Using the EISA Configuration Utility

Introduction

This chapter describes the major steps for running the EISA Configuration Utility

(ECU). Your system documentation may call this utility the System Configuration

Utility (SCU).

You use the ECU to configure your system's EISA nonvolatile memory whenever you

add or remove EISA controllers. When you boot your system, the system BIOS uses

the contents of the EISA nonvolatile memory to initialize your system's EISA

controllers.

Order of Installation

We recommended you install your subsystem in this order:

1. Run the ECU.

2. Install the RAID controller.

3. Connect the cables and storage pedestal(s).

4. Label and install the disk drives.

To install a second controller (1-channel or 3-channel), repeat the above installation

procedures. If you have two controllers, Controller 1 is the controller that is in the

EISA slot with the lowest EISA slot number and Controller 2 is the other controller.
