Adding EISA Expansion Boards
Perform the following steps to add EISA expansion boards to the server configuration:
1) Turn off the server and install the EISA expansion boards.
2) Insert the backup System Configuration Utility diskette into drive A and then soft boot (reset) the
server.
After the server boots, the following message appears:
EISA Configuration Error - Run Configuration Utility
This indicates that the EISA configuration changed since the last time the configuration was saved.
3) Press
[Enter]
to display the SCU main menu and then
[Enter]
again to continue.
The SCU requests to load all appropriate .CFG files for the newly installed EISA expansion boards.
Afterwards, the SCU displays the
Configure The Computer
menu.
4) From the
Configure The Computer
menu, select "Step 3: View or Edit Details," to verify that
all EISA expansion boards were installed and configured correctly.
5) Select "Step 5: Save and Exit," to save the configuration and exit the SCU.
NOTE
An EISA expansion board might require an IRQ to be set. If so, select that board and
choose an IRQ from the list provided. This list displays IRQs that are either not
assigned or can be re-assigned. If an IRQ is selected that conflicts with another
expansion board in the server, a menu appears providing information of the expansion
board that is in conflict, its current settings, and the settings that will change if you
choose to set that IRQ.
Adding PCI Expansion Boards
CAUTION
Before installing a PCI video expansion board, make sure the appropriate PCI slot
options group is enabled. Failure to do so might cause the server to operate
incorrectly.
Perform the following steps to add PCI expansion boards to the server configuration:
1) Turn off the server and install the PCI expansion boards. Note which slots the PCI expansion boards
were installed into.
2) Insert the backup System Configuration Utility diskette into drive A and then soft boot (reset) the
server.
3) Press
[Enter]
to display the SCU welcome screen and then
[Enter]
again to continue.
4) From the
Configure The Computer
menu, select "Step 3: View or Edit Details”.
5) Highlight the appropriate
PCI slot Options Group
for each installed PCI expansion board
and then select
Enable Device
to configure the server.
If an IRQ needs to be assigned for an installed PCI expansion board, select
PCI Interrupt
and
set it to
One IRQ Required
.
Press
[F6]
to display the IRQ currently assigned and + or - to scroll through the remaining un-
assigned IRQs to select the desired one.
6) Select "Step 5: Save and Exit," to save the configuration and exit the SCU.
