ISA Board Configuration

If you want to add an ISA board to your system that is not included in a .cfg file, use the following procedures to define and add the option board. It is necessary to define an ISA board to prevent other boards in the system from using the same IRQ levels, DMA channels, I/O port addresses, or memory addresses, that your ISA board uses. Standard ISA board options have .cfg files already on your SCU diskette.

You must run the SCU and add the ISA board to the configuration before installing the ISA board in the system, otherwise the resources on the ISA board may conflict with a Plug-and-Plug board in the system.

BIOS automatically assigns ISA Plug-and-Plug boards to the next available slot. If the slot displayed in Step 2: “Add or Remove Boards” is not the actual slot, it can be moved by using the F7 function key.

Notice: IRQ levels, DMA channels, I/O port addresses, and memory addresses defined using this procedure should reflect the same settings defined by supplied jumpers and/or configuration documents.

1.Insert the SCU diskette into drive A: and power-on the system. The system boots-up using the SCU diskette.

2.The SCU Main Menu shown in Table 4-1 is displayed. At the Startup Menu, enter choice 2, Configure Computer.

3.The System Configuration Utility Menu shown in Table 4-2 is displayed. Select Step 2 Add or Remove Boards and press ENTER.

4.The Step 2: Add or remove boards screen is displayed. At this screen select Add by pressing

INSERT.

5.The Add screen is displayed telling you to locate the diskette that contains the .cfg file for the board. Press ENTER at this screen.
