Configuring EISA, ISA, and PCI Adapters
Configuring EISA, ISA, and PCI Adapters
Before installing a new device or program, read the documentation
that came with it. Reading the instructions helps you to determine
the steps that are required for installation and configuration. The
following list provides a preview of the actions that might be
required to configure your server.
When installing different types of adapters at the same time, install
and configure them in the following sequence:
1. ISA
2. EISA
3. PCI
Note: During POST, your server automatically configures ISA Plug
and Play and PCI devices.
1. Run the Setup program and record the current configuration
settings.
See “Starting the Setup Program” on page 282.
2. Backup the EISA Configuration Diskette.
See “Backing Up the EISA Configuration Diskette” on page 295.
3. Start the EISA Configuration Diskette and:
a. Record the current settings.
b. Install configuration files (.CFG).
Note: If the .CFG files didn't come with the adapter, see
“Configuration Files” on page 289.
See “Recording EISA Configuration Settings” on page 297 and
“Starting the EISA Configuration Diskette” on page 297.
4. Set jumpers or switches on the server system board.
See “Changing Jumper Settings” on page 249.
5. Set jumpers or switches on the device.
See the instructions that came with the adapter.
