EISA Configuration Diskettes

EISA adapters are shipped with a diskette that contains a configuration file (a .CFG file) that the EISA configuration utility needs so that it knows what parameters are available for the adapter. This .CFG file should be copied to the EISA configuration diskette. If the file has been copied to the diskette, the EISA adapter is added automatically.

If you have not copied the .CFG file, you will be prompted to insert the adapters configuration diskette into the diskette drive during this process and the .CFG file will be copied to your diskette.

Our token-ring adapter is recognized but not in the correct slot. This is because it is not possible for EISA systems to determine what slot ISA adapters are in. So we must tell the system what slot it is in by moving the adapter to the correct slot.

4.To move the ISA adapter to the correct slot:

a.With the arrow key, select the desired adapter.

b.Press F7. A Move Confirmation panel appears:

e.Press F10 to return to the EISA Configuration menu.

5.View or edit details

After adding EISA or ISA adapters, you will often need to view and/or edit the settings for the adapter. To view or edit an adapters details:

a.From the Main menu, select Step 3: View or edit details with the arrow key.

b.Press Enter to view configuration details. You will see a panel similar to that shown in Figure 5.
