Installation Considerations
Newer adapters, designed for Plug-and-Play systems,
are automatically configured by the system without any
user intervention. Older ISA and EISA adapters must
be manually configured as detailed below. Once the
manual configuration is complete, the Plug-and-Play
adapters are configured around the manually
configured adapters without causing any resource
conflicts.
■
ISA Adapters - These adapters can be Plug-and-
Play. ISA adapters that are not Plug-and-Play must
be manually configured following the instructions
supplied with the board. The configuration is
defined to the system by creating the ISA
configuration file when running the SCU. For
details on running the SCU, refer to Chapter 4.
