Configuring ISA or EISA Features and Options
Some ISA and most EISA devices come with option diskettes. These
diskettes can contain any or all of the following types of
information:
Configuration files (.CFG)
Diagnostic files
Device drivers
Sample applications (mini-applications)
Configuration Files
The server requires a configuration file to configure the server for
ISA or EISA adapters. You must copy this configuration file, which
has a file-name extension of .CFG, from the device option diskette to
the System Configuration Utility program diskette before installing
the device in the server.
The configuration file reserves the system resources that the adapter
needs to function properly. Some ISA adapters come with a
diskette that contains the .CFG file for the adapter. If you want to
install ISA adapters that did not come with their own .CFG files, use
the System Configuration Utility program to create a unique .CFG
file for each adapter.
Note: The unique .CFG files are slot sensitive. That is, they should
not be used to configure identical adapters in multiple
systems unless you install the adapters in the same expansion
slots within each system.
