4. Select the name of the card you want to add.
If the card is not listed, see "Adding an Unlisted Card".
5. If you want the ICU to select the resources for the card, click OK. Otherwise, skip to step 6.
The ICU uses the default resources set by the card manufacturer whenever possible. If the ICU cannot find a resource that
is valid for the card and available in the system, the utility generates an error message. See "ISA Configuration Utility
Messages" for an explanation of the message and a possible solution to the conflict.
If you are satisfied with the default resources assigned to the card, you can skip the remainder of this procedure.
6. To select the resources yourself, click Advanced.
The Card Configuration dialog box (see Figure 4-3) displays all resources used by the card. Some cards have multiple
functions, each having one or more resources associated with it. For example, a communications card can have fax,
modem, and scanner functions, each of which may have one or more associated resources.

7. To change any of the resource settings for the card, select the resource setting and then click Settings.
The Configuration Settings dialog box (see Figure 4-4) displays the name of the resource that you selected in the upper-left
corner of the box. The resource values currently associated with the selected function are displayed in the Resources for
Choice box. The resource values displayed are IRQ, DMA, Memory (Hex), and I/O Port (Hex).

8. To change the resource settings, click the down arrow next to the Configuration Choice box. Then click the new resource
setting from the list of available settings (see Figure 4-5).
You cannot manually enter a value; you must choose a setting from the list. If there is only one setting listed, no other
settings are available.
The setting that you select may affect the resources available. For example, if you are offered the Disabled option and select
it, all resource values are blank, indicating that a disabled setting uses no resources.
