To automatically update your server configuration after installing a new EISA
board, complete the following steps:
1. Run the configuration utility from diskette or the system partition.
2. When prompted for the Automatic Configuration, press the Enter key.
You will be prompted for an optional .PCF file. If no .PCF file was
provided with your PCI board, press Esc to continue.
3. When the Automatic Configuration is completed, select Review or
Modify Hardware Settings.
4. The Steps in Configuring Your Computer menu is displayed. Select one
of the following options:
Step 1: Important Configuration Information
Step 2: Add or Remove Boards
Step 3: View or Edit Details
Step 4: Examine Required Switches
Step 5: Save and Exit
If you want to view the configuration, use the arrow keys to select
View or Edit Details, press the Enter
key, and use the arrow keys to
scroll through the available information.
5. When you are ready to exit the utility, select Save and Exit, then press
the Enter
key. This saves the configuration and re-starts the computer.
Removing Boards
System ROM automatically reconfigures the server after a PCI board or
DIMM is removed.
After you remove an EISA board from the server, a POST error message
displays the next time you start the server. Run the System Configuration
Utility to automatically delete the EISA board memory entry.
