Defining an ISA Card
An ISA card usually comes with a vendor-created .CFG file that specifies the resources the card
requires to function properly. If the .CFG file is unavailable, you must manually create it or define
the card through the SSU. Defining an ISA card consists of specifying the name of the card and
the resources it consumes. This allows the RCA to consider the ISA card resource requirements
when the RCA tries to resolve conflicts. The system BIOS also uses the information to configure
the hardware when the system boots.
1. To add or remove ISA card resources, click on the appropriate resource buttons, select the
desired value, and click on Add or Remove.
2. After you complete the necessary information, click on Save.
3. To edit a card, click on Load to retrieve the card information. After making changes, click on
Save.
4. To create a card, click on New.
5. To remove a current definition of a card, click on Delete.
