Adding an Unlisted Card

Unlisted cards are non-Plug and Play ISA expansion cards that do not have configuration files stored in the ICU database.

NOTE: If you want to add a configuration file that you received on diskette with a new expansion card, see "Adding a

Listed Card" found earlier in this chapter.

To add an unlisted card with the ICU, follow these steps:

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. Click the name of the category of card that you want to add. If you clicked Add in step 2, click OK.

A dialog box appears listing the names of all available cards of that type.

4. Select Unlisted Card from the bottom of the list of cards displayed in the dialog box that appears. Then click OK.

5. Click No when the ICU asks if you have a configuration file for the card.

The Configure Unlisted Card dialog box appears with blank fields.

6. Enter the name of the card that you want to add in the Card Name field.

7. For each resource you want to assign to the card, click the box beneath the name of the resource to be assigned

and then click Add.

For example, if you click the box beneath IRQ, the button changes to Add Interrupt. When you click this button, a Specify

dialog box (in this case, Specify Interrupt) appears. Figure 3-7 shows the Configure Unlisted Card dialog box with the

Specify Interrupt dialog box opened.

Figure 3-7. Specify Interrupt Dialog Box

If you are providing a value for the interrupt request (IRQ) or direct memory access (DMA) resource, click the down arrow

beneath Available Resources. A smaller Specify list box appears (see Figure 3-8). Click the value you want to assign to the

resource. Then click OK.
