The EISA Configuration Utility that came with your computer reserves
system resources for each board (subsystem) that is installed. This
resource information is stored in the EISA system CMOS. When your
system boots, the Equinox software driver will read the assigned board
information directly from the CMOS configuration. Following is a
general discussion on using this system utility, you should consult your
host documentation for specific procedures for your system.
System resources for EISA boards are allocated by a menu-driven
program provided by your computer system vendor. Usually there is a
bootable floppy disk called the Configuration Diskette which must be
run whenever a board is added or removed from the system. Each third
party board vendor (such as Equinox) supplies a database of configura-
tion information containing a list of system resources which the board
requires. The configuration (.

Systems diskette. When configuring the system you are asked to put
this diskette into the floppy drive so that the database information can
be copied onto the system disk for later use. Follow the procedures in
your system documentation for the use of this utility. (If you are also
installing an ISA board see the beginning of this chapter for details on
ISA I/O requirements.)
You need not be overly concerned with selecting valid address blocks
because the EISA configuration program is designed to make sure there
are no conflicts over system resources.
