EISA Accessory Card Configuration Files
Four EISA slots are available in the Model 745 equipped with an EISA
backplane.
The man page eisa_config(1M) has current information on installing your
EISA card(s) on HP-UX using the eisa_config utility.
The configuration for EISA cards is determined when the system reads a file
in the following directory:
/etc/eisa
This directory contains a number of files describing EISA identities and con-
figurations for various systems. A file in this directory applies to your sys-
tem and contains information as to how many slots are available and how
they are identified. Your system will give you an error message should you
attempt to address a card having a numerical ID that exceeds the number of
EISA slots available on your system.
