The E586-ICP/E586-IPE system board
requires
the installation
of the ECU (EISA Configuration Utility), found on the
provided EISA Configuration Utility diskette, for proper
operation of this system board.
The ECU configures the EISA devices and maintains system
parameters by storing them in the Extended CMOS Memory, so
the BIOS can initialize the system and expansion boards
inserted in the EISA slots once you power up your system.
The Extended CMOS Memory is equipped with an internal
battery that needs to be constantly charged. In a small number
of cases, the internal battery may have drained and the
information stored in the Extended CMOS Memory lost during
shipment. If this happens, you will get the message "
EISA
CMOS Inoperational
" when you power up your system.
Simply run the ECU software, bundled with the system board,
to reconfigure the system. Save the configuration and reboot
your system. Refer to the EISA Configuration Utility section on
page 4-1 for more detailed information.
