Using The System Configuration Utility; Isa Boards With A Configuration File; Isa Boards Without A Configuration File - Intergraph InterServe 600 Series System Reference Manual

Using the System Configuration Utility

The SCU is an MS-DOS utility that will not run in the Windows NT environment. Use the System
Utilities (SYSUTIL) diskette delivered with your system to boot the system into MS-DOS. The system
must be set to boot from the floppy disk drive (normally drive A) to use the SCU. If necessary, refer to
"Changing the System Boot Sequence" on page 85.
NOTE If installing a PC Card device or a non-compiant PCI card, which require specific system resources,
treat the device as if it were an ISA option board.

ISA Boards with a Configuration File

Some ISA boards are shipped with a diskette containing a configuration file. The configuration file can
be loaded to the system so that the BIOS reads this file to assign resources during startup. If you install
ISA boards that are shipped with a configuration diskette, follow this procedure.
NOTE If a configuration diskette is not delivered with the option board, refer to "ISA Boards without a
Configuration File" later in this chapter.
To define ISA boards with a configuration file:
1. Shut down and power off the system.
2. Insert the SYSUTIL diskette into the floppy diskette slot of the combo drive; then restart the
system.
3. When the MS-DOS Startup menu displays, select option 1 to run the SCU.
4. Use the arrow keys or the mouse to select Step 2 from the SCU Main Menu. Then press
add a board that was not detected or has not been installed.
A prompt displays requesting you to copy the configuration files needed to configure the system.
The configuration file is on a diskette provided by the ISA board manufacturer.
5. Press
ENTER
6. Select the slot where the board will be installed. Only slots 1 through 4 are valid for the server.
7. When prompted to insert the source disk, insert the diskette containing the configuration file and
press
ENTER
8. When prompted to insert the destination disk, insert the SYSUTIL diskette and press
configuration file from the option board manufacturer will be installed to the system and to the
SYSUTIL diskette.
9. Press
ESC
10. Select Step 4 to save the configuration, and then select Step 6 to exit the SCU.
11. Remove the diskette from the combo drive and restart the system.

ISA Boards without a Configuration File

Some ISA board vendors do not include configuration files with their boards. For these boards, you
must use the SCU to define the ISA board to the system (that is, manually create a configuration file).
