Using the EISA Configuration Utility

Adding or Removing Boards

Each time you add or remove a board, you must reconfigure your server using the EISA Configuration Utility program.

Adding Boards

Note: If you are adding a PCI device or a plug-and-play ISA board, proceed to step 5.

PCI devices and plug-and-play (PnP) ISA boards do not require a corresponding CFG file. The configuration information is already stored on the board.

To add a board, follow these steps:

1.Select “Maintain system configuration diskette” from the main menu and press Enter.

2.From the screen that displays, select “Copy/Update CFG files” and press Enter. A list of CFG files from your system configuration diskette displays.

Note: The EISA Configuration Utility uses the CFG file to configure the board into the system without creating conflict with other boards or devices.

3.Select the appropriate CFG files and press Enter to return to the “Maintain system configuration diskette” screen.

4.Select “Return to the main menu” and press Enter.

5.From the main menu, select “Configure computer” and press Enter. The screen “Steps in configuring your computer” displays.
