Adding an Unlisted Card

Unlisted cards are non-Plug and Play ISA expansion cards that do not have configuration files stored in the
ICU database.

NOTE: If you want to add a configuration file that you received on diskette with a new expansion card,
see "

Adding a Listed Card

."

To add an unlisted card with the ICU, perform the following steps:

1. Start the ICU as described in "

Starting the ICU

."

2. From the ICU window, click Add or select Add Card from the Configure menu.

3. Click the name of the category of card that you want to add. If you clicked Add in step 2, click

OK.

A dialog box appears listing the names of all available cards of that type.

4. Select Unlisted Card from the bottom of the list of cards displayed in the dialog box that

appears. Then click OK.

5. Click No when the ICU asks if you have a configuration file for the card.

The Configure Unlisted Card dialog box appears with blank fields.

6. Enter the name of the card that you want to add in the Card Name field.

7. For each resource you want to assign to the card, click the box beneath the name of the

resource to be assigned and then click Add.

For example, if you click the box beneath IRQ, the button changes to Add Interrupt. When you click this
button, a Specify dialog box (in this case, Specify Interrupt) appears.

Figure 7

shows the Configure

Unlisted Card dialog box with the Specify Interrupt dialog box opened.

If you are providing a value for the IRQ or direct memory access (DMA) resource, click the down arrow
beneath Available Resources. A smaller Specify list box appears (see

Figure 8

). Click the value you

want to assign to the resource. Then click OK.
