Configuration (CFG) Files

For the system to operate properly, all ISA and EISA boards must have a configuration (CFG) file. CFG files
store information about the boards in the system that PCI boards and some operating systems require to
operate properly.

Creating a Configuration (CFG) File

If you are installing EISA or ISA boards, use the CFG file included with the board. If a CFG file is not
included, contact the manufacturer of the board. If a CFG file is unavailable from the manufacturer, perform
the following steps:
1. Go to the EISA Configuration Utility.
2. Select " Step 2: Add or remove boards."
3. Select the appropriate slot for the board and press the Insert key. Follow the directions to
search the HP NetServer Navigator CD ROM for a CFG file for the board. If no CFG file is
found, the message "No CFG Files found" will display.
4. Press F5 (Not listed) and select "Create a CFG file" and follow instructions to create a CFG file
for the board.
5. Select "Step 3: View or edit details."
6. Press F7 and select "Lock/unlock boards." Select the ISA board and lock.
7. Exit and save the configuration.
