Be sure to select Step 5 in the Configure Computer or Peripheral Devices menu and save your configuration. 4-22 Using the ECU and SCSI Utilities ISA Boards without CFG Files If a CFG file did not ship with your ISA board, check to see if one exists for the board on the ECU diskette or on a CFG File Library diskette. If you still cannot locate a CFG file for the board, use one of the following procedures: s configure your system for the ISA board with the Generic ISA CFG File provided by the ECU (see the next section, "Using the Generic ISA CFG File"). s create a CFG file for the ISA board (see "Using the Create CFG File Facility" later in this section). Use this procedure when the Generic ISA CFG File is not available. Using the Generic ISA CFG File The ECU provides one Generic ISA CFG file that you can use with an ISA board that does not have a corresponding file. However, if you have a multifunction ISA board, you may have to manually create a configuration file (see "Using the Create CFG File Facility, " next). NOTE: The ECU provides only one Generic ISA CFG file. If you already used the Generic ISA CFG file, see "Using the Create CFG File Facility. " Before you use the Generic ISA CFG file, determine if a CFG file exists for the ISA board. If you cannot locate a CFG file, use the following procedure to configure your system for the ISA board. NOTE: Do not install the ISA board in your system until you have completed the following procedure. Using the ECU and SCSI Utilities 4-23 1. Locate the manufacturer's documentation that comes with the ISA board. This document provides information about any required resources for the ISA board. 2. Run the ECU utility and select "Configure Computer or Peripheral Devices" from the Main Menu. 3. 4. Select "Step 2: Add or remove boards. " Press Insert to select the Add function. A message appears telling you to locate the CFG file for the board you want to install. The "Select a Configuration (CFG) file to add" screen appears. The "Add confirmation" screen appears with the manufacturer's comments and instructions to configure the board resources manually. Read the manufacturer's comments and press Enter when you are finished. Select the slot in which you want to install the ISA board and press Enter. The "Step 2: Add or remove boards" screen appears and shows the addition of the Generic ISA Adapter. 5. Available slots are listed in the order of preference. 9. Press F10. Select "Step 3: View or edit details. " Scroll through the 4-24 Using the ECU and SCSI Utilities 11. Using the information provided by the board manufacturer, select the appropriate Generic ISA Adapter board function. For example, if the board requires an IRQ setting, select "ISA IRQ Resource Allocation. " Press F6 to edit the resource. When you are through editing the functions, press F7 to select the Advanced menu. 13. [. . . ] A cable connector is usually plugged into the port to attach the device to the computer. Glossary-7 processor In a computer, a functional unit that interprets and executes instructions. prompt A special symbol indicating the beginning of an input line. Also a message that appears on the screen indicating that the user must take a certain action. R RAM Random Access Memory. A storage device into which data is entered and from which data is retrieved in a nonsequential manner. read To extract data from a storage device such as a diskette. ROM Read-Only Memory. Memory in which stored data cannot be modified by the user except under special conditions. reset The process of returning a device to zero or to an initial or arbitrarily selected condition. resolution The degree of screen image clarity.
