EISA Configuration Diskette
Using the EISA Configuration Diskette
You must use the EISA Configuration Diskette anytime you want to
add, move, or remove EISA or ISA adapters. In addition, you might
need to use the diskette to resolve configuration conflicts.
Also, if you disable the serial, parallel, infrared, or diskette drive in
the Configuration/Setup utility programs, you might need to run
the EISA Configuration Diskette, and make the same change. Refer
to the README file on the EISA Configuration Diskette for more
information.
Each time you use the EISA Configuration Diskette to configure
your server, the configuration information is saved in a System
Configuration Information (SCI) file and in the NVRAM configuration.
Only devices that you install and configure correctly appear on the
EISA Configuration screens.
Making Menu Selections
When you start the backup copy of the EISA Configuration Diskette,
an introductory screen appears. Press Y. The Main Menu, Steps in
configuring your computer
, appears. The EISA Configuration
program main menu contains five steps:
1. Important EISA configuration information: This step provides
information about the differences between the ISA configuration
process and the EISA configuration process.
2. Add or remove boards: If the server is configured correctly, this
step provides a list of the devices installed in the expansion
slots. The Add choice allows you to add ISA devices to the
configuration. If EISA adapters are installed in your server, and
you have not copied the .CFG file to the EISA Configuration
Diskette, you are prompted to insert the adapter configuration
diskette into the diskette drive. The .CFG file is copied to your
diskette. If the adapter .CFG file is copied to the EISA
Configuration Diskette before starting the diskette, and the
adapter is installed in your server, EISA devices are added
automatically.
