6.3 EISA Configuration Utility (ECU)
The EISA Configuration Utility (ECU) is a program that allows you to easily
configure your EISA computer. Use this utility when you set up your EISA
computer for the first time or any time you change your configuration by adding
or removing an EISA or ISA board or memory. The program stores the
configuration information in the computer’s nonvolatile memory where it is
available whenever you use your computer.
Functions
The ECU does the following:
• Configures memory and main board options.
• Supports EISA and ISA boards, PCI devices, and plug-and-play ISA boards.
• Automatically detects EISA boards, PCI devices, and plug-and-play ISA
boards installed in the computer.
• Helps you configure ISA boards by providing the appropriate switch and
jumper settings, if the ISA board has a CFG file.
• Notifies you if a conflict occurs during configuration.
• Creates and maintains the System Configuration Information (SCI) file as a
backup for the computer’s nonvolatile memory.
• Supports configuration (CFG) file extensions.
