NOTE: You cannot modify the resources of a Plug and Play or PCI expansion card. You
can only view the resources currently assigned and lock or unlock them.

To modify the resource settings for a listed or unlisted card, follow these steps:

If the Card Configuration dialog box appears, the selected card is listed (it has a
configuration file in the ICU database). Continue with step 3.

If the Configure Unlisted Card dialog box appears, the card is unlisted (it does not
have a configuration file). Proceed to step 5.

NOTE: When you modify an unlisted card, the ICU cannot show you the valid
resources for the card. Therefore, you must have documentation from the card
manufacturer that describes the resources and resource settings that the card
can use.

For example, if you click the box beneath IRQ, the Add, Modify, and Remove
buttons change to Add Interrupt, Modify Interrupt, and Remove Interrupt. When
you click one of these buttons, a smaller Specify list box (in this case, Specify
Interrupt) appears.

If you are providing a value for the IRQ or DMA resource, click the down arrow
beneath Available Resources. Click the value you want to assign to the resource.
If the resource can be shared with another card or device, click Sharable. Then
click OK.

If none of the values for the DMA or IRQ resource match the allowable values for
your unlisted card (as indicated in the card’s documentation), select one of the
available values offered by the utility and click OK.

If you are providing values for the I/O port or memory resource, you must enter
the starting and ending addresses in hexadecimal format using the two fields
provided by the Specify Memory or Specify I/O Port dialog box.
