Configuring the Host Adapter
A configuration diskette containing an EISA Configura-
tion Utility (ECU) is normally supplied by the EISA sys-
tem vendor. Depending on the ECU supplied with your
system, host adapter configuration will vary. The basic
steps involved in running the ECU are explained in this
section.
Note:
Always refer to the documentation provided with
your EISA system for instructions on adding and configur-
ing adapter boards.
Run the EISA Configuration Utility
Place the bootable configuration diskette in an operative
drive and reset the system to boot from this diskette. Run
the ECU as instructed by the EISA system vendor.
After booting with the host adapter installed, ignore any
error that indicates that an unknown board has been
detected in the system.
Copy Configuration and Overlay Files
The !adp7771.cfg configuration file and adp7770.ovl over-
lay file needed to configure your host adapter with your
EISA system are located on the diskette that came with
your host adapter.
