EISA Board Configuration
Configuring E/ISA Boards Using Interactive Mode
Setting Switches and Jumpers on an E/ISA Interface Board
When you exiteisa_config or use the show switch changed command,
you see a graphical representation of theswitch and jumper settings that
have changed during the eisa_config session. The
/etc/eisa/config.log file also contains all requiredswitch and jumper
settings for each board in your working configuration. To set the switch
and jumper settings,
1. Print the /etc/eisa/config.log file as a record of all switch and
jumper settings that have changed during the eisa_config session.
2. Warn all users that you will be shutting down the system to configure
the E/ISA board. Then shut down the system and turn the power off.
3. Set the switches and jumpers to their required settings, as
determined by eisa_config. If you are installing a new board, add it
at this time. If you are installing a peripheral device with this board,
connect the device.
4. Turn on all peripheral devices, then the SPU, and reboot the system.
When the system boots, the E/ISA board settings are written to
non-volatile memory (NVM), making the boards fully accessible by
HP-UX.
Moving an E/ISA Board
To move a currently configured E/ISA board,
Step 1. Invoke /sbin/eisa_config and at the EISA: prompt, issue the move
command, specifying the board's current and new slot numbers.
EISA: move current_slot# new_slot#
Step 2. After moving all desired boards within eisa_config, exit the program.
eisa_config will display any switch and jumper settings that may have
changed during the session. Refer to the /etc/eisa/config.log file for
a record of the new configuration, including the required settings.
Step 3. Remove the old device file for the board with the rmsf command.
Step 4. Warn all users that the system will be brought down. Halt the system
with the shutdown command and turn off the power.
Step 5. Set any physical switches and jumpers according to eisa_config
