About AMI ECU=
{                 About AMI ECU

The EISA Configuration Utility from American
Megatrends, Inc. is used to configure EISA
(Extended Industry Standard Architecture)
computer systems.

EISA systems and adapter cards are much more
complex and flexible than the older ISA designs.
Using DIP switches and jumpers to configure EISA
cards would be much too complex.  The EISA
Configuration Utility was created to automate
this configuration process.

The EISA Configuration Utility (ECU) generates a
configuration taking into account the needs of
all of the boards in the system.  To do this the
ECU uses {CFG Files} that are supplied with each
board.  The ECU stores configuration data in the
system's {Extended CMOS Memory} which is
maintained even when the system is turned off.
When an EISA system is powered on, the BIOS reads
this configuration information and initializes
all of the boards in the system.

}

Main Config Menu=
{            Main Configuration Menu

The configuration menu has four groups of
choices.  Within each group only one choice may
be selected.  Each of the four groups is
described below:

Create New Configuration vs. Modify Old
Configuration:
     Choosing "Create New" will begin a new
     configuration from scratch.  If you want to
     make changes to a configuration that was
     saved from an earlier configuration session,
     choose "Modify Old Configuration."

Automatic vs. Manual:
     Selecting "Automatic" will cause the
     configuration utility to ask you only a few
     essential questions.  In automatic mode a
     default configuration will be produced.
     Selecting "Manual" allows access to advanced
     features such as function choice selection
     and resource allocation editing.  The "Add
     Board" and "Remove Board" options are
     available only through Manual Mode.

Local vs. Remote:
     Select "Local" if the configuration that you
     are working on is for this computer.  If you
     want to produce a configuration for a
     computer other than this one, select
     "Remote."  In Local mode, configuration
     information will be stored in this
     computer's {Extended CMOS Memory} as well as
     a {CMS File} and {INF File}.  In Remote mode
     the configuration will be stored in the
     files only.  These files can be copied to a
     diskette using the {Backup} option.  The
     diskette can then be brought to another
     computer and the configuration can be copied
     into that system's extended CMOS memory.

Which {CFG Files} to configure:
     If "Create New Configuration" is selected,
     you must tell the utility which CFG files
     (one for each board) should be used for the
     configuration.  There are four options here:

     1. Use CFG files for installed boards
          The utility will automatically detect
          which EISA boards are installed and use
          the CFG files for these boards.  This
          option is available in local mode only.
     2. Use filenames listed in CFGLIST file
          The utility opens the {CFGLIST File}
          which contains a list of CFG files to
          be used.
     3. Select files one by one
          Allows you to choose CFG files and
          configure boards interactively.
     4. Use all CFG files in this directory
          The utility will configure all of the
          CFG files in the current directory.

Which {CMS File} to modify:
     If "Modify Old Configuration" is selected,
     you must tell the utility which CMS file
     contains the saved configuration data.
     There are three options here.

     1. Use default CMS name
          The utility searches for a CMS file
          matching the name of the system board.
          This option is available in local mode
          only.
     2. Select CMS file from directory listing
          You will be asked to select the CMS
          file from a list of all CMS files in
          the current directory.
     3. Enter CMS file name using keyboard
          You will be asked to enter the file
          name of the CMS file that you want to
          modify.

Backup=
{             Backup Configuration

Backup allow you to make a backup copy of your
configuration.  This is done by copying the
configuration storage files to a diskette.  These
two files are the {CMS File} and the {INF File}.

If more than one pair of CMS/INF files are in the
current directory, you will be asked to choose
which one to backup.

Making a backup of your configuration will allow
you to quickly restore a configuration if your
computer's battery fails.  Making a backup also
allows you to copy a configuration to another
EISA system with the same equipment installed.

To restore an old configuration, choose
"{Write Extended CMOS}" from the configuration
menu.  This command copies the information in the
CMS file into a system's {Extended CMOS Memory}
which is maintained by the battery when the
system is turned off.
}

Backup Select=
{          Selecting Files for Backup

The {CMS File} and {INF File} contain a saved
configuration.  It is this file pair that must be
copied to a diskette during a backup.  More than
one CMS/INF file pair has been detected.  This
means that there is more than one configuration
stored on this system.  You must choose which one
to backup.  You will only be asked for the name
of the CMS file, the corresponding INF file will
be backed up at the same time.

now.
}

CFG Files=
{                   CFG Files

Each expansion card in a EISA system should come
with a CFG file.  A card's CFG file contains
detailed information on the card as well as what
functions the card can perform.  The CFG file
tells the EISA configuration utility what choices
the user has in configuring that card and what
system resources have to be reserved for the
card.
System resources include DMA channels (DMA=Direct
Memory Access), IRQ lines (IRQ=Interrupt
Request), Input/Output Ports, and Memory space.

