Configuring EISA Options
Table 3–3 Summary of Procedure for Configuring EISA Bus (EISA Options Only)
Step Explanation
Install EISA option. Use the instructions provided with the EISA option.
Power up the system and
run ECU. If the ECU locates the required CFG configuration files, it
displays the main menu. The CFG file for the option may
reside on a configuration diskette packaged with the option
or may be included on the system configuration diskette.
Note
It is not necessary to run Step 2 of the ECU, Add or
Remove Boards. (EISA boards are recognized and
configured automatically.)
View or edit details
(optional). The
View or Edit Details
ECU option is used to change
user-selectable settings or to change the resources allocated
for these functions (IRQs, DMA channels, I/O ports, and so
on).
This step is not required when you are using the board’s
default settings.
Save your configuration. The Save and Exit ECU option saves your configuration
information to the system’s nonvolatile memory.
Return to the SRM
console (DEC OSF/1 and
OpenVMS systems only)
and restart the system. Refer to step 4 of the previous section for operating-system-
specific instructions.
