Abstract
A method for determining and selecting configuration options and settings of circuit boards used in a computer system is disclosed. The options and settings are placed in a file according to a given format, at which time the system determines if non-conflicting use of the common system resources is possible. If so, these option and setting parameters are used to configure the circuit boards. The method also provides for creation of a minimal information file to permit configuration of circuit boards not supplied with configuration file information.
