Configuring Expansion Boards
Each time you add, remove, or relocate any EISA/ISA/PCI expansion
board, you need to run the SCU to identify their operating characteristics,
server resource requirements, and slot locations. Based on this
information, the SCU will then automatically assign the proper server
resources to EISA expansion boards, enable PCI boards, and inform you
as to what jumper or switch settings need to be manually set on ISA
expansion boards to avoid resource conflicts.
The SCU identifies an expansion board’s operating characteristics and
resource requirements through Configuration (.CFG) files. These files
contain main logic board, EISA, PCI, and ISA expansion board vital
characteristics and the server resources they require for proper operation.
Before you can configure your server, you must copy the CFG files (and
overlays if applicable) supplied with the additional EISA expansion boards
you installed to either the SCU directory on your hard disk drive or the
SCU diskette that you created earlier.
As an added feature, the SCU creates and stores all setup changes in a
System Configuration (.SCI) file. Afterwards, this SCI file can be used on
any Prioris ZX 6000MP Series that is equally configured and can serve as
a backup to the EISA configuration stored in NVRAM memory. The SCI file
is maintained in your SCU directory on your hard disk drive or on the SCU
diskette you created when you ran ServerWORKS Quick Launch and has
a default name of SYSTEM.SCI.
