PCServer330 - Making Menu Selections

Applicable to: World-Wide

Making Menu Selections:
When you start the backup copy of the EISA Configuration Diskette, an introductory screen appears. Press Y. The Main Menu, Steps in configuring your computer , appears.

The EISA Configuration program main menu contains five steps:
1. Important EISA configuration information: This step provides information about the differences between the ISA configuration process and the EISA configuration process.
2. Add or remove boards: If the server is configured correctly, this step provides a list of the devices installed in the expansion slots. The Add choice allows you to add ISA devices to the configuration. If EISA adapters are installed in the server, and you have not copied the .CFG file to the EISA Configuration Diskette, you are prompted to insert the adapter configuration diskette into the diskette drive. The .CFG file is copied to the diskette. If the adapter .CFG file is copied to the EISA Configuration Diskette before starting the diskette, and the adapter is installed in the server, EISA devices are added automatically.
3. View or edit details: After adding EISA or ISA adapters in Step 2, use the Edit selection of this step to configure them. Use the Edit Resources selection of this step for complex configurations. If you change a setting in this step, you might have to change a switch or jumper setting on the system board or on a device.

Note: You can view the settings for PCI devices, but you cannot change them through the EISA Configuration utility program. To change settings for PCI devices, see 'PCI Bus Control— .

4. Examine switches or print report: After Steps 1 and 2 have been completed correctly, this step displays the correct switch and jumper settings for the installed devices that have switches and jumpers. Also, you can choose to print a system configuration report.
5. Save and exit: This step allows you to save the configuration or to discard the changes before you exit from the program.
Use the Up Arrow or Down Arrow key to highlight a selection; then press Enter to make the selection. To help you track your progress, a checkmark (| ) appears on the main menu next to the completed steps.

You can access help information through:
- Help windows, which remain active.
- Information windows, which appear automatically as a result of some configuration activities.
- The Help=F1 prompt, which allows you to access the Help Menu for screens displaying the prompt. To remove the Help Menu, press Esc.
