Configuring Your System

ISA Board Configuration

If you want to add an ISA board to your system that is
not included in a .cfg file, use the following procedures
to define and add the option board. It is necessary to
define an ISA board to prevent other boards in the
system from using the same IRQ levels, DMA channels,
I/O port addresses, or memory addresses, that your ISA
board uses. Standard ISA board options have .cfg files
already on your SCU diskette.

You must run the SCU and add the ISA board to the
configuration before installing the ISA board in the
system, otherwise the resources on the ISA board may
conflict with a Plug-and-Plug board in the system.

BIOS automatically assigns ISA Plug-and-Plug boards
to the next available slot. If the slot displayed in
Step 2: “Add or Remove Boards” is not the actual slot,
it can be moved by using the F7 function key.

Notice: IRQ levels, DMA channels, I/O port addresses,
and memory addresses defined using this procedure
should reflect the same settings defined by supplied
jumpers and/or configuration documents.

1. Insert the SCU diskette into drive A: and power-on

the system. The system boots-up using the SCU
diskette.

2. The SCU Main Menu shown in Table 4-1 is

displayed. At the Startup Menu, enter choice 2,
Configure Computer.

3.

The System Configuration Utility Menu shown in
Table 4-2 is displayed. Select Step 2 Add or Remove
Boards
and press ENTER.

4. The Step 2: Add or remove boards screen is

displayed. At this screen select Add by pressing
INSERT.

5. The Add screen is displayed telling you to locate the

diskette that contains the .cfg file for the board.
Press ENTER at this screen.
