Making Selections in the ICU

The ICU window is the main window of the utility and
the starting point for making any changes to your expan-
sion-card configuration. This window displays a list of all
non-Plug and Play ISA, Plug and Play, and PCI expan-
sion cards currently installed in the computer. The ICU
window contains menus and a tool bar, as shown in Fig-
ure 3-1. When you choose a course of action, the ICU
displays dialog boxes to guide you through the various
steps.

You can maneuver through each menu and dialog box
using a mouse. If a mouse is not available, you can use
the keys shown in Table 3-1.

Each menu and menu option has an underlined character
in its name; when you press the <

ALT

> key in conjunction

with the key for the underlined character, that menu or
menu option is selected.
