ISA Adapter Configuration Service Aid

The ISA Adapter Configuration Service Aid allows the identification and configuration
of ISA adapters on systems that have an ISA bus and adapters.

This service aid also displays all ISA adapters supported by diagnostics. Diagnostic
support for ISA adapters not shown in the list may be supported from a Supple-
mental Diskette. ISA adapter support can be added from a Supplemental Diskette
with this service aid.

Whenever an ISA adapter is installed, this Service Aid must be run and the adapter
configured before the adapter can be tested. This Service Aid must also be run (and
the adapter removed) whenever an ISA adapter is physically removed from the
system.

If diagnostics are run on an ISA adapter that has been removed from the system,the
diagnostics fail.

This service aid is only supported by the Standalone Diagnostics. SMIT should be
used to configure ISA adapters for AIX.

ISA adapters cannot be detected by the system.

Note: When using this service aid choose the option that places the adapter in the
"Defined State". Do not select the option that places the device in the "Available
State.

Machine Check Error Log Service Aid

Note: The Machine Check Error Log Service Aid is available only on Standalone
Diagnostics.

error log before the system unit shuts down. This information is logged in the AIX
