Configuring EISA and ISA Options
Configuring EISA and ISA Options
EISA
Configuration
Utility Whenever you add, remove, or move an EISA or ISA option
in your system, you must run a utility called the EISA
Configuration Utility (ECU). Each EISA or ISA option has
a corresponding configuration (CFG) file, which describes the
characteristics and the system resources required for that option.
The ECU uses the CFG file to create a conflict-free configuration.
The ECU is a menu-based utility that provides online help to
guide you through the configuration process. The ECU is run
from the ARC menu interface.
System
Configuration
Diskette The ECU is supplied on the System Configuration Diskette
that was shipped with your system. Make a copy of the System
Configuration Diskette and keep the original in a safe place.
Use the backup copy when you are configuring the system. The
System Configuration Diskette must have the volume label
SYSTEMCFG.
Note
The CFG files supplied with the option you want to
install may not work on this system if the option is not
supported. Before you install an option, check that your
system supports the option.
Before You Run
the ECU Before running the ECU:
1. Install EISA boards. (You install ISA boards after you run
the ECU.)
For information about installing a specific option, refer to the
documentation for that option.
2. Familiarize yourself with the utility.
You can find more information about the ECU by reading
the ECU online help. To read the online help, start the
ECU (refer to ‘‘Starting the ECU.’’) Online help for the ECU
is located under Step 1, ‘‘Important EISA Configuration
Information.’’
