ISA/EISA Configuration
To create a unique CFG file for an ISA adapter:
1. Insert the IBM PC Server 520 EISA Configuration Diskette into
diskette drive A.
2. Start the configuration utility program.
3. At the main menu, select Step 2, Add or remove boards.
4. At the next menu, select the slot in which you installed the
adapter.
5. At the next screen, select OK.
6. At the next screen, press F5; then, select Create .CFG file.
7. Press Enter.
8. At the Create a board CFG file screen, type in the adapter
manufacturer and description (for example, IBM Token Ring);
then press Enter.
9. Refer to the adapter documentation for information about
specific configuration parameters (such as IRQ or DMA channel)
required for the adapter. Then, follow the instructions on the
screen to enter the appropriate parameters on the menu.
Note:
a. Normally, ISA adapters do not use every parameter.
Most adapters require only a port address.
b. The SVGA video adapter in your server requires
specific memory and I/O address assignments to
function properly. To avoid configuration conflicts,
do not assign the following SVGA memory and I/O
addresses to other adapters or options in your server:
 Memory address space:
AH – C7FFH
 I/O address spaces:
2Eh – 2EFh
3Bh – 3DFh
46E8h
10. After you type in all of the appropriate parameters, press F10.
