Generic Microcode Download Service Aid
This service aid provides a means of restoring a diskette (or other media) and
executing a restored program. This program will do whatever is required to
download the microcode onto the adapter or device.
This service aid is supported in both concurrent and standalone modes from disk,
LAN, or loadable media.
When entered, this service aid displays information about what it does. It then asks
for a microcode diskette to be inserted into the diskette drive. The diskette is in
backup format. The service aid then restores the diskette to the /tmp directory and
execute a program called diagucode. Once diagucode has completed, you are then
returned to the service aid.

ISA Adapter Configuration Service Aid
The ISA Adapter Configuration Service Aid allows the identification and configuration
of ISA adapters on systems that have an ISA bus and adapters.
This service aid also displays all ISA adapters supported by diagnostics. Diagnostic
support for ISA adapters not shown in the list may be supported from a
Supplemental Diskette. ISA adapter support can be added from a Supplemental
Diskette with this service aid.
Whenever an ISA adapter is installed, this Service Aid must be run and the adapter
configured before the adapter can be tested. This Service Aid must also be run (and
the adapter removed) whenever an ISA adapter is physically removed from the
system.
If diagnostics are run on an ISA adapter that has been removed from the system,the
diagnostics fail.
