NOTE
Most PCI boards do not need any additional configuration. If the board that you are
installing does require configuration, run the EISA Configuration Utility.
Boot Device Priority
If you are installing a SCSI controller board, the priority of the controllers (where the BIOS will search for the
boot drive) is set by the slot location where the board is installed.
NOTE
To ease the routing of cables, install the PCI controller boards in the high numbered
slots, such as P5 or P6,.
The following is the search path in order of the highest boot device priority:
1.
CD-ROM drive with bootable CD-ROM
2.
Flexible disk drive with bootable flexible disk (must be enabled by the EISA Configuration Utility)
3.
IDE drive (can be disabled by the EISA Configuration Utility)
4.
EISA or ISA controller in EISA/ISA bus slots in the following order:
E1, E2, E3, E4
5.
