6.4.4 Configuring ISA Options
ISA boards are configured manually, whereas EISA boards are configured through
the ECU software. See Table 6-3 for a summary of steps to configure an EISA bus
that contains both EISA and ISA options. Review Section 6.6.1. Then run the ECU
as described in Section 6.6.2.
Table 6-3 Summary of Procedure for Configuring ISA Options
Step Explanation
Install or move EISA option.
Do not install ISA boards.
Use the instructions provided with the EISA
option. ISA boards are installed after the
configuration process is complete.
Power up and run ECU. If you have installed an EISA option, the ECU
needs to locate the CFG file for that option. This
file may reside on a configuration diskette
packaged with the option or may be included on
the system configuration diskette.
Add the ISA board to the
configuration list.
Use the “Add or Remove Boards” ECU option to
add the CFG file for the ISA option and to select
an acceptable slot for the option.
The CFG file for the option may be on a
configuration diskette packaged with the option or
may be included on the system configuration
diskette.
If you cannot find the CFG file for the ISA option,
select the generic CFG file for ISA options from
the configuration diskette.
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.
