adapter boards.
Depending on the EISA Configuration utility supplied with your
system, host adapter configuration will vary; however, the basic
steps include:
•
Run the EISA Configuration utility
•
Copy the configuration and overlay files
•
Select the host adapter
•
Configure the host adapter parameters
•
Configure BIOS and SCSI device
•
Exit the EISA Configuration utility
