Conﬁguring E/ISA Boards Using Interactive Mode

Conﬁguring E/ISA Boards Using Interactive

Mode

You might need to run eisa_config interactively for the following

reasons:

• You need to add, remove, or move an ISA board, which do not have

readable ID registers and thus are not automatically recognized by

eisa_config.

• eisa_config exited from automatic mode with an error message

requiring you to change the choice for a function. See “Changing

Choices for Board Functions” shortly.

• You want to change the choice that eisa_config automatically

selected for a function.

• eisa_config exited from automatic mode with an error message

requiring you to add a board interactively.

• You might want to view your E/ISA conﬁguration for planning

purposes.

NOTE Always run eisa_config interactively before physically changing the

conﬁguration.
