The EISA Configuration Utility (ECU) is supplied on the system configuration diskette
shipped with the KFE70 and KFE72 adapters.
How ECU Is Used with OpenVMS or DIGITAL UNIX Systems
You need to run ECU from the SRM console whenever you add, remove, or move an
EISA board in your system. ECU uses the board's corresponding configuration (CFG)
file, which describes the characteristics and the required system resources for that
option, to create a conflict-free configuration.
NOTE: The CFG files supplied with the option you want to install may not work on this
system. These files may call overlay files that are not required on this system
or may reference inappropriate system resources. Contact your DIGITAL
representative if you want to use a configuration file that is not supplied on the
ECU system diskette.
ECU saves your system configuration to the system configuration diskette. You should
make a backup copy of the system configuration diskette and keep the original in a safe
place. Use the backup copy when you are configuring the system. Refer to Chapter 7
for a description of the runecu command used to invoke ECU.
How ECU Is Used with Windows NT Systems
You need to run ECU from AlphaBIOS to initialize the NVRAM on the standard I/O
module after installation of a KFE72. This procedure is described in the KFE72
Installation Guide (EK-KFE72-IN). Windows NT on AlphaServer 8200/8400 systems
does not support EISA options.
