The EISA Configuration Utility lets you set a variety of
system options through the .sci file. Through this file, you
can notify the system of changes to your hardware and
memory configuration, set and change your passwords,
manage input/output (I/O) ports, and set other system
operating parameters.
Some of the categories do not offer options, but reflect
installed hardware detected by the system. These items
are displayed for your information only; you cannot
change them through the utility.