Before AMI EISA Configuration Utility can
configure an EISA system, all CFG files for all
cards in the system and the CFG file for the
motherboard must be available to the utility.

          {INF File}
}

CMS File=
{                   CMS File

The CMS file contains a copy of the configuration
information that is written into the system's
{Extended CMOS Memory}.  The default name for a
CMS file matches the ID of the system board that
was used in the configuration.  Each CMS file
should have a corresponding INF file.

See also: {CFG Files}
          {INF File}
}

INF File=
{                   INF File

The INF file contains detailed information about
a configuration such as switch and jumper
settings, software statements, connection
statements, and resource allocation.  The INF
file is used by the "{Display/Print}" command to
recall information on a saved configuration.
Each INF file should have a corresponding CMS
file.

}

CFGLIST File=
{
The CFGLIST file is a text file that contains the
names of the {CFG Files} to be configured.  The
CFGLIST file can be created with a text editor.
Use the CFGLIST file when you do not want to have
to select the CFG files individually each time
you create a configuration.
}

Duplicate Files=
{                Duplicate Files

When copying a CFG file into a directory, AMI
EISA Configuration Utility checks to see if the
file already exists.  If the file is already
present, you are given the opportunity to copy
the file, but store it under a different name.
The new name will be determined by the industry
standard procedure for duplicate CFG files.

Using this procedure if the file !AMI25B1.CFG is
copied into a directory where a file by the same
name already exists, the new file will be copied
using the name 1AMI25B1.CFG.  If the same file is
copied into that directory again it will be named
2AMI25B1.CFG.  The next time will be 3AMI25B1.CFG
and so on.  This procedure prevents the loss of
any CFG file due to overwriting.
}
File Selection=
{
                 File Selection

To select files using the keyboard:
     Use the arrow keys to move the highlight bar
     over a file and press <Enter>.

To select files using a mouse:
     Move the mouse cursor over a file (it will
     be highlighted) and press the left mouse
     button.

When a file is selected, a mark will appear to
the left of the filename.  To Un-select a file
simply select it again.  In some cases more than
one file can be selected.  When you are finished
selecting files select "OK."

Only files matching the filespec shown at the top
of the screen are shown in the window.  You may
change the filespec to select files from other
drives/directories.
}

Extended CMOS Memory=
{             Extended CMOS Memory

Extended CMOS memory is a small amount of very
low power memory on the system board.
Configuration information is stored in extended
CMOS so that the BIOS can initialize the system
(including adapter cards) at power up.  The
contents of CMOS memory is maintained by a
battery.  If the battery runs down, the contents
of CMOS memory may be lost.  It is then necessary
to either reconfigure the system or copy a backed
up configuration into extended CMOS memory.

}

Configuration error=
{              Configuration error

The resources requested by the board could not be
allocated; they are already being used by another
board.  The board will not be configured, and no
configuration data will be stored for this board.
}

TYPE too long=
{
                  TYPE too long
A function TYPE string stored in EISACMOS can
have a maximum length of 80 characters, including
the lengths of the SUBTYPE strings that may have
been appended after it.  This board has a TYPE
string which exceeds this limit.  The board will
not be configured, and no configuration data will
be stored for this board.
}

Too many IRQs =
{            Invalid IRQ statements

A function within an option board can ask for a
maximum of 7 IRQ lines, including the IRQs
requested by all the SUBFUNCTIONS within that
function.  This board has a function block which
exceeds this limit.  The board will not be
configured, and no configuration data will be
stored for this board.
}

Too many DMAs =
{            Invalid DMA statements

A function within an option board can ask for a
maximum of 4 DMA channels, including the DMA
channels requested by all the SUBFUNCTIONS within
that function.  This board has a function block
which exceeds this limit.  The board will not be
configured, and no configuration data will be
stored for this board.
}

Too many MEMORYs=
{           Invalid MEMORY statements

A function within an option board can ask for a
maximum of 9 MEMORY blocks, including the MEMORY
blocks requested by all the SUBFUNCTIONS within
that function.  This board has a function block
which exceeds this limit.  The board will not be
configured, and no configuration data will be
stored for this board.
}

Switch/Jumper error=
{             INITVAL/INIT conflict

The SWITCH/JUMPER positions set to a certain
value by the INITVAL statement, can not be
altered by subsequent INIT statements.  This
board has an INIT statement which attempts to do
that.  The board will not be configured, and no
configuration data will be stored for this board.
}

