Use the "Add or Remove Boards" ECU option to add the configuration
(CFG) file for the ISA option and to select an acceptable slot for the option.
In some cases, the CFG file for the ISA option may reside on a configuration
diskette packaged with the option. If so, insert that diskette and follow its
directions.
For most ISA options, the configuration (CFG) file is not on a diskette. If it
is not, you need to use the Generic ISA Adapter Definition option on the
ECU diskette.
3. Change settings or resources, as needed.
Be sure that the default settings and the user-selectable settings do not
conflict with EISA card and system board settings. For example, an ISA
option might default to the setting reserved on the system board or one used
by an EISA network card.
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)
4. Examine and set required switches to match the displayed settings.
The "Examine Required Switches" ECU option displays the correct switch
and jumper settings that you must physically set for each ISA option.
Although the ECU cannot detect or change the settings of ISA cards, it uses
the information from the previous step to determine the correct switch
settings for these options.
Physically set the card's jumpers and switches to match the required settings.
5. Save your configuration.
The "Save and Exit" ECU option saves your configuration information to the
system's nonvolatile memory.
6. Return to the SRM console (Digital UNIX and OpenVMS Alpha systems only)
and restart the system.
For systems running Windows NT: Remove the ECU diskette from the
diskette drive and boot the operating system.
For systems running Digital UNIX or Open VMS:
To return to the SRM console, press the Reset switch on the system unit, or
turn the system off, then back on.
Alternatively, you can use the following procedure:
a. From the Supplementary menu, select the Setup menu.
