EISA Configuration Diskette
Using the EISA Configuration Diskette
You must use the EISA Configuration Diskette anytime you want to
change resource allocations, such as:
Adding or removing devices
Moving devices
Changing device function
Resolving conflicts
Adding or removing PCI adapters
Each time you use the EISA Configuration Diskette to configure
your server, the configuration information is saved in a System
Configuration Information (SCI) file and in the NVRAM configuration.
Only devices that you install and configure correctly appear on the
EISA Configuration screens.
Backing Up the EISA Configuration Diskette
Use an operating system command, such as the DOS DISKCOPY
command, to make a complete backup copy of the EISA
Configuration Diskette. Using the backup copy can prevent damage
to the original diskette. Your operating system documentation
provides information on backing up diskettes.
Making Menu Selections
When you start the backup copy of the EISA Configuration Diskette,
an introductory screen appears. Press Y. The Main Menu, Steps in
configuring your computer, appears. The EISA Configuration
program main menu contains five steps:
Step 1
Important EISA configuration information: This step provides
information about the differences between the ISA configuration
process and the EISA configuration process.
Step 2
Add or remove boards: If the server is configured correctly, this
step provides a list of the devices installed in the EISA expansion
