EISA configuration from the help menu.
Step 2: Adding or Removing Boards
This menu item provides a list of boards and options in the configuration. You can add, move, and delete
boards from this list until it shows all the boards and installed options in the server, including the boards not yet
physically installed. The SCU automatically detects any EISA expansion boards installed on the server and
configures the server accordingly. The SCU does not automatically detect ISA expansion boards.
Step 3: View or Edit Details
This menu item allows to examine and change the setting of each function and the resource allocated for those
functions. When editting a function or resource in this step, you might have to change the switch or jumper
setting.
Step 4: Examine Required Switches

drivers that need to be installed. These recommendations must be followed exactly, otherwise the server will
not work properly.
Step 5: Save and Exit
