The built-in interfaces let you connect basic peripheral devices
(such as a printer and mouse) directly to the computer, leaving
the expansion slots for optional devices such as a SCSI adapter
or a networking card.
Your computer’s EISA technology allows the 32-bit processor
to access EISA-compatible I/O expansion boards 32 bits at a
time optimizing system throughput. In addition, the EISA burst
mode capability enables data transfers of up to 33MB of data per
second through the EISA bus.
The powerful EISA configuration program automatically
configures any EISA boards you install and provides all the
necessary information for configuring most ISA boards. The
result is a configuration that manages your system resources in
the most efficient manner possible.
The EISA Series computer offers several other features to
enhance system performance:
Automatic shadow RAM support. This speeds up access to
the system and video BIOS.
Processor speed simulation support. You can set the
processor to emulate a variety of system speeds from
8 MHz up to your processor’s highest speed to provide
compatibility with a wide variety of software.
Password security. You can set a password in either regular
or network server mode.
