Installing EISA Devices Plug-in
EISA devices can only be configured in partition 0. After installing
EISA devices, the console issues a message requesting that you run
the EISA Configuration Utility (ECU).
Run the ECU as follows:
Shut down all
OpenVMS Galaxy instances.
Be sure your floppy disk drive is properly connected
to the primary partitions hardware. Typically the drive can be cabled
into the connector module (Beeper part number 54-25133-01) in PCI
slot 2.
Insert the diskette containing the ECU image.
Enter the following commands from the primary console:
P08>>> SET ARC_ENABLE ON
P08>>> INITIALIZE
P08>>> RUNECU
Follow the procedures outlined by the ECU and exit
when done.
Enter the following commands from the primary console:
P08>>> boot
$ @SYS$SYSTEM:SHUTDOWN
P08>>> SET ARC_ENABLE OFF
P08>>> INITIALIZE
P08>>> LPINIT
Reboot the OpenVMS Galaxy.
There are two versions of the ECU, one that runs on a graphics
terminal and another that runs on character-cell terminals. Both
versions are on the diskette, and the console determines which one
to run. For OpenVMS Galaxy systems, the primary console is always
a serial device with a character-cell terminal.
If the ECU is not run, OpenVMS displays the following message:
%SYSTEM-I-NOCONFIGDATA, IRQ Configuration data for EISA
slot xxx was not found, please run the ECU and reboot.
If you ignore this message, the system boots, but the plug-in
EISA devices are ignored.
Once you have configured and set up the OpenVMS Galaxy hardware
as described in the previous sections, perform the following steps
to install and boot OpenVMS Galaxy instances.
