III. Updating the Console Database
________________________ CAUTION___________________________
This section applies to DEC OSF/1 and OpenVMS Systems only. If you have a
Windows NT system, go directly to Section IV.
____________________________________________________________
When you are preparing to add an ISA option such as the AlphaStation sound card to an
AlphaStation 400 Series system running the DEC OSF/1 AXP or OpenVMS AXP
operating system, you must update the SRM console’s configuration database before
installing the option.
The database needs information about the sound card's I/O address, IRQ level, DMA
channel, and driver "handle." (The handle is a name bound to the driver.)
Use the ISA configuration utility (ISACFG) to perform the update. ISACFG is run from
the SRM console prompt (
>>>
).
The following examples show two methods that you can use to update the database.
1.
From the SRM console prompt, type:
>>>add_sound
The above example uses a script command. The actual contents of the "
add_sound
"
script are:
>>>isacfg -slot 2 -etyp 1 -mk -iobase0 530 -iobase1 388
-irq0 9 -dmachan0 0 -dmachan1 1 -handle PCXBJ -enadev 1
2.
If your system’s current configuration requires an IRQ level or I/O address other than
the add_sound script command, enter the command manually as follows (enter the
command all on one line; it is wrapped here to fit on the page):
>>>isacfg -slot 2 -etyp 1 -mk -iobase0 604 -iobase1 388
-irq0 7 -dmachan0 0 -dmachan1 1 -handle PCXBJ -enadev 1
The above example uses an alternate address of 604 and IRQ0 of 7.
To modify the IRQ0 entry of the sound card after you have entered it in the database, type:
>>>isacfg -mod -slot 2 -irq0 7
