After you have run the ICU for your non-Plug and Play ISA expansion cards and it has
configured all your Plug and Play and PCI expansion cards, you can use the utility to
lock
the configuration of your Plug and Play and PCI expansion cards so that they are
always assigned the same resources. See “Locking and Unlocking Cards” found later
in this chapter for details.

Before using the ICU for the first time, you must complete the following steps:
1. If your system includes Dell-installed software, make a program diskette of the
ICU from the diskette image on your hard-disk drive.
For instructions on how to create a program diskette from the diskette image,
see the online help provided in the Program Diskette Maker, which is available in
the Dell Accessories program folder.
NOTE: If you received an
ISA Configuration Utility Diskette
with your system, skip
to step 2.
2. If you want to use your mouse with the ICU, copy your mouse driver file
(mouse.exe) to your ICU diskette.
3. Make a backup copy of your ICU diskette, as described in the next subsection,
“Backing Up the ICU Diskette.”
Use the backup copy whenever you run the utility; store the original diskette in a
safe place.

Before using the ICU, make a backup copy of the ICU diskette by performing the fol-
lowing steps.
NOTE: If you received an
ISA Configuration Utility Diskette
with your system, you
should use this procedure to create a backup of that diskette.
1. Make sure you have a blank, high-density, 3.5-inch diskette.
2. Turn on your computer system if it is not already on.
3. Make a copy of the ICU program diskette.
See your operating system documentation for instructions on making a copy of a
diskette.
4. Store your original ICU diskette in a safe place.
Use only the backup diskette when running the ICU.
