Run the EISA Configuration Utility

Run the EISA Configuration utility as instructed by the EISA

system vendor.

Place the bootable EISA configuration diskette in an operative

drive and reset the system to boot from this diskette. If you have

the Configuration utility installed on your hard disk, reboot your

system and run the utility from your hard disk.

After booting with the host adapter installed, ignore any error

that indicates that an unknown board has been detected in the

system.

Copy Configuration and Overlay Files

The

!adp7771.cfg

configuration file and

adp7770.ovl

overlay file

needed to configure your host adapter with your EISA system are

located on the diskette that came with your host adapter.

The EISA Configuration utility typically allows you to select

among a number of options, including copying new configuration

files. Select this option to copy the

!adp7771.cfg

and the

adp7770.ovl

files from the host adapter diskette to either the

bootable EISA configuration diskette or to the directory on your

hard disk where the EISA Configuration utility is located.

If the Configuration utility does not provide such an option, use

the DOS

Copy

command to copy these files.

Select the Host Adapter

Once the configuration and overlay files have been copied, choose

the option in the EISA Configuration utility that allows you to con-

figure the EISA slot in which the host adapter is installed. If neces-

sary, scroll down the screen until you find a screen that lists the

host adapter and its parameters and looks similar to Figure 3-1.
