As shown in FIG. 2, the setting information management file DB 10 includes an information management file 20, a device name management file 21, a DIP switch management file 22,
Base ID information management file 23, basic I / O information file 24, IRQ setting information file 25, I / O
And a mounting information file 26.

The information management file 20 is associated with each computer system main unit designated by the main unit drawing number and main unit model name, and determines logics for mounting positions of options to be mounted on the main unit, and hardware for setting those options. It manages the setting logic of the setting information, and as shown in FIG. 3A, the logic for determining the mounting position of the CPU mounted on it (stored in the file indicated by “CPU-TAB”) and the like. , Logic for determining the mounting position of the memory mounted on the memory (stored in the file pointed to by “MEM”), and logic for determining the mounting position of the device mounted on the memory (stored in the file specified by “DEV”) ), The logic for determining the mounting position of the card mounted on it (stored in the file pointed to by "CARD"), Logic for setting the (stored in the file pointed to by the "IRQ") and IRQ value cards instrumentation to specify when issuing IRQ (interrupt request signal), C
It manages a computer system model (identified by BASE-ID) determined by the PU type and the like.

For example, in the case of a memory, for example, while prioritizing a memory having a large capacity, a decision logic for describing that a memory should be mounted in a slot in ascending slot number order is managed. It manages the logic for determining the mounting position of the memory.

In this management, if an example of a memory is used, a configuration in which information of a memory basically mounted on a computer system is managed using a file pointed to by “MEM-TAB” is adopted, and a mounting position of the memory is taken. According to the auxiliary information to be managed, for example, if memories are already basically mounted in slots 1 and 2, mounting of optional memories starts from slot 3. In this configuration, logic for determining a mounting position of an optional memory is described in consideration of a memory basically mounted on a computer system.

Also, by defining priorities between cards designated as options, priorities are assigned to cards described in order information, and IRQ values are set in a form according to the order of the assigned priorities. By managing configuration logic that describes things like that,

Is configured to be able to be automatically set.

In realizing this configuration, the apparatus production system 1 of the present invention inserts a floppy disk into a computer system in which hardware setting information has been set, and performs processing to read the hardware setting information. However, some CPUs store that they are such CPUs, and in such a case, the stored information is read onto a floppy disk. Then, even if the same hardware setting information is used, another CP
When U is installed, the hardware setting information cannot be reused.

For such a reason, the BASE-ID is managed in the setting information management file DB 10, so that the base ID information management file 23

The IRQ setting information file 25 corresponds to the file indicated by the above-mentioned "IRQ", and manages the setting logic of the IRQ value set for the installed option. As shown in the table, the higher the description, the higher the priority of allocation, and the same IRQ value is set for those with a common share No. Manage.

To specifically explain the setting logic shown in FIG. 5A, for example, "the drawing number is GG00
1, a RAID card with a model number of HH001 ", a RAID card with a figure number of II001 and a model name of JJ001, and a RAID card with a figure number of KK001 and a model name of LL001.
When an ID card is mounted, the RAI of the highest priority “the figure number is GG001 and the model name is HH001”
Set an IRQ value of "11" for the D card,
The next priority is "the figure number is II001 and the model name is JJ
"001" for the RAID card "001"
The Q value is set, and the next priority “drawing number is KK001
Thus, for the RAID card having the model name "LL001", the share No. becomes common, thereby instructing to set the IRQ value of "5".

The I / O mounting information file 26 corresponds to a file indicated by the above-mentioned "MEM" or the like, and is a logic for determining a mounting position of a CPU, an HDD, a memory, an adapter, a power supply, etc. mounted on a computer system. As shown in FIG. 5B, the setting logic is managed by using a table-type expression description such that the higher the description is, the higher the mounting priority is set.

The setting logic shown in FIG. 5B will be specifically described. For a card having a figure number of OO001 and a model name of PP001, "PC1-1"
, "PC1-2" and "PC1-3", the priority order of which is "PC1-1" is the highest priority, the next is "PC1-2", and the next is "PC1-2". “PC1
For example, a card with a figure number of OO001 and a model name of PP001 and a card with a figure number of QQ001 and a model name of RR001 are mounted. If the figure is OO001,
Insert the card with the model name of PP001 into the slot named "PC1-1".
01 is to be inserted into the slot “PC1-2”.

Next, the rack mounted file DB 11 will be described.
