Note
Adapters installed in the server appear
automatically on the EISA Configuration screens
after you copy the adapter's configuration file (file
with an extension of
.CFG) to the EISA
Configuration Diskette. If you want to manually
add an adapter that you have not yet installed in
the server, add it using Step 2 from the menu.
To configure ISA adapters, follow the instructions
on the screen.
