Chapter 2 Installing hardware and software
Assigning ISA host card addresses and IRQ levels
The rioisacfg Utility allows you to define addresses and IRQ levels for RIO host cards you
add to the system. You run this utility before installing the hardware using the following steps;
1. Decide on the name, memory address and IRQ level you require.
2. On each host card, set the address you want using the procedures described in
Installing an ISA host card on page 158 .
3. At the command prompt, type /etc/rioisacfg and press the Enter key.
Some help text is now displayed which explains the syntax used by this utility.
4. At the command prompt, enter the command to start the rioisacfg utility using the card
parameters you decided in step 1. as shown in the next example:
/etc/rioisacfg -n ISA1 -m 0xD0000 -i 9
5. Press the Enter key.
6. Repeat steps 1. to 5. until you have assigned addresses to all the ISA host cards you
want to install.
You can now continue with the rest of the procedure required to install the host card. See
step
4. in General setup procedure for Solaris on page 36 for details.
Note
You may need to reserve memory and Interrupt resources for ISA
cards using the system BIOS setup or system configuration program.
