Updating Configuration Data
This chapter explains how to update the configuration information in the EISA
Configuration Utility, verify custom/environment variable settings, and build and boot the
operating systems. If your system is configured with a StorageWorks RAID controller
below V3.11, it is strongly recommended that you also update the RAID controller
firmware, as described in this chapter.
Rebuilding EISA Configuration Data
If the AlphaBIOS console firmware detects an error in the configuration, it will prompt
you to accept the default configuration. It will also prompt you if the EISA Configuration
Utility (ECU) needs to be run.
Use the EISA Configuration Utility diskette, V1.9, to rebuild your EISA configuration
data. Revisions below V1.9 will not work with AlphaServer 1000/1000A 5/xxx CPU
modules. It is recommended that you run the ECU from the graphics monitor.
_________________________ Caution ___________________________
There are two variants of the ECU, one for OpenVMS and Digital UNIX and
another for Windows NT. Be sure to use the appropriate ECU diskette for your
operating system.
