Configuring ISA Options

ISA boards are configured manually, whereas EISA boards are configured through the
ECU software. See Table 6-3 for a summary of steps to configure an EISA bus that
contains both EISA and ISA options. Review the section "Configuring Internal Storage
Devices." Then run the ECU as described in the section "External SCSI Expansion."

Explanation
Use the instructions provided with the EISA option.
ISA boards are installed after the configuration
process is complete.
If you have installed an EISA option, the ECU needs
to locate the CFG file for that option. This file may
reside on a configuration diskette packaged with the
option or may be included on the system configuration
diskette.
Use the "Add or Remove Boards" ECU option to add
the CFG file for the ISA option and to select an
acceptable slot for the option.
The CFG file for the option may be on a configuration
diskette packaged with the option or may be included
on the system configuration diskette.
If you cannot find the CFG file for the ISA option,
select the generic CFG file for ISA options from the
configuration diskette.
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.
