If there is a resource conflict, you must resolve it before completing the configuration. For more information, see “Resolving Resource Conflicts” found later in this chapter.

Step 3: View or Edit Details

The EISA Configuration Utility lets you set a variety of system options through the .sci file. Through this file, you can notify the system of changes to your hardware and memory configuration, set and change your passwords, manage input/output (I/O) ports, and set other system operating parameters.

Some of the categories do not offer options, but reflect installed hardware detected by the system. These items are displayed for your information only; you cannot change them through the utility.
