When you
lock
an expansion card, the RCU cannot change the resources allocated to
that card.
Unlocking
the card allows the system to change the resources automatically
as new cards are added. The default for the Lock/Unlock Boards category is
Unlocked. Dell recommends that you keep your cards unlocked so that the RCU can
do its job properly.
NOTE: If changes are made to the hardware or System Setup configuration, locks may
not be maintained.
