NOTE: Use the following procedure before an ISA expansion card is installed. See
"When to Run the RCU" found earlier in this chapter for more detailed information.
A list of expansion slots and the cards installed in them appears on the screen.
If the utility asks for the option configuration diskette, insert the diskette that
accompanied your expansion card.
If the utility asks for the system configuration diskette, insert your RCU diskette.
If the utility asks for the .cfg file library diskette, insert the diskette of .cfg files.
The utility asks you to confirm your choice, and then it prompts you to select the
expansion slot in which the card will be installed.
If you are adding an ISA expansion card, insert your .cfg diskette to find the .cfg
file for that card. If the .cfg file for the expansion card you are installing is not on
the diskette, select Generic ISA Board from the list of configuration files.
NOTE: Alternatively, if you know the resources used by the expansion card, you
can press <F5> and bring up a menu that lets you create the .cfg file.
For all ISA expansion cards, use the Step 4: Examine Switches or Print Report
option (under the Steps in Configuring Your Computer menu) to check the switch
and jumper settings on the new card. Configure the new card as indicated before
it is installed in your computer.
Remember to save a printout or written copy of your new configuration. The util-
ity may prompt you to check the jumper and switch settings on the new card.
Follow the online instructions to see an illustration of the new card's settings.
Use the following procedure before an ISA expansion card is repositioned but after a
PCI expansion card is repositioned. See "When to Run the Resource Configuration
Utility" found earlier in this chapter for more detailed information.
