eisa(ADM) 19 June 1992 eisa(ADM) Name eisa - report on boards that are installed on the EISA bus Syntax /etc/eisa [slots|h|H] Description The eisa command provides information about the host adapters that are installed on the system. By default, eisa reports on the motherboard and 15 slots (slots 0-15). You can specify a number of slots for which you want a report. If you specify a higher number of slots than you have on your computer, the eisa report for those slots is invalid. If you do not specify slot information, use the H or h options to get usage informa- tion. Here is a sample report: _________________________________________________________________________ Slot: EISA ID: Vendor: Prod#: Rev#: EISA Ver: MB 22 f0 fd 09 HWP 0xfd 01 1 4 04 90 00 00 ADP 0x000 00 6 04 90 00 00 ADP 0x000 00 15 22 f0 08 01 HWP 0x080 01 _________________________________________________________________________ These columns have the following meanings: Slot logical number of the slot on the EISA bus to which the board is attached. The motherboard is always configured as slot 0, so slot 0 is reported as ``MB''. EISA ID standard EISA ID. The first four digits represent the ven- dor; the next four digits represent the product number and the revision number for the product. Vendor abbreviation for the vendor of the board. The sample report shows that the motherboard and the board in slot 15 are sold by HP and the boards in slots 4 and 6 are sold by Adaptec. Note that this column merely interprets the vendor informa- tion given in the first four digits of the EISA ID column. Prod# product number of the individual board. These numbers are assigned by the vendor and should be explained in the docu- mentation that accompanies the board. Rev# hardware revision number for the board EISA Ver EISA version number. Each motherboard is encoded with a ver- sion of the EISA specification to which it conforms, and that version number is given in this column. Notes The eisa command reports only EISA boards that are installed on an EISA system, not the 8- or 16-bit ISA (XT/AT) boards. Only root can execute the eisa command. Diagnostics eisa returns a 0 value if successful. A return value of 1 indicates a command line error, a return value of 2 indicates that the motherboard was not located, and a return value greater than 2 indicates an unspeci- fied error. If the slot number that you specify is larger than the actual number of slots, the results are unpredictable; however, the return value is still 0. Value added eisa is an extension of AT&T System V provided by The Santa Cruz Opera- tion, Inc.
