NOTE: After modifying the system configuration, you must turn the system off to
install, remove, or change jumper settings on the non-Plug and Play ISA expansion
cards to match the settings you selected in the ICU.

Modifying a card allows you to change the system resources used by a card. This fea-
ture is helpful when you want to add a card that requires resources already in use by
other cards or devices in your computer. You can allocate different resources to the
cards currently in your computer to free the resources necessary for the card you
want to install.
You can also use this feature to force Plug and Play or PCI expansion cards to use spe-
cific resource values. This procedure is called
locking a card. You should lock a card
only if it uses static device drivers. See “Locking and Unlocking Cards” found later in
this chapter for more information.
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.
