Run the EISA Configuration Utility
Run the EISA Configuration utility as instructed by the EISA
system vendor.
Place the bootable EISA configuration diskette in an operative
drive and reset the system to boot from this diskette. If you have
the Configuration utility installed on your hard disk, reboot your
system and run the utility from your hard disk.
After booting with the host adapter installed, ignore any error
that indicates that an unknown board has been detected in the
system.
Copy Configuration and Overlay Files
The
!adp7771.cfg
configuration file and
adp7770.ovl
overlay file
needed to configure your host adapter with your EISA system are
located on the diskette that came with your host adapter.
The EISA Configuration utility typically allows you to select
among a number of options, including copying new configuration
files. Select this option to copy the
!adp7771.cfg
and the
adp7770.ovl
files from the host adapter diskette to either the
bootable EISA configuration diskette or to the directory on your
hard disk where the EISA Configuration utility is located.
If the Configuration utility does not provide such an option, use
the DOS
Copy
command to copy these files.
Select the Host Adapter
Once the configuration and overlay files have been copied, choose
the option in the EISA Configuration utility that allows you to con-
figure the EISA slot in which the host adapter is installed. If neces-
sary, scroll down the screen until you find a screen that lists the
host adapter and its parameters and looks similar to Figure 3-1.
