dding a Listed Card
NOTE: If you want to add a configuration file that you
received on diskette with a new expansion card, you must
copy the configuration file to the \db subdirectory on the
backup copy of the ICU diskette. You should then reboot
your system and perform the following procedure to add
the expansion card.
Use the following procedure to add a listed card with the
ICU:
1.
Start the ICU as described in "Starting the ICU"
found earlier in this chapter.
2.
From the ICU window, click Add or select Add
Card from the Configure menu.

3.

want to add. If you clicked Add in step 2, click
OK.
A dialog box like the one in Figure 3-2 appears list-
ing the names of all available cards of that type.
Figure 3-2. Add Network Card Dialog Box
4.
Select the name of the card you want to add.
If the card is not listed, see "Adding an Unlisted
Card" found next in this chapter.
5.
If you want the ICU to select the resources for the
card, click OK. Otherwise, skip to step 6.
The ICU uses the default resources set by the card
manufacturer whenever possible. If the ICU cannot
find a resource that is valid for the card and available
in the system, the utility generates an error message.
See Appendix B, "ISA Configuration Utility
Messages," for an explanation of the message and a
possible solution to the conflict.
If you are satisfied with the default resources
assigned to the card, you can skip the remainder of
this procedure.
6.
To select the resources yourself, click Advanced.
The Card Configuration dialog box (see Figure 3-3)
displays all resources used by the card. Some cards
have multiple functions, each having one or more
resources associated with it. For example, a commu-
nications card can have fax, modem, and scanner
functions, each of which may have one or more asso-
ciated resources.
