Configuration for (older) EISA Cards
NOTE The information in this section applies only to HP 9000 EISA Token
Ring. The EISA bus version of Token Ring has been obsoleted as of July
1999. Configuration information for this product is included here for
older systems who may still need to configure this product.
Follow the steps below to set the EISA card link speed to the ring speed.
1. Run the eisa_config utility in interactive mode using the command:
eisa_config
The screen display shows a slot number, configuration (CFG) file, and
contents description for each EISA card.
2. Verify that eisa_config displays either !HWPC000 at slot 0 for the
S720/730 EISA system board or !HWPC010 at slot 0 for the S750
EISA system board.
NOTE If you inserted the hardware card into the EISA interface prior to
installing the Token Ring software using the swinstall utility,
eisa_config may automatically recognize the card. If so, you should
proceed to Step 4 below.
Add the Token Ring card configuration file (!MDG0002) to the
EEPROM memory chip on the EISA interface using the add
command, followed by the slot number of the first available empty
slot for the card, after the EISA prompt. In the example below, 1 is
the slot number chosen for the EISA Token Ring interface:
add !MDG0002 1
HP recommends that you use the lowest empty slot.
3. Execute the show board command followed by the slot number of the
card to display the board's basic attributes. In the example below, 1
indicates the slot number of the EISA Token Ring interface.
show board 1
