Configuring a Virtual Machine’s Hardware
To configure the virtual hardware inside a virtual machine, click the Hardware tab. The
Hardware page appears.

The Hardware page lists the virtual hardware in the virtual machine — configured
devices like the virtual disk; removable devices like floppy, CD-ROM or DVD-ROM
drives; virtual network adapters and memory allocated to the virtual machine.

You can configure each virtual hardware component. Most hardware can be
configured only when the virtual machine is powered off.
