Reserving Resources In Use from an ISA Board

If you want to use resources being used by a PCI board on an ISA board not compatible with Plug and Play, you have to reserve such resources in advance with the following procedure.

NOTE: When you need to install an extended board in or remove one from the system equipment, call the maintenance personnel.

Built-in devices must be added or exchanged by maintenance personnel only. Be sure to avoid removing the cover and installing/removing built-in devices. Otherwise, operation of the equipment shall not be guaranteed.

1.Turn off the system equipment.

2.Remove the installed PCI board from the system equipment.

3.Start the ICU.

4.Referring to “ Adding an Extended Board” or “Changing Settings for an Extended Board”, reserve resources for an ISA board incompatible with Plug and Play.

5.Exit the ICU, and turn power off.

6.Install the PCI board and ISA board removed in step 2 in the system equipment.

When ICU Program Disk Has Been Destroyed

The ICU program disk contains information about the boards that have been set. If this disk has been destroyed, the names of these boards might be indicated as “Unknown Card”. In such a case, take the following steps for resetting. If the display is normal, no resetting is required.

1.Make a backup copy from the ICU program disk that has been saved.

2.Start the ICU.

3.The [ISA Configuration Utility] window is displayed. The names of ISA boards incompatible with Plug and Play are changed to [Unknown Card].

NOTE: [Unknown Card] is displayed for RAID controller (PC-CA7112).

Unless [Unknown Card] is displayed, you need not take the following steps:

4.Select [Unknown Card], and choose the [View] button.

5.The [Card Resource Usage] dialog box is displayed. Record the resource status, then choose [Close].

6.The [ISA Configuration Utility] window is displayed. Record the resources status for all boards for which [Unknown Card] is displayed.

7.Referring to “Rem oving an Extended Board” on page 45, remove all boards with [Unknown Card].

8.Referring to “Ad ding an Extended Board” on page 42, add new extended boards. Enter the names of all boards from scratch, and set the resource status that you recorded in step 5.

9.Exit the ICU.
