2. Perform any required preparatory steps before starting the utility.
Preparatory steps include making a program diskette, copying your mouse driver to this diskette, and making a backup copy
of this diskette. See "
Preparing to Use the ICU" found later in this chapter for detailed instructions.
3. Start the system using your ICU diskette.
Verify that the Boot Sequence category in the System Setup program is set to Diskette First. Then insert the backup copy of
the ICU diskette into drive A, and turn on your computer or press the reset button.
NOTE: The ICU takes a few minutes to load. During this time, the cursor may appear as an hourglass rather
than as an pointer.
When the utility has finished loading, the ICU window (see
Figure 3-1) is displayed.
4. Add, modify, or remove a card, or view resources for a card or other device.
Depending on what you need to accomplish with the ICU, you may need to perform one or more of these tasks:
If you are adding a non-Plug and Play ISA expansion card, see your online System User's Guide or "Adding a Listed
Card" found later in this chapter for detailed instructions. If the card you are adding does not have a configuration
file, see your online System User's Guide or "
Adding an Unlisted Card" found later in this chapter for detailed
instructions.
If you are modifying a card that is already installed, see your online System User's Guide or "Modifying a Card" found
later in this chapter for detailed instructions.
If you are removing a card, see your online System User's Guide or "Removing a Card" found later in this chapter for
detailed instructions.
If you want to examine the resources already assigned in the system, see your online System User's Guide or
"
Viewing Resources" found later in this chapter for detailed instructions.
5. Save your configuration, and exit the utility.
See your online System User's Guide or "
Saving the System Configuration" and "Exiting From the ICU" found later in this
chapter for detailed instructions.
About the ICU
Before your system was shipped from Dell, a technician used the ICU to enter the correct information for the expansion cards
initially installed in your computer.
If your system was shipped with Dell-installed software, the ICU diskette image (from which you can make an ICU diskette) is
installed on your hard-disk drive. (Your system may also be accompanied by an ISA Configuration Utility Diskette.)
The ICU is also available through online services such as Dell's TechConnect bulletin board service (BBS). See your online
System User's Guide or the chapter titled "Getting Help" in your Diagnostics and Troubleshooting Guide for information on
accessing the BBS.
Whenever you add or remove a non-Plug and Play ISA expansion card, use the ICU to reconfigure your system. The utility reads
the card's corresponding configuration file (.cfg file), which describes the card's characteristics and required system resources.
After the resources identified in these configuration files are assigned to all non-Plug and Play ISA expansion cards, the system
assigns resources to all Plug and Play expansion cards, as well as PCI expansion cards, thereby creating a conflict-free
configuration.
