Configuring ISA Options
To configure ISA options, follow these steps:
__________________________ Note _____________________________
Do not install ISA cards until after you start the EISA Configuration Utility.
____________________________________________________________
1.
Start up the system and run the ECU, as follows:
•
•
For systems running Windows NT:
a. From the Boot menu, select "Supplementary menu."
b. From the Supplementary menu, select "Setup menu." Insert the
ECU diskette for Windows NT into the diskette drive.
c. From the Setup menu, select "Run EISA Configuration Utility from
floppy." This boots the ECU program. There may be a 10 to 20
second delay in system activity while the system recognizes the
ECU.
•
For systems running Digital UNIX or OpenVMS Alpha:
a. Insert the ECU diskette for Digital UNIX or OpenVMS Alpha into
the diskette drive.
b. At the SRM prompt, enter the
ecu
command.
The message "loading ARC firmware" is displayed. There may be a 10
to 20 second delay in system activity while the system recognizes the
ECU. When the firmware has finished loading, the ECU program is
booted.
If the ECU locates the required CFG configuration files, it displays the
main menu. The CFG file for the option is included on a configuration
diskette.
2.
Add the ISA card configuration file to the configuration list.
Use the "Add or Remove Boards" ECU option to add the configuration
(CFG) file for the ISA option and to select an acceptable slot for the
option.
