Using the EISA Configuration
Utility
The EISA Configuration Utility (ECU) configures your
computer and the boards or options added to the
system.
The ECU does the following:
•
Resolves conflicts between DMA channels, interrupt
(IRQ) lines, I/O port addresses, and memory
requirements
•
Presents the option settings that specify those
parameters
•
Presents settings for other functions that are
necessary or desirable to make the presentation
useful
The EISA Configuration Utility (ECU) does not
set the IRQ levels for PCI adapters. Use the BIOS Setup
Utility, described in Chapter 4, to set IRQ levels for PCI
adapters. You enter these IRQ settings in the ECU so
that the ECU does not assign them to EISA adapters
that have already been used for PCI adapters.
Before you install an expansion board, whether ISA or
EISA, you must run the EISA configuration utility
(ECU) to configure the system.
