6.4.3 Configuring EISA Options
EISA boards are recognized and configured automatically. See Table 6-2 for a
summary of steps to configure an EISA bus that contains no ISA options. Review
Section 6.6.1. Then run the ECU as described in Section 6.6.2.
NOTE: It is not necessary to run Step 2 of the ECU, “Add or remove boards.”
(EISA boards are recognized and configured automatically.)
Table 6-2 Summary of Procedure for Configuring EISA Bus (EISA
Options Only)
Step Explanation
Install EISA option. Use the instructions provided with the EISA
option.
Power up and run ECU. If the ECU locates the required CFG configuration
files, it displays the main menu. The CFG file for
the option may reside on a configuration diskette
packaged with the option or may be included on
the system configuration diskette.
It is not necessary to run Step 2 of the ECU, “Add
or remove boards.” (EISA boards are recognized
and configured automatically.)
View or Edit Details
(optional).
The "View or Edit Details" ECU option is used to
change user-selectable settings or to change the
resources allocated for these functions (IRQs,
DMA channels, I/O ports, and so on).
This step is not required when using the board's
default settings.)
Save your configuration and
restart the system.
The “Save and Exit” ECU option saves your
configuration information to the system's
nonvolatile memory.
Return to the SRM console
(DIGITAL UNIX and
OpenVMS systems only) and
restart the system.
Refer to step 4 of Section 6.6.2 for operating-
system-specific instructions.
