4. Boot the Solaris software.

Unrecognized Devices

Issue What to Do

How a known ISA or EISA device can

be recognized by the Conﬁguration

Assistant software.

The address chosen for the unrecognized device

may have been allocated to some other system

device. Manually provide nonconﬂicting address

information for the unrecognized device using the

EISA conﬁguration utility (ECU). The

Conﬁguration Assistant uses that information to

identify that device for the Solaris environment.

Identifying ISA or EISA Devices—Sample Procedure

To set the conﬁguration parameters for an ISA or EISA adapter, run the

manufacturer’s ECU. This utility must be run every time an ISA or EISA board is

added, removed, or moved to a different bus slot. Although the function of this

utility is standardized, implementations vary among manufacturers, each providing

unique user interface screens or menus.

1. Boot DOS.

Note - Back up the board manufacturer’s EISA conﬁguration diskette before

using it to conﬁgure your hardware.

2. For each ISA or EISA add-in adapter to be conﬁgured, copy the EISA .cfg and

.ovl conﬁguration ﬁles from the board manufacturer’s conﬁguration diskette to

the system EISA conﬁguration diskette.

3. Run the ECU.

The program is called CF.EXE or CFG.EXE.

4. For each device, set the appropriate conﬁguration parameters.

5. Some adapters have special operating modes that can be set using the ECU.

See the Device Reference Pages for board conﬁguration requirements.
