Figure 36. SMIT Configuration Menu for Adding an 8-Port Asynchronous ISA Adapter

This configuration menu does not provide the capability to only define the
adapter without attempting to configure it. So, the configuration operation will
fail because the adapter is not yet physically installed on the system. If no Bus
I/O Address conflict are detected, the following message will be displayed:

sa2 Defined
Method error (/usr/lib/methods/cfgcxma):

514- 4 Error initializing a device into the kernel.
