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.

A message box appears, notifying you either that the card is using its default settings or that it cannot use its default settings
and must be reconfigured.

resource settings currently displayed.
8. If you had to assign a disallowed resource value to the card in steps 5, 6, and 7, click each of the other cards, and then
click View until you find another card using a resource value that is allowed for the unlisted card. Reassign the resource
setting for this other card. Then modify the resource settings for the unlisted card so that it uses an allowable value.
