EISA Board Configuration
Configuring E/ISA Boards Using Interactive Mode
requirements. Refer to “Setting Switches and Jumpers on an E/ISA
Interface Board”.
Step 6. Physically move the boards.
Step 7. Turn the power on and reboot the system. As the system boots, the new
configuration is written to NVM and /etc/eisa/system.sci.
If the devices attached to the board use drivers known to insf (for
example, SCSI devices), insf creates devicespecial files for them at their
new location. If the driver is not known to insf (for example, if you are
installing a custom board), use mknod to create any required device
special files. Consult the documentation accompanying the board and/or
device for guidance.
NOTE If you are moving a network board, you need to boot the computer a
second time. Use shutdown -r.
Removing an E/ISA Board
To remove a currently configured E/ISA board,
Step 1. Invoke /sbin/eisa_config and at the EISA: prompt, issue the remove
command, specifying the slot number from which you are removing a
board.
EISA: remove slot#
Step 2. After removing all boards desired within eisa_config, exit the program.
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. Physically remove the boards.
Step 6. Turn the power on and reboot the system. As the system boots, the new
configuration is recorded in NVM.
