Configuring Eisa Options - Digital Equipment 3300R Service Manual

Configuring EISA Options

EISA boards are recognized and configured automatically. See Table 6-2 for a summary of
steps to configure an EISA bus that contains no ISA options. Review "Configuring
Internal Storage Devices," later in this chapter. Then run the ECU as described in
"External SCSI Expansion," later in this chapter.
NOTE: It is not necessary to run Step 2 of the ECU, "Add or remove boards."
(EISA boards are recognized and configured automatically.)

View or Edit Details
(optional).
Save your configuration and
restart the system.
System Configuration and Setup
Explanation
Use the instructions provided with the EISA option.
If the ECU locates the required CFG configuration
files, it displays the main menu. The CFG file for the
option may reside on a configuration diskette
packaged with the option or may be included on the
system configuration diskette.
It is not necessary to run Step 2 of the ECU, "Add or
remove boards." (EISA boards are recognized and
configured automatically.)
The "View or Edit Details" ECU option is used to
change user-selectable settings or to change the
resources allocated for these functions (IRQs, DMA
channels, I/O ports, and so on).
This step is not required when using the board's
default settings.
The "Save and Exit" ECU option saves your
configuration information to the system's nonvolatile
memory.