IOPORT error=
{             INITVAL/INIT conflict

The IOPORT bits set to 0 , 1 or R (read mask) by
the INITVAL statement, can not be altered by
subsequent INIT statements.  This board has an
INIT statement which attempts to do that.  The
board will not be configured, and no
configuration data will be stored for this board.
}

No available slots=
{              No available slots

The board was tested to fit in any of the
available slots of the system, but due to
mismatching slot types, lengths or bus master
capabilities, it did not fit in any of the slots.
This board can not be configured.
}

Removal error=
{              Board removal error

An attempt was made to remove an embedded device.
The remove board option can be used with any add-
on expansion cards.  But the embedded devices
(e.g. the system board) can not be removed.
}

Backtracking error=
{              Backtracking error

Backtracking is the process of regenerating the
configuration from the data stored in a CMOS
image  (the {CMS File}).  This can only work if
the data stored in the image file is valid.  The
configuration utility failed to regenerate the
configuration, either because the image file is
corrupt, or the {CFG Files} have been modified
since last configuration.  If you continue, an
invalid configuration will probably be produced.
}

Insufficient memory=
{              Insufficient memory

The configuration utility requires a minimum
amount of memory to be available after loading
the utility, so that it can parse at least one
CFG file.  The free memory reported by DOS shows
that there is not enough memory to parse even one
file.  The configuration session is aborted.
}

Out of memory=
{                 Out of memory

The configuration utility issued a request to
allocate some memory, but DOS could not allocate
it, probably due to insufficient memory . The
configuration session is aborted.
}

Identification error=
{         CFG file identification error

To identify a CFG file, the four essential
statements within the board identification block
(BIB) are examined.  They are the ID statement,
NAME statement, MFR statement, and CATEGORY
statement.  The CFG file could not be identified,
because one of these four statements was missing.
}

No system board=
{                No system board

No system board CFG file was found within the
list of the CFG files to be configured.  The
configuration can not proceed without a valid
system board CFG file.  The configuration session
is aborted.
}

Parser error=
{                 Parser error

The CFG file parser encountered a syntax error
while parsing the CFG file.  The board will not
be configured, and no configuration data will be
stored for this board.
}

Multiple system file=
{          Multiple system board files

The configuration utility found more than one
system board CFG file within the list of CFG
files to be configured.  Only the first system
board CFG file will be configured, and the
remaining ones will be ignored.
}

CMS file error=
{                CMS file error
An error occurred while saving the image of the
CMOS data in the form of a {CMS File}.
Consequently, the configuration utility will not
be able to backtrack and regenerate the
configuration if you select "Modify old
configuration" from the configuration menu.
}

INF file error=
{                INF file error

An error occurred while saving the switch/jumper
setting information for this configuration in the
form of a {INF File}.  Consequently, the
configuration utility will not be able to show
the switch/jumper settings for this configuration
if you select "Display/Print" menu.
}

Swap file=
{                   Swap file

When the configuration utility runs out of
memory, it saves the contents of a certain memory
region into disk, and tries to re-use that
memory.  These files are referred as swap files.
One or more swap files have been created in the
diskette.  As the utility may want to recall the
swapped out memory at any time, do not remove the
diskette from the drive.
}

Swap file error=
{                Swap file error

When the configuration utility runs out of
memory, it saves the contents of a certain memory
region into disk, and tries to re-use that
memory.  These files are referred as swap files.
The configuration utility tried to read or write
a swap file, but DOS issued a file I/O error.  If
you continue, an invalid configuration will
probably be produced.
}

CHOICE conflict=
{                CHOICE conflict

The CHOICE that you selected contained request(s)
for resource(s) already allocated to some other
function.  Selecting this choice will result in
an irresolvable conflict.  So this choice has
been ignored, and the previous choice has been
restored.
}

already allocated to some other function.
Selecting this DMA channel will result in a
irresolvable conflict.  So this selection has
been ignored, and the previous selection has been
restored.
}

MEMORY conflict=
{             MEMORY block conflict

The MEMORY block that you selected has been
already allocated to some other function.
Selecting this MEMORY block will result in a
irresolvable conflict.  So this selection has
been ignored, and the previous selection has been
restored.
}

PORT conflict=
{              PORT block conflict

The PORT block that you selected has been already
allocated to some other function.  Selecting this
PORT block will result in a irresolvable
conflict.  So this selection has been ignored,
and the previous selection has been restored.
